Suitable Junction Box For Bollard Lights?

nlbhoy · May 2, 2016

I looked at a job over weekend another spark left half done, there's 2 Collingwood LED bollard lights
at the entrance to a small office, one at each side of the pathway.

Cable feeding bollards is 1.5mm 3core swa ran ducting. The bollards come with a pre-wired 2 core
flex out the back of the fittings.

I'm struggling to find a suitable junction box that will take 2 swa and a flex, and is suitably IP rated presumably IP67/68?

Any ideas on what to use?

I've found a couple of one's from collingwood etc but they all seem to take only a flex.

Could you not use a underground submarine joint kit Cable Jointing : 3M UK & Ireland

You could bury a JB under the fitting, fix a galvanised conduit box to the bollard in the most inconspicuous place, or fix a JB to a stake nearby and suitably protect the flex to the fitting.

£365.11 - how many do you get for that? Daz

or get some surplus flight recorders from boeing. they're good for a couple of thousand ft. under water. make wago connections in them. :96:

If you are looking for an underground connection unit, then perhaps you might consider a termination joint pack. However you have stated that there is a flex coming from the bollard so you may need to consider additional protection of the cable with armour flex or similar. If you need to get access to it and its above ground, Galv term box 'U' or 'Y' if its a loop with gasket and galv lid.
