Lighting Equipment

Yes you can at Flexihire. Solar-powered mobile lighting towers utilise solar panels to harness energy from the sun. These panels are typically mounted on the tower structure or integrated into the trailer. The captured solar energy is stored in batteries, which power the lighting fixtures during nighttime or low-light conditions.

A mobile lighting tower is a portable lighting system used to illuminate outdoor areas. It consists of a tall mast with multiple light fixtures mounted on top, supported by a sturdy base or trailer. Mobile lighting towers are commonly used in various industries such as construction, events, mining, and emergency services to provide temporary lighting in remote or dark locations.

Mobile lighting towers typically have a generator or battery pack that supplies power to the lights. The lights are mounted on an extendable mast, allowing them to be elevated to a desired height. The lighting fixtures used are usually high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that provide bright, efficient illumination. The tower is designed for easy transportation and setup, often featuring wheels, a tow hitch, and collapsible mast sections. See our video on how to operate a mobile lighting tower.

Mobile lighting towers typically include features such as a telescopic or hydraulic mast for height adjustment, adjustable light fixtures, a power generator or battery pack, fuel or battery monitoring systems, an automatic on/off timer or sensor, and a control panel for operating the lights. The towers may also have additional safety features like stabilising legs, emergency stop buttons, and weatherproof enclosures.

Mobile lighting towers can be powered by various sources. The most common power source is an internal combustion engine generator, which runs on diesel, petrol, or gas. However, there are also models available with battery packs that can be charged and used for extended periods without the need for fuel. Some advanced lighting towers even offer hybrid power systems that combine generators with battery packs for increased efficiency and reduced emissions. Solar powered lighting towers are also available now from Flexihire.

The operating time of a mobile lighting tower depends on factors such as the power capacity of the generator or battery pack, the type of lights used, and the intensity of illumination required. In general, mobile lighting towers with a full fuel tank can operate for 8 to 80 hours continuously, depending on the model and load. Battery-powered towers can typically provide illumination for 6 to 30 hours, depending on the battery capacity and light output. It's important to refer to the specifications provided by the manufacturer for precise information regarding operating times.
