Tower Lights: Lumens, Mast Height, and Fuel Choices

Tower lights ensure visibility and safety on night projects or remote sites. We supply multiple mast heights and high-output LED lighting with efficient fuel use.

How to select a tower light

1. Lumens: match to site size and activity.
2. Mast height: affects coverage angle and shadow minimization.
3. Fuel: typically diesel for long runtime and availability.
4. Mobility: towable trailer vs fixed base on site.
5. Noise: pick silent models near offices/residential areas.

LED vs Metal Halide

LED provides high output with lower fuel consumption and instant full brightness. It also has longer life and lower heat. While rental cost may be higher, total operating cost is often lower for medium/long projects.

Coverage planning

An 8–9 m mast with four LED floodlights typically covers ~2000–3000 m² depending on aiming and obstacles. Use 10–20% overlap for uniform lighting and cross-aim towers to reduce shadows.

Runtime, fuel & noise

• Tank size determines continuous hours; some models exceed 60–70 hours per fill.
• Fuel use is lower with LED fixtures.
• Noise (dB) must comply with local limits—select silent models as needed.

Safety & setup

• Stabilize outriggers on level ground and stake down in windy areas.
• Aim floodlights to avoid glare for neighbors/drivers and reduce shadows.
• Inspect cables and keep clearance around the generator set.
