Replacing Bollard Lights

[jmellc]

We are troubleshooting pool lights and looking at replacing 5 bollards. I have installed a few from scratch but not done replacements. These we are working with mount differently than ones I installed before. I assume I should be able to drill the concrete base and use wedge anchors if i cannot get lights with the same mounting. Have any of you done much bollard replacement? Am I looking at a lot of trouble?

Are the bollard lights made of concrete? If so, I have done a few concrete bollard lights. When one gets hit and breaks, we drill new holes and set new anchors with epoxy. Not a huge deal.

No these are metal. Tube about 30 x 5 inches.

We pour new cement if necessary. Cut the bottom off a 5gallon bucket, and you have your form.

Wound up removing one altogether, too damaged to use. I cut the long 10-32 rods off the base and cut the wires flush. Made sure no power was coming to it. Others wtill light and the covers still cover the bulbs ok, though cracked. They will last as long as they last. I checked all around for new shades but couldn't find any and the customer would not go for any new lights.
