During the day, the sun excites the embedded particles inside the plastic sleeve. At night, the bollard literally glows making it easier to see.
The fluorescent particles make the bollards slightly more expensive and the number of colours is also slightly less than the traditional plastic bollard sleeves. Despite this, area’s with high vehicle traffic or high pedestrian usage will be attracted to the fluorescent option according to Mr Steve Holder, Leda’s Head of Design. “This is a cheaper option than lighting bollards and if the area is prone to regular damage, much easier to replace,” adds Mr Holder.
Most of Leda’s plastic sleeves end up in industrial sites or shopping area’s. Shopping Centre’s commonly use the sleeves to avoid constant repainting of bollards due to wayward shopping trolleys and the damage they inflict.
