The Lighted Bollard Covers have been a popular product here at Ideal Shield since we first introduced them more than 15 years ago. But like with everything from clothing styles to flooring types, updates and improvements can be necessary after nearly two decades. We knew there were things to improve with these luminous bollard covers after years of usage and customer feedback. So, we had a bright idea…
We went back to the drawing board with our engineering team, took on the imperfections, and designed a new lighting system to meet your needs.
Allow us to re-introduce the New and Improved Lighted Bollard Covers.
Better UV Panels
To ensure the Lighted Bollard Covers are charging as much as possible, we’ve updated the solar panel to a newer, more powerful option that will hold the charge even longer to ensure consistent illumination for your storefronts or walking paths.

Aesthetically Pleasing
We’re now offering both the Clear Acrylic glass and the Frosted glass for the UV Lighted Bollard Covers, which will give you the opportunity to add the right touch to your lighting. If you’re looking for more light, the Clear Acrylic is the way. If you’re looking for more accent lighting, the Frosted glass will meet your needs.
We also can fabricate the Bollard Cover to be nearly any size to fit your bollards and landscaping, and can be manufactured in any color necessary to meet your branding or property needs.

Brighter & Better
One of the main pieces of feedback we wanted to fix was the brightness and consistency of the light. With a new LED light system, the new Lighted Bollard Covers feature an even brighter light than the previous design so your walkways and parking lots can be more illuminated.

Let There Be Light
One of the biggest updates was the addition of the Removable & Rechargeable batteries and On/Off switch. The recharging will mean longer lasting battery power but the updated access to change the batteries means you won’t need a new light or bollard cover if power issues arise. The NiMh Rechargeable AA batteries have an average lifespan of 1-3 years, depending on weather and care.
As for the On/Off switch. Previously, the Lighted Bollard Cover let mother nature tell it when it was going to be turned on or off. Now, with the new design, you will have that power. There is now an On/Off switch inside the light cap that you can power up when necessary. This will not “turn the light on” but it will turn the power on so when it is dark enough, the light will automatically come on.

Ideal Shield is consistently looking to update and improve its current offerings while inventing and innovating new ideas. The Lighted Bollard Cover was the latest as we finally saw the light.
