Introducing the BEGA 71014S Power Bollard

A standout product in BEGA’s range is the BEGA 71014S Power Bollard—specifically engineered for the Australasian landscape. This robust model, an adaptation of the original BEGA 71014, was customised to meet the unique requirements of our region’s public and commercial spaces. Key features include:

  • Customisable Power Options: The bollard’s internal gear tray has been innovatively modified to support various configurations using Clipsal 56 series sockets. Options include configurations of 1 x 32A socket with 2 x 10A/15A/20A sockets, 2 x 10A/15A/20A sockets, 2 x 32A, or 2 x 40A sockets, catering to diverse electrical needs.
  • Robust Construction: Made with high-grade materials, the bollard features a lockable door for secure access to electrical components, ensuring safety and unauthorised access prevention.
  • Versatile and Efficient Installation: Supplied as a complete mechanical unit, the bollard requires only the mounting of the sockets, significantly simplifying installation. The inserts for socket mounting are customisable and ordered separately according to specific customer needs.
  • Compliance and Safety: The design includes 2 x IP rated circuit breaker housing with din rail mounting, compatible with Hager switchgear (not included). All internal wiring and power supply to the outlets comply with AS 3000 Wiring Rules, ensuring all operations are up to national safety standards.

Where to Use BEGA Bollards

The adaptability of BEGA’s system and power bollards makes them suitable for a wide range of applications, particularly in areas with specific lighting and power requirements:

  • Apartment Buildings: Ideal for effective illumination in residential areas.
  • Wildlife Areas: Perfect for environments where nocturnal animals and migratory birds are present, helping to minimise light pollution.
  • Public Parks and Outdoor Markets: Ideal for spaces such as food truck areas, BEGA power bollards can provide lighting, power and water access for vendors and event setups.
  • Marinas: These bollards are well-suited for marina environments, offering power or water outlets for boats and other equipment, while also providing safe pathway lighting.
  • Lower Risk Crime Areas: Suitable for areas where the need for vertical illuminance or facial recognition is reduced, but maintaining a sense of safety and visibility is important.

 

Additionally, the AS/NZS 1158.3.1:2020 standard for lighting in roads and public spaces categorises bollard use for pedestrian areas and pathways. BEGA’s bollards ensure reliable horizontal and vertical illuminance, crucial for creating safe, well-lit environments.

Dark Sky Compliance

BEGA’s bollards also contribute to reducing light pollution through Dark Sky-compliant designs, ensuring that illumination is directed only where it’s needed. This is crucial for minimising environmental impact, particularly in urban areas. Use the Dark Sky ‘Luminaire Type’ filter to identify the compliant bollards in Moth Light’s BEGA range.
