The Skot light was developed in the early 1900s by LK (Lauritz Knudsen). The Skot Bollard was originally developed for ships and maritime areas, but it has also become popular in other environments where its compact and sturdy design has appeal. The LED version was launched in 2012.

With an opal screen the fixture emits soft comfortable and symmetric light. With a clear, half shaded screen the fixture emits non-glare symmetric light directed downwards. The half shade helps to channel the light.
