What Is a Solar Bollard Light?
Bollard lights are commonly used to illuminate walkways or landscapes. They help improve pedestrian safety and reduce tripping hazards. A bollard light has a post with a light on top, and they come in a wide variety of styles.
Bollard lights can be round or square, have a dome top or a flat top, and use one of four different reflectors.
What Are the Benefits of Solar Bollard Lighting?
Now that you understand more about a solar bollard light, it’s time to cover the benefits so you can see what these lights can do. There are many types of solar lights, but bollard lights have some unique advantages and special applications.
Increase Safety and Brighten Pathways
Trip and fall hazards are a real concern, especially in a commercial or public location. You want to keep guests, pedestrians, and clients safe and prevent any costly lawsuits.
Fall hazards include cracks in sidewalks or driveways, dark stairs, puddles and water, ice, and so on. In poorly illuminated areas, these hazards can result in someone tripping and falling and potentially getting hurt.
You can increase safety around your building by ensuring it’s well-lit at night.
Uses for solar bollard lighting include:
- Pedestrian walkways
- Trails and bike paths
- Driveways
- Sidewalks
- Docks
- Harbors
- Parks
- Stairways
- Courtyards
- Pools
- Common areas
Having enough lighting at night can decrease the number of accidents that occur due to slips and falls on your property.
Show Off Landscaping
Another use for solar power is that these lights are excellent for highlighting your landscaping. You can show off plants and flowers, trees, and water features even when the sun goes down.
Bollard lights are great for either residential or commercial applications. If you’re a homeowner, or if you’re lighting condos or apartments, solar lights can boost curb appeal. If you’re a business, outdoor lighting highlights the landscaping and also increases safety.
A Long Lifespan
Solar bollard lights are an excellent long-term investment because they’re so durable. You’ll have them for years if you care for them.
You also want your bollard lights to withstand the elements and turn on when you need them most. Our commercial or home lighting solutions stay on even in harsh conditions, such as rain, wind, and storms.
The aluminum structure can even withstand saltwater.

Solar lights are always on when you need them. Unlike traditional lighting, you don’t have to frequently replace the bulbs. Our LED solar bollard lights are designed to last.
Another benefit is that your solar lights go on even during a power outage since they rely on power from the sun.
Eco-Friendly Lighting
Globally, solar power usage grew by 22% in 2020 and shows no signs of slowing down.
Greenhouse gas emissions are a real threat to our environment, prompting many people to look for green alternatives to energy. Our reliance on fossil fuels is one of the top causes of pollution. In the United States, we currently use coal for over half of our electricity needs.
Using solar energy is a cleaner alternative, offering an eco-friendly light solution.
Low Maintenance
One of the biggest benefits of solar lights is that they’re very low-maintenance. It requires little work to keep them operating at peak efficiency.
Due to their durability and the weatherproof materials, you may not have to worry about maintenance at all. All you need to worry about is keeping them clean and ensuring they can soak up enough light to operate.
Efficient
Solar LEDs are highly efficient, using less energy and lasting much longer than incandescent lighting. Our Solar Lighting International Bollard produces up to 420 lumens.
It also uses a Type IV/Type V lighting distribution. The lens is specifically engineered so you can produce symmetrical or asymmetrical lighting, depending on your needs.
Also, the optic lens has various lighting distribution options, making these lights suitable for different areas and applications.
