Strut 42 is a slender bollard that bows its head to light the path.
The Design Story
Strut is reduced to a post and a cantilevered head.
Its frosted lens sends light down onto the walkway.
Why You'll Love It
It nearly disappears by day and guides the way at night.
Made for Real Life
There are no bulbs to change: the LED is built in. Give it a rinse with mild soapy water now and then to keep the finish fresh. Pair it with an LED-compatible ELV or 0-10V dimmer for evening light.

Questions We Hear Most
What is the idea behind the Strut 42?
Sean Lavin designed it so that it is a slender bollard that bows its head to light the path. It belongs to Visual Comfort's Strut family.
Which Strut 42 finish suits my exterior?
Our take: black gives a crisp, graphic outline; bronze is rich and moody; charcoal is a softer alternative to black.
Is the Strut 42 bright enough?
That depends on the lamps you choose.
What spacing works for Strut 42 bollards?
Roughly 8–12 feet apart along a path, set back a little from the edge.
Can the Strut 42 handle storms and sprinklers?
Yes. It is wet listed (IP65), so it can live fully in the open, rain or shine.
What is the in-line fuse option on the Strut 42?
A fuse in the fixture’s supply line that protects the circuit, common on commercial jobs.
What goes into installing the Strut 42?
A licensed electrician runs a buried line-voltage circuit; the base anchoring is in Visual Comfort’s install guide.
How soon can the Strut 42 arrive?
All the versions we offer are in stock right now, and in-stock pieces usually leave within 2–3 business days.
