LITECHARGA – Corten Steel Solar LED Bollard Light 0.8m

The Litecharga Corten Steel Solar LED Bollard Light, crafted from weathering steel, features a distinctive rust-like patina. This unique material forms a protective rust layer that enhances durability by resisting further corrosion in outdoor environments. Originally developed as Cor-Ten in the USA, this steel offers exceptional corrosion resistance and tensile strength, making it a top choice in architectural design. Once used primarily for large-scale industrial projects, Corten steel is now valued for its stylish, modern appeal in smaller applications. The Litecharga Corten Steel Solar Bollard Light complements materials like timber, concrete, glass, or lush greenery, delivering a sophisticated, contemporary aesthetic for any outdoor space.

Standing at 800mm tall with a 160mm diameter, this solar-powered bollard features a frosted polycarbonate lens for soft, 360-degree illumination that minimizes glare. Designed for efficiency, it activates automatically at dusk, delivering up to 12 hours of light with a smart dimming sequence that adjusts from 100% to 30% brightness over the first five hours. This conserves battery life, reducing output during low-traffic early morning hours. Equipped with a monocrystalline solar panel and LifePO4 lithium battery, it ensures consistent performance. The integrated LED chips produce up to 240 lumens and offer a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours, with a switchable color temperature (warm white 3000K or daylight white 6000K) for customisable ambiance.

The Litecharga Corten Steel Solar LED Bollard Light is engineered for easy surface mounting, featuring a concealed surface mount within its tubular body. It includes expanding anchor bolts and is compatible with optional J-Bolts for secure installation in wet concrete. Unlike mains-powered alternatives that require expensive cabling, this solar bollard is simple to install, highly versatile, and eco-friendly, harnessing solar energy for cost-free operation.

Dimming Sequence and Active Smart Power System

The Litecharga Corten Steel Solar LED Bollard Light incorporates advanced time controllers tailored to the UK climate, optimising battery longevity while maintaining ideal brightness. Its intelligent dimming system ensures brighter illumination during peak evening hours and a reduced output in the early morning, balancing performance and efficiency. The Active Smart Power System (ASPS) further enhances functionality by dimming the light when battery levels are low, extending operational time without sacrificing reliability.
