What Engineers & Councils Ask

When specifying solar bollards for public infrastructure, engineers and councils typically focus on a consistent set of practical considerations. Here’s how the SBL2 Series addresses them.

Do they stay on all night?
Yes, if you want them to. All 2 Series solar lights provide reliable all-night illumination at 100% output, with 4+ nights battery autonomy depending on the power model.

Do they work in shaded locations?
Yes. Different power models are available, including a low-power option designed to operate in full shade. Each site is assessed so the correct configuration is selected.

How far apart should they be spaced?
Typical spacing is 6–11m for compliant pathway lighting. Final spacing will depend on the power model, site conditions, area to be illuminated, and required lighting outcome.

Are they suitable for coastal or flood-prone areas?
Yes. All 2 Series solar lights are IP68 submersible, IK10 impact resistant, and constructed with marine-grade materials suitable for harsh outdoor environments.

Do batteries need regular replacement?
No. The batteries will last 10-15 years, and warranted for 10 years, but can be changed, nonetheless.

Are they difficult to install?
No. Installation is straightforward and does not require an electrician or solar installer. Bollards can be direct-buried or flange-mounted depending on site requirements.

Clear answers to these questions make specification simpler and reduce uncertainty early in the design process.
