Here at First Light, we’ve been pushing the limits of commercial solar lighting since 2009. We’re on a mission to make our solar lights the go-to option for outdoor lighting and are constantly pushing our product designs and technology forward to deliver better performance.
That’s why we’re excited to announce a completely redesigned optic for the PLB series solar LED bollard. While the PLB has always done a great job illuminating pathways, we took the opportunity to substantially improve it through our all new, custom optic.
The results are easy to see and the lighting distribution of the PLB series has been elevated to a level that is exceptional for a solar bollard and that few wired bollards can match.
Setting the New Standard for Solar Bollard Lighting
With our custom-designed optic, lighting performance is significantly improved. This means the PLB series now provides:
- Better light uniformity. Light is far more evenly distributed on the ground.
- Greater forward throw. The PLB can now effectively light 50% wider pathways.
- Greater throw down pathways. With light reaching 50% further down pathways, fewer solar bollards are required per project, which significantly reduced costs.
- Full cut-off light. This eliminates uplight, glare and minimizes backlight to avoid light trespass while being .
- More light. Light output has increased by 23%.
In addition to better lighting performance, the already tough PLB offers a more robust design to combat vandalism and the elements. This includes the ability to withstand flooding.
All these improvements have been added to the PLB with no increase in cost.
