Innovative mobile Light Tower lights up Australia
Newly released, the Aust Light Tower is a unique mobile outdoor lighting
solution with many commercial, industrial and promotional applications. What
sets the Light Tower apart is its compact size, affordability and low energy
use, while still emitting high capacity illumination.
Consisting of an inflatable, adjustable semi-transparent tube, the Light Tower
stands up to five metres high and is capable of illuminating an area of 10,000
square metres in less than three minutes from switch on.
It weighs only 25 kilograms and can be easily operated by one person. The
adjustable tube inflates within 60 seconds using a built-in fan and after five
minutes the sodium lamp in the top of the tower has a capacity of up to 600
watts.
The Light Tower is made of a special semi-transparent material that helps to
defuse the light, giving a softer light so that users have better visibility.
Shadows that normally accompany flood lights are greatly reduced and as the
Light Tower is lit from above, users can focus on the task at hand rather than
be distracted by strong lighting.
The Light Tower is stable and can withstand wind gusts of 70 kilometres per hour
with the assistance of tension ropes. The Light Tower can also operate under
harsh conditions, for instance from sub zero temperatures to the heat of the
Australian desert.
In places where mains electricity is not available, the Light Tower can be
powered by a fuel efficient four stroke generator. Unlike other mobile lighting
equipment that is heavy and needs a dedicated trailer for transport and requires
a considerable amount of energy, the Light Tower is energy efficient with
minimal carbon emissions.
"The Light Tower has received rave reviews from everyone who sees it, as there
is nothing else on the Australian market like it," said Stephen Crocker,
managing director of Aust Light Tower.
Crocker noticed a gap in the market when he found there were no rapidly
deployable, cost effective portable lighting solutions available in Australia.
"Light Towers have been used successfully overseas, particularly in search and
rescues, disaster response, road construction and interestingly by the Russian
Space Program to recover space modules on their return to Earth.
"In Australia the Light Tower is already being used by airports, SES branches,
government defence departments and local councils. But the applications for the
Light Tower are numerous and varied. You could use it for promotion and
advertising, at sporting events or anywhere you need a large space illuminated,
quickly, easily and efficiently," said Mr Crocker.
The Light Tower is available in a low-frame and high-frame model, with the
high-frame model made to fit a generator. Both models retail for $4,600.
