Citadel Low Voltage Column Path Light, 17.75 or 35.5 in, Black, by ET2

The ET2 Citadel path light is a slim black column of vertical aluminum strands around an acrylic LED tube, in 17.75 and 35.5 inch heights. It runs on 12 to 24V low voltage, is wet rated for garden beds and walkways, and gives filtered 3000K light all around.

The aluminum strands filter the glow from the LED tube, so the path light lights the ground and the plants around it without a hard point of brightness. The column is 3.25 in square, and the finish is Matte Black. The 17.75 in is a low bollard for path edges and the 35.5 in is a taller marker for driveways and garden corners. Rated life is 50000 hours and dimming covers Triac, ELV and 0-10V. The look suits Modern landscapes with steel planters and concrete pavers.

Which size for which room

• 17.75 in: 3.25 x 3.25 x 17.75 in, 450 lumens on 10 W. A low bollard for path edges and garden beds where the light should stay below the knee.
• 35.5 in: 3.25 x 3.25 x 35.5 in, 540 lumens on 12 W. A taller column to mark drive entries, steps and corners, and to cast light farther along the ground.

Where it works best

Line a walkway with the shorter column on one side at 8 to 10 ft intervals, and use a few tall ones to mark turns, gates or the end of a driveway. In planting beds, set them near ground cover and grasses so the filtered light rakes across the leaves. Pair with simple wall lights in black for a cohesive landscape.

Who this is not for

It is a low voltage fixture for 12 to 24V, so it needs a suitable landscape power supply that is not part of the fixture. The LED is integrated and the unit is not an area floodlight. It is not listed as ADA, since the column stands free of the wall.

Why we carry ET2

Citadel gives landscape projects a fixture that looks as good by day as at night. We carry it for the 50000 hour rated life and the choice between a low and tall column.

Care and installation

Wipe the aluminum strands and tube with a soft damp cloth, and clear leaves and mulch from the base. A qualified electrician should install the cable and power supply, per ET2. Assembly sheet: 3.25 x 17.75 in (PDF).

Frequently asked questions

How far apart should I space the Citadel path lights?

A common spacing is 8 to 10 ft along a path for the 17.75 in size, with the light overlapping at ground level. The 35.5 in can be spaced farther apart, about 10 to 12 ft, since it throws light higher up.

Can the Citadel be used in rain and snow?

Yes. It is rated for wet locations, so it can sit in garden beds, along paths and near walks in all weather. Set it on a firm footing so it stays level.

Does the Citadel work with a dimmer?

Yes. It accepts Triac, ELV or 0-10V dimming. Match the control to your low voltage transformer, and test the low end before final setup.

Which height should I choose?

Choose 17.75 in for path edges and the 35.5 in for drive entries, corners and taller plantings. The shorter column weighs 3.9 lb and the taller 5.94 lb.

What should my electrician know before installing the Citadel?

The fixture is a 12 to 24V low voltage unit with 8 in of lead wire and a 4.75 in base. Plan the transformer capacity for the total wattage, 10 W or 12 W each.

Can I use the Citadel for commercial landscaping?

Yes. The wet rating, 50000 hour life and 3-in-1 dimming suit hotel grounds, restaurant patios and office paths. Use one height across a path for a calm rhythm.
