Croquet Court

Is there a low voltage product that pops up like a sprinkler head? I would like to light the court (40x50) close to ground level.

Yes, indeed. It's called a rising bollard. RUUD makes them, as well as others.

When we play croquet, you are lucky if it isn't dark AND raining. Only sissies would use pop up bollards!

Of course we are not opposed to standard field play, but we limit that to daytime:

Lucaya, actually. Probably the best resort at sucking money from the tourists in the Northern Hemisphere, and well worth it!

Those fixtures have been discontinued for some time now... Too many issues with reliability of the mechanism.
