Our semi-bespoke BC15 solar bollard light system is a new concept and is not available anywhere else. It's a very unique solution for applications where individual self-contained, stand-alone solar bollard lights would not be ideal due to the conditions of the installation site. Where shade or partial shade is an issue, a hybrid system is often the perfect solution. Choose from one or more bollard light fittings complete with a remote solar power station to provide hardwired, low-voltage power. Pricing from £999.99.
There are many instances where individual, solar powered bollard lights are not an ideal fit due to shade or partial shade at the installation site. This could be from buildings, structures, landscaping or tree canopies. It's a known fact that no solar panel will work properly in the shade, For locations where there is no mains power, shading just creates a further complication. Our BC15 solar bollard light system helps solve this problem because it uses a single solar power system combining both the solar panel, battery and controller within one compact unit. This allows the installer to run one low-voltage cable to one or more of the bollard light fittings, as required. This can be individual cables or daisy-chained into a group. The objective is to site the solar panel where it can receive maximum exposure irrespective of where the bollard fittings need to be. Using low-voltage 24V DC cabling makes the installations easier than running mains power and provides an allowance of up to 100M distance. The project can also be completed without the need for an electrician. This system can be ordered as per the end-user requirements. Multiple bollard lights can be included and connected together on one system. We offer a choice of bollard height and LED power. The system can be preprogrammed to operate as required with single, dual timed or multi-timed operating modes, and the option for dimming for any duration and at any percentage during any of the modes, This allows maximum flexibility. The solar power system is neat and compact. No need for lots of hardware, separate components or a separate battery enclosure. This system is supplied with everything you should need in one simple package. It's a 24V DC system and features a monocrystalline solar panel. We offer a choice of solar panel sizes and wattages depending on the bollard quantity, total LED power, and hours or times of operation. That's because this system is designed and sized accordingly taking several factors into account. Within the solar panel is a very high capacity lithium battery pack that is also sized accordingly. It's housed within a slim, weather resistant enclosure mounted to the underside of the solar panel. The solar power unit includes a tenon mount which is suitable for the top of a 76mm OD column. A surface mount bracket is available instead by special order. The system is pre-programmed prior to dispatch. Options are configured by Solar Illuminations because they are subject to the load on the system, geographic location of the site, and other factors. Supplied as a complete stand-alone system. Colour finish is black.
PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS A SPECIAL ORDER, MADE TO ORDER SYSTEM.
Popular Uses
Perfect for locations where shade or partial shade prevents conventional solar bollard lights from being installed. Otherwise, this self-contained, stand-alone system is ideal for many outdoor applications such as footpaths, car parks, recreational areas, parks, and general locations where low-level amenity lighting is required.

Please
Note
This product is a special order and is non-returnable except in
the event of a fault (during its warranty period) when the product, once
returned will be repaired or replaced. The solar panel must be
installed in a location where it can receive full direct sunshine (when
available) and usually set facing South at an appropriate angle (where
adjustment options allow). The solar panel must not be installed in a
shaded or part shaded location and never indoors. The standard
specifications of the system (particularly the solar panel Wattage and
battery capacity) may need to be adjusted. These components are
determined by your geographic location, power consumption (LED Wattage)
and the total amount of hours of illumination time required. Such
changes to the standard specifications may increase or decrease the cost
shown. Please contact us for more information or assistance. The
illumination time is estimated and subject to various factors including
(but not limited to) geographic location, seasons, temperature, weather
conditions & location of product etc. The illumination time of most
solar lights can reduce during winter months when the weather is poor
and the days are shorter. During this time insolation hours decrease
accordingly. Shorter illumination time due to one or more of the above
factors does not define the product as being ‘defective’ or ‘not as
described’. All solar lights must be used in a completely dark location
at night time otherwise they may not illuminate. Nearby strong lighting
sources or ambient lighting may affect the operation of a solar light.
This does not define the product as being 'defective' or 'not as
described'. Please note, if you do not install or use this product for
several months the battery may discharge naturally on its own. By
allowing a battery to deep discharge it may cause irreversible damage as
the battery may then lose the ability to recharge or hold a full
charge. Although unlikely, we reserve the right to supply this product
with any minor alterations or minor changes to the specifications (shown
above by text description or by photographs) due to different supplies
or product batches received, incorporating such product changes made by
the manufacturer, without further notice. Descriptions, specifications
and photographs are updated regularly but may not be current when minor
changes to a product have only recently been made.
