Solar Lighting for Pathways
A pathway that goes dark at sunset puts pedestrians and cyclists at a disadvantage every night.
Light trails and walkways without trenching through parkland. No permits, no wiring, glare-free coverage.

Trenching is what keeps most paths dark.
Parks departments, HOAs, and developers all hit the same wall: trenching through parkland, greenbelts, or rocky terrain is usually the single biggest obstacle to lighting a path at all, and the cost and permitting delay often shelve the project before it starts. An unlit pathway, meanwhile, is a hazard the moment the sun goes down.
Three reasons solar wins on a trail.
No trenching through protected land
Skip the disruption and cost of running conduit through parkland, greenbelts, or difficult terrain.
No permitting delay
Remote trail segments do not require electrical permitting, which keeps the project moving for parks departments and developers alike.
Glare-free, pedestrian-scale light
Bollard-height coverage suits pedestrian and cyclist sightlines better than tall poles, without glare.
The fixtures for this job
PLB is the lead product for pathway lighting, whether the buyer is a parks and recreation department or a developer connecting neighborhood trails. IPL is the secondary option for wider pole spacing on longer segments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Bollards use a bolt-to-footing install and need no trenching or wiring, so there is no cutting through protected parkland or greenbelt to run power.
FLT bollards use full-cutoff optics built for pedestrian-scale coverage, designed to avoid glare at eye level.
Spacing depends on the fixture, its optic, and the site layout. Confirm exact spacing against the current spec sheet and site plan.
