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.

Safe pathways connect communities. Lighting them shouldn't mean digging them up.
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.
Light that stays on the path
Solar bollards with symmetric or asymmetric full-cutoff optics light the path and its edges without spilling into yards or habitat.
Wildlife-friendly options
Amber and Lumileds Nightscape™ Technology are designed with sea turtles and nocturnal wildlife in mind, so trails stay lit without disrupting the habitat around them.
Bright when people are out
The FLT Adaptive Intelligence™ Lighting Controller runs your chosen profile, keeping paths bright while people are out and saving power through the quiet hours.
The fixtures for this job
PLB is FLT's most popular pathway bollard, built for parks, trails and neighborhood walkways. Vega brings a contemporary look to the same job, and IPL covers longer trail segments where wider spacing makes sense.
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.
