As the name implies a lighting tower is a tall piece of equipment fitted with lights that is used to illuminate a large work area. You will often find them on building sites as well as on road and highway construction sites. Lighting towers may be motor-driven, battery-powered or solar-powered and enable work to proceed 24 hours a day. They are indispensable during the winter months when daylight is at a premium.
The idea of the lighting tower is not new. Movie sets have employed powerful electric lighting for more than a century. Lighting towers for construction purposes, however, are typically lighter, a bit smaller and can be set up and broken down in a matter of minutes.
The Benefits of Using a Lighting Tower
The benefits of lighting towers are easy to appreciate and include:
Enhanced visibility
In cases where lighting opportunities may be limited a lighting tower will create outstanding visibility that will be appreciated by everyone. When the work moves to another area the lighting tower can be easily moved so that your crew never has to operate in the dark.
Enhanced safety
The primary reason for bringing outside light to bear on a worksite is to reduce the chances of there being an accident. Safety risks abound on the typical jobsite and the risks become exponentially greater when the site is poorly illuminated. Tower lights mitigate that risk.
Improved security
When passing construction sites at night you may have noticed that they are sometimes brightly lit even though there are no workers present. In this case the lighting tower is helping ensure opportunistic thieves do not sneak onto a darkened site and make off with valuable materials.
Enabling construction companies to meet deadlines
Lighting towers ensure that work does not grind to a halt on a site because the workers cannot see properly. This, in turn, helps the construction company stay on schedule.
