Off-grid driveway, pathway and perimeter bollard lighting in 5W, 7W, 18W and 20W. Built for Australian outdoor conditions, no electrician required.
A bollard light marks an edge — the line between driveway and lawn, between path and garden bed, between car park and pedestrian zone. Done well, it looks integrated into the landscape and runs every night without thought. Done badly, it’s a tripping hazard with a flat battery.
Plusrite stocks a focused range of solar bollard lights designed for Australian outdoor conditions. Every fixture in the range runs on solar with built-in lithium battery storage and dusk-to-dawn switching, so there’s no AC cabling, no electrician, and no ongoing energy cost. Vandal-proof, double-sided, decorative, and remote-controlled options are all available.
We know our products inside and out, and we’re always ready to help with new projects.

The right bollard depends on three things: where you’re using it, how bright you need it, and how exposed the location is.
Residential driveways. Standard 5W to 7W bollards spaced 3 to 5 metres apart along the driveway edge produce enough light to define the edge clearly without overpowering the entrance. The solar driveway light is purpose-built for this.
Pathways and garden paths. 5W bollards at 2 to 3 metre spacing give a soft, decorative wash along walkways. The 5W 6K solar LED bollard is the most popular for residential pathway use.
Commercial entries and car park edges. Step up to 18W or 20W for the brighter, more security-grade output suited to commercial premises. The PLS-B-20W at 1000mm height is a strong choice for commercial entries and customer car park boundaries.
Public reserves, parks and high-traffic areas. Choose vandal-proof bollard lights where damage or tampering is a real risk. The reinforced housing and tamper-resistant fixings significantly extend service life in exposed public areas.
Two-sided pathways. The double-sided solar bollard light throws light from both faces of the bollard — ideal where you want to illuminate both sides of a path or boundary from a single fixture.
| Wattage | Typical height | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 5W | ~600–800mm | Garden paths, residential edging, decorative use |
| 7W | ~800–1000mm | Standard residential driveways and walkways |
| 18W | 823mm or 1066mm | Commercial pathways, body corporate driveways |
| 20W | 1000mm | Commercial entries, car park boundaries, perimeter lighting |
The taller fixtures suit installations where a higher mounting point delivers better beam coverage; the shorter fixtures suit residential applications where the bollard is closer to the path edge.
Three reasons, and they apply almost universally to outdoor bollard installations:
Running mains cable to bollards along a driveway typically requires trenching, conduit, electrical sub-circuits and connection by a licensed electrician. For a 30m driveway with 8 to 10 bollards, mains installation can run into thousands of dollars before the lights even arrive. Solar bollards mount mechanically — no cable, no trench, no electrician.
Mains-powered outdoor lighting runs every night, year-round, often on a timer that doesn’t account for seasonal sunset variation. Solar bollards have zero ongoing electricity cost.
Mains-powered bollards die when the power goes out. Solar bollards keep running on stored battery — useful for security, emergency lighting and any application where outage tolerance matters.
The trade-off is that solar bollards depend on adequate sun exposure to charge — typically 6+ hours of direct sun per day. In heavily shaded locations, mains-powered alternatives may be a better fit.
For installations exposed to vandalism, impact damage or harsh coastal conditions, the vandal-proof bollard light is the right pick. It features:
Common applications: public parks, school grounds, council reserves, train station platforms, retail centre carparks and any exposed perimeter where standard bollards have a short service life.
For architectural and feature lighting, the 5W RGB solar bollard with remote control lets you cycle through colours, set static colours, or use the standard white modes. Useful for hotels, function venues, restaurants, residential garden features and any location where lighting is part of the visual experience rather than just functional illumination.
Plusrite solar bollard lights are designed for fast, electrician-free installation:
For commercial and council installations involving multiple bollards, larger pole sizes or formal sign-off requirements, engage a qualified installer.
Most Plusrite solar bollards run for 8 to 12 hours per night on a full daytime charge — comfortably covering an entire Australian night through every season. Larger 18W and 20W fixtures have larger batteries to support their higher output and maintain similar runtime.
Yes. The lithium batteries store enough charge from a full day of winter sun to run the night, and the longer Australian winter nights are well within the runtime envelope of all our bollards. Extended overcast weather (5+ days with minimal sun) may eventually reduce runtime, but normal weather patterns provide enough recovery charge.
No. Solar bollards have no AC connection — installation is purely mechanical (anchoring the bollard to the ground). For commercial installations involving multiple fixtures and formal sign-off, a qualified installer is recommended for site planning and anchoring.
For driveways and pathways, 3 to 5 metres between bollards typically gives continuous illumination of the edge. Closer spacing (2 to 3 metres) creates a brighter, more decorative effect. Wider spacing (5 to 8 metres) creates pools of light at the bollards rather than continuous illumination — suitable for marking position rather than illuminating the path.
Bollard lights are not designed as primary security lighting — their job is to mark edges and illuminate immediate ground area, not throw light across an entire property. For security lighting, pair bollards with solar flood lights at strategic mounting points.
Yes. The IP65+ weather rating and corrosion-resistant housing materials are specified for Australian outdoor conditions including coastal salt spray. For directly exposed coastal sites, the vandal-proof model offers the most robust housing.
