R-6111 Lumi Installation Guide
The R-6111 Lumi bollard is an AC-powered Light bollard that provides a sleek solution for lighting, and architectural or landscape highlighting. Drop-in insert installation is recommended for decorative applications to create architectural perimeters. With this installation method, concrete anchors are used to install the bollard into existing concrete.
Drop-in anchors should only be installed in fully cured concrete that is at least 4" thick.1 All measurements in this installation guide assume a bare, level concrete surface.

NOTE
- Always ensure any applicable site and safety codes have been followed
- Electrical products should always be installed by a qualified individual
- Ensure the power supply is protected by a breaker. Reliance Foundry recommends use of a surge protector.
- To protect the finish, keep bollards in original packaging until the moment of installation
- Handle with care to avoid scratching or damaging bollard surfaces
- Once scratched, bollards cannot be repaired to original form
Before installation
Check for hazards
Always check for hazards such as water pipes, gas lines, and underground wiring before drilling. All applicable site and safety codes should be followed.
Clean the surface
Dirt and debris can affect the line of sight and disrupt placement of the bollards.
Use a broom or pressure washer to clean the concrete surface prior to installation.
Study the site plans
Site plans are generally created by the architect of the project.
Refer to site plans to locate and mark precise center points of each bollard. Ensure sure that the electrical conduit with the site connection point is positioned underneath the bollard.
For secure installation, ensure there is a minimum radius of solid concrete around each mark.
Designate your hole marking
Mark the install points for each concrete insert, either by placing the included gasket in the desired location and marking the ground through the holes, or by measuring six marks equally spaced along a 10.55" diameter circle.
Drill the Holes
Create pilot holes
Tap pilot divot holes in the center of each mark.
This will prevent the hammer drill or rotary hammer from drifting while boring the holes.
Drill the Holes
Using a ½" Masonry Bit, drill holes 1 5/8" deep, so the concrete anchors are flush with the grade when dropped in.
Drill on high speed, using the hammer function if available.
Check the masonry bit often to ensure it remains debris-free.
Prepare the InsertsÂ
Clear and clean the holesÂ
Clear the holes of all debris and/or standing water using the vacuum.
Tap the drop-in insert into each holeÂ
With the slotted end facing down, drive the drop-in insert (A) down until the top of the drop-in insert sits flush with the surface of the concrete.Â
Set the concrete insertÂ
Insert a setting tool (B) into each hole, then hammer down.Â
If a proper setting tool is not available, an equivalent flat-end punch can be used.Â
This will cause the internal expansion plug to set the concrete insert in place.
Electrical Connection
Before doing any electrical work, ensure the power supply has been shut off. Electrical connection should only be done by qualified professionals.
With the bollard close by, pull enough length from the site connection to connect to the input coming out of the base of the bollard. Connect the bollard to the site connection using your preferred waterproof connector. Insert ground (yellow), neutral (black), and positive (red) wires into the connector, matching the wire colors from conduit to bollard.
Leave excess wire such that it will stay inside the alcove in the base when installed.
Note: The Lumi bollard uses a class 2 power supply. Consult a professional electrician when installing to ensure local codes are followed. A grounding screw is provided for the tapped hole in the electrical base alcove if needed.
Install the Base
Place the gasket on the ground, lining up the holes with the concrete inserts. Place the base on top. Place the washers down over the holes, and insert button head bolts into the concrete inserts. With a 7/32" hex key, tighten the bolts in a star pattern (see below) to hand-tight only. Be careful not to overtighten the bolts to avoid damaging the bollard.
Inspect
Inspect the installation
From a distance, examine the plane of view.
Ensure the bollard is flat to the ground.
Care and maintenance
Reliance Foundry manufactures its products to the highest design standards to ensure their durability. Reliance Foundry’s bollards are finished with long-lasting powder coating. In most North American environments, routine inspections and cleaning will ensure that bollards retain their aesthetic appeal. Proper care and maintenance are required to maintain the finish and ensure a full service life.
