Standard floodlights and sensor flood lights

Generally speaking, solar flood lights are one of the highest-intensity types of lighting. They are excellent especially in low-light conditions, providing bright light for a larger area. Also, you may look for features like remote control, LED or sensor lights to bring you extra control and efficiency.

Used for: outdoor playing fields where sport events are held such as horse arena, cricket, rugby, Australian football fields; public pathway, public car park and stage lighting (concerts and plays)

Street lights and solar footpath lights

If you’re looking for a great alternative where mains powered lighting is too difficult or expensive to install, then solar street lights are for you. Due to the solar panel and rechargeable battery, they are usually designed to automatically turn on at dusk and turn off at dawn.

Used for: public footpath lighting, cycle paths, shoreline walkways, car park lighting or campgrounds

Bollard lights

Another reliable outdoor lighting solution is represented by solar bollard lights. This architectural lighting fixture comprises short, upright ground-mounted units and typically gives off light from the top or the sides.

Used for: garden, path lights, resorts, caravan parks or playgrounds

Lamp posts and pillar lights

Just like any other lighting type, solar lamp posts provide functional artificial lighting and offer a large variety of uses. In fact, you may find lamp posts better than bollard lights due to their lower upfront and maintenance costs, as well as their lighting intensity.  

Used for: commercial gardens, function venues, pathways, parks and much more

Commercial solar fairy lights

Finally, displays of Christmas lights in public venues and on public buildings are very popular within the annual fairs and events in Australia. For this reason, businesses and city councils install commercial solar fairy lights as an energy-efficient type of lighting. Having a wide variety of products to your disposal, what better way to celebrate ‘the most wonderful time of the year’ than this?

Used for: Christmas trees, public squares, popular tourist attractions, marquees and gazebos

Remember these names when looking for commercial solar lights. Whether you want them to come with motion sensors or remote controls, you will always have the peace of mind of using high-quality, cost-effective and environmental-friendly lighting solutions.
