Who We Are
Our Lighting Journey
Solar Bollard Lighting® faced many challenges when starting our solar lighting design journey in the early 2000’s as Key Wholesalers Pty Ltd, such as the task of rebuilding confidence in solar lighting as a sustainable lighting alternative that would operate effectively.
This was long before climate change became a hot political topic and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions became critical in the fight against climate change. So as the pioneers of world first lighting innovations over two decades, we became recognised as the go to manufacturer of quality alternative lighting solutions.
We made the decision in 2013 to consolidate our resources and focus on industrial grade design and one product line only. That is when the multi award-winning Solar Bollard Lighting® brand was born as a subsidiary of Key Wholesalers Pty Ltd
Privately Owned and Operated
Being a privately owned and operated company has allowed the management team complete authority over all operational decisions so our long-term visions and goals can be successfully achieved.
By letting our product sell itself and our satisfied customers either repeat purchase or praise our product to others, SBL has continued consistent organic growth with only our website and long to market history over two decades promoting our brand ethos.
This organic growth has allowed us to self-fund further innovation of our “original” product designs and think creatively when pushing the innovation curve further than ever thought possible, and to achieve our sustainable lighting product lines that are tested and certified through NATA accredited laboratories in Australia for accuracy prior to being marketed globally.

Our Purpose and Values
Solar Bollard Lighting® is committed to mitigating climate change through designing out the need for waste, offering only long-life cycle products, the best ROI on a life-cycle basis, and focusing on accelerating awareness and education of sustainable procurement practices of solar lighting technologies.
Over the last two decades as the leader in 100% renewable energy- powered lighting alternatives, we amplified ourselves to this position through focusing on our core principles which include:
- Business Brand Integrity
- Excellence in Fulfilling the Promise
- Customer Benefits Focus
- Designing Out Waste

Trusted Around The World
With over 50,000 solar lights installed in commercial projects across more than 40 countries and backed by our industry leading 10-year product warranty that includes our battery and mounting pole with a warranty claim rate of only 0.25%, proves without doubt, our solar lights are far more superior than our competitors massed produced and under designed short life cycle lighting alternatives.
What sets us further apart from our competitors is our diverse product range that allows our global team to custom design each client’s project to their exact requirement, so a long operational life is assured and the best ROI on a life-cycle basis is achieved.
Then at end-of-life cycle, our solar lights can be 100% recycled, which not only makes buying our solar lighting a value for money proposition, but it also achieves a sustainable procurement outcome.
