Orion Solar has launched a new solar powered bollard called The Rigel. Rigel is the sixth brightest star in the night sky and is part of the Orion Constellation. Just as the star provides an aid to navigation, the Rigel solar powered bollard is the ideal marker for pathways or driveways, enhancing safety without the need for hard wired power.
Rigel solar powered bollards are designed to activate automatically from dusk till dawn, and can be easily and securely installed without the need for an electrician.
Energy efficient LEDs provide the light created by Rigel solar powered bollards. LEDs require a much smaller electrical current than incandescent bulbs, waste almost no energy through heat dissipation and high-intensity LEDs typically enjoy over 100,000 hours of life.
In addition the use of long life LEDs, Rigel solar powered bollards feature an energy management system that ensures many years between battery replacements.
Rigel solar powered bollards rely on sustainable energy, helping customers to go green, and because they are not connected to the power grid, in the case of power emergencies due to natural or man-made causes, Rigel solar powered bollards continue to function.
Mounted on an extruded aluminium spar with tamper-proof mounting screws, Rigel solar powered bollards are structurally strong and vandal-resistant.
