The town of Forbes is located in regional New South Wales in Australia. When the Forbes Shire Council wanted pathway lights for their riverside park, they were conscious that the Lachlan River was prone to flooding. That’s why they selected the Solar Bollards Lighting SBL2 series lights. Having installed x number of lights in the parks a massive flood followed in 2021. Many of the solar bollard lights that went under water were still working while submerged and the vast majority of the lights were in perfect working order after the floods subsided. The benefits of choosing the SBL 2 series Solar Bollard Lighting in the Forbes Parks included:
• The SBL2 series is the only solar bollard light in the world with an IP68 submersible rating, this is why the solar bollard lights survived the Forbes floods.
• All Solar Bollard Lighting models have a IK10 vandal – resistant rating which make them ideal for public places such are pathway lights.
• The independent 100% renewable Solar Bollard Lighting system requires no mains electricity.
• The versatility of the SBL 2 series in coping with a variety of light and shade is an advantage with the Forbes light placements needing to be in full sun, half sun and full shade locations.

This unique location had several challenges which made the Solar Bollard Lighting SBL 2 series, the solar bollard light of choice, these include:
• Although beautiful, the path along the sea wall means salt water is constantly present in the air. That’s why the SBL 2 series commercial grade extruded aluminum alloy 6106 was selected as the pole that would not rust or discolor in this corrosive environment.
• The SBL 2 series is the only solar light in the world with an IP68 submersible rating, with the constant unpredictable storm surges and high tides, the SBL2 is ideally suited to operate in coastal environments.
• Another important factor when choosing the solar bollard lights was their strength and durability. The SBL2 series is the only solar bollard light that has a 10-year warranty and unmatched reliability including an IK10 vandal resistant rating.
• A unique security feature of the SBL2 is that the light head is secured with 4 stainless steel pins which can only be removed with the Solar Bollard Lighting supplied tool.
