1. A portable pole base that is fillable and that in use supports an elongate pole having a solar-powered electronic device mounted thereon, the base comprising:
a hollow structure made from moulded plastics material that can be filled with a filler material, the hollow structure having:
an upper portion and a lower portion with a generally circular footprint, the lower portion of the hollow structure having a substantially vertical cylindrical outer side wall, and the upper portion of the hollow structure having a conical outer side wall, the conical outer side wall having an outer edge extending from a top edge of the cylindrical outer side wall to an apex of the upper portion of the hollow structure, wherein the lower portion of the hollow structure further includes a conical inner side wall that is angled at substantially the same angle to the vertical as the conical outer side wall of the upper portion of the hollow structure, wherein, in use, one of the bases can be more easily stacked on top of another similar base;
a recess that opens at the apex and configured to receive and support one end of the elongate pole, the recess extending all the way through the hollow structure along a central vertical axis of the hollow structure, wherein the vertical axis is central relative a plan view of the hollow structure;
a protrusion formed on the outer surface and that defines a part of the opening of the recess and that is dimensioned so that when the elongate pole is received in the recess the elongate pole can be secured to the protrusion with a clamp;
a fill aperture located in the conical outer side wall for filling the hollow structure with a suitable filler material;
a drain aperture adjacent a lower edge of the substantially vertical cylindrical outer side wall for draining the hollow structure of water; and
a pair of channels molded into a lower surface of the base that are sized to receive tines of a forklift truck.
