Lighting towers

With the arrival of shorter working days, products such as Youngman Group's Ecolite mobile lighting towers can help keep any construction project on schedule.

The many benefits offered by the Ecolite design should make them a first choice for any contractor seeking an efficient and reliable source of mobile lighting, claims the company.

The superior definition, clarity and colour rendition of light produced by the energy efficient ceramic discharge metal halide lamps was certainly recognised by the organisers of this year's Glastonbury Festival, where 20 Ecolites were used as part of an effort to become the world's first major carbon neutral rock event.

Ecolite lighting towers are reported to be 75% more efficient than traditional 1000W versions, making them highly cost-effective to operate and providing all the light needed combined with reductions in emissions.

In addition to the quality of light produced, low CO2 emissions and running costs, Ecolites are also said to be the quietest engine powered lighting towers in the world with noise levels between 83 and 86 dBa LWA, depending on specification and, to ensure maximum on-site safety, they cannot be moved without lowering the mast first.
