Solareye80 is a solar powered delineator with an omni-directional LED producing 360° visibility. Initially designed for cycle track and pathway installations as an economical alternative to hard wiring, there are also numerous other applications where the product can be used such as driveways, marinas and campsites.
We use a unique milling cutter to bore the hole where the blade creates debris rather than dust, therefore making the process less harmful to the environment. The product is then fixed in to place using a two component all weather epoxy adhesive. For more details on how to install Solareye80 solar ground lights, check out our installation video above.
Following preparation of the site by clearing the area and marking the required placement of the units, each cut into a typical asphalt surface takes less than two minutes. We estimate that an experienced two person team can install 200+ pieces in one day.
Solareye80s can be installed in a variety of path surface structures, for guidance on installing them in other construction types, get in touch.

Yes! We have discovered through testing that even in several inches of water the unit will still charge (although it may take longer than if left out in direct sunlight). The unit is also completely sealed and IP68 rated for dust and water ingress. Find out more about IP68 certification in our blog IP68 Certified – What Does IP68 Mean?.
Yes, as long as they receive some direct sunlight they work just as well vertically. The dimpled surface helps to capture more light.
Artificial lighting is a major concern for bats and other nocturnal wildlife. We have adapted our original product to reduce upward slight spillage by 98% making it a far friendlier option for conservation sensitive areas or dark sky reserves. Please check out the Solareye80 Bat Hat for more information.
We also introduced a 2,700k ‘warm white’ colour option in line with the International Dark Sky Association and the Institution of Lighting Professionals and Bat Conservation Trust’s guidance on lighting for bat sensitive projects.
