Product Features
Brighter for Longer
SBL solar lights are designed to deliver full illumination from sunset to sunrise every day, if required. A well-engineered solar lighting system is fully capable of meeting this performance standard.
To ensure a reliable and sustainable lighting outcome, an assessment of the entire project site’s geographical layout is conducted as part of the design process which correlates
Using this data, SBL can determine the optimal power model(s) required for each installation point to ensure consistent all-night lighting throughout the year.
Charges in Shade
SBL set out to design the world’s first stand-alone solar light that would shine bright from sunset to sunrise in fully shaded areas, was a more sustainable and smarter way to light up the night in varying locations.
Tailored power models to suit very diverse geographical locations are custom specified, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all solution typically produced in Asia that cannot achieve a reliable outcome.
This ensures the power level(s) are precisely matched to the lighting requirements of the specific location such as,
Fully Submersible
When SBL developed the world’s first IP68-rated submersible solar bollard light, it was designed to illuminate reliably every night even while fully submerged, without the need for replacement.
As climate-driven threats like hurricanes and cyclones intensify, the risk to coastal communities of flooding, tidal surges, and sea level rise, SBL conceded an IP68-rated solar light was deemed urgently essential.

“Testimonial”
The (Solar Bollard) lights down on the river flat are working amazingly, they have even been fully submerged by 2 floods and still all good.
“I’d definitely recommend these lights in high environmental risk areas.”

Long Life Guarantee
When investing in solar lighting, SBL know a sustainable and reliable positive outcome would be required by clients.
Designing and manufacturing solar lighting specifically for commercial infrastructure projects for over 20 years, SBL prioritised product quality and reliability to exceed clients’ expectations.
SBL manufacture robust RV versions of solar lighting!
Achieving long term partnerships with clients requires a mutual trust between SBL and our client, and why SBL offers the industry-leading 10-year manufacturer’s warranty that includes the battery and pole.
This then ensures our valued clients that SBL is there with them all along on their sustainable lighting journey.
Vandal Resistant
In 2012, SBL developed the world’s first IK10-rated vandal-resistant solar bollard light, it required formal impact resistance testing and certification in accordance with IEC 62262 standards by a NATA-accredited Australian laboratory.
To incorporate IP68 submergibility into the latest product design, the moulded luminaire components were modified to enhance durability, ensuring the product could withstand impacts from debris in fast-moving floodwaters.
To validate the suitability and durability of this design modification, it was subjected to the full-force mechanical impact of a 3kg (6.6lbs) sledgehammer, simulating real-world conditions.
Recyclable & Circular
Not all solar lights have the same environmental sustainability, even though many claim they are green and recyclable, they are not.
This is called greenwashing.
When developing new products, SBL takes a holistic approach by considering the entire life cycle from manufacturing through to disposal and assesses potential environmental impacts that may arise outside the framework of a circular economy at the end-of-life stage.
Long-term exposure to the market and over two decades of industry knowledge, provide the expertise needed to create a 100% recyclable product. This is why not all solar lights are the same in terms of design quality or sustainability.

Australian Made
Solar Bollard Lighting® is committed to not only meeting but setting the world’s best practices in alternative lighting design, and Australians have produced many great innovations such as
In 2004, founder Mike Arieni had the idea of an integrated all-in-one solar light mounted to the top of a pole, he then joined a long list of Australian inventors.
Renewable Clean Energy
Solar Bollard Lighting has been at the forefront of design and innovation of standalone lighting products powered by renewable clean energy from the sun for over two decades.
Long before solar lighting had evolved, or climate change had become a hot political topic, SBL focused on the sun as a reliable and consistent energy source, that is more sustainable to power alternative lighting solutions.
As a renewable source of power, solar energy has an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change, which is critical to protecting humans, wildlife, and ecosystems.
