MUSH-M Wide Cap Mushroom Bollard

Match the cap to the planting — MUSH-D for lawns, MUSH-F for held edges, MUSH-M widest eave for dense borders. Open lawns and general paths suit the standard D180 dome of MUSH-D; paved walks and steps that need a held edge suit the flat top of MUSH-F; dense borders, rose beds and tall groundcover want the widest eave here. For standard dome see MUSH-D, for crisp edging see MUSH-F — if widest cap for lush beds is the brief, the MUSH-M 18W with its D210 eave is that pick.

Sit H160–H400 inside groundcover, H600–H1000 where shrubs reach knees so eave stays above leaves. Sit low posts (H160–H400) inside groundcover and step up to H600–H1000 where shrubs reach knees or higher, so the eave stays above the leaves. Start at roughly 2.5 to 4 metres apart so the broad pools just overlap — tighter for safety-first walks, wider for glow-first beds. A 12-metre border, for example, settles on four to five posts. Every MUSH-M height carries the same 18W engine under the D210/D200 eave.

Not at these heights: output spreads sideways under a wide shade as a wash, not a spotlight. Not at these heights: the output spreads sideways under a wide shade instead of staring back at seated eyes, reading as a wash rather than a spotlight. Take 2700K for timber decks, dining patios and warm planting; take 4000K where steps and work areas need truer edge definition, both at Ra80. The MUSH-M holds both CCTs across its 18W D210 wide-cap range.

Yes — the post is die-cast aluminum with a PC diffuser and a Light Grey finish made for planting beds, sprinklers and mulch splash, wired straight to 100-240V with no external driver to shelter. Set the base on a drained footing and keep piled mulch clear of the shade so the skirt of light escapes freely. That die-cast 18W D210 package is why the MUSH-M suits permanent border planting.

The MUSH-M runs on 100-240V mains with a non-dimmable integrated SMD engine, so a qualified electrician should make the connection and the ground fixing — no driver boxes or low-voltage transformers to plan around. Order the heights per bed first; the wiring is one standard circuit. All nine MUSH-M models share this 100-240V 18W layout under the D210/D200 eave.
