LED mobile lighting tower supplier
AllightSykes has launched a Retro-fit &
Upgrade lifeline to help users of traditional
metal halide towers make the switch
to LED without the trauma of asset
redundancy.
AllightSykes Director of Marketing & Sales,
Paul Sowerby said the success of LED in
mobile lighting applications stems from
the huge efficiency and economy gains it
brings to mining and construction projects
compared with towers which use gas-filled
metal halide lamps.
“More than 10,000 Allight metal halide
lighting towers are operating in mines and
construction and for fleet operators the
evolution of LED risks leaving them with
product for which there could soon be little
or no demand,” Paul said.
“The Retro-fit & Upgrade option means
rental companies and end users can
change to LED even if timing and funding
doesn’t allow them to dispose of their
traditional metal halide units and start
from scratch again. There are four Retro-fit
& Upgrade options and the change-over
can usually be funded from R&M rather
than Capex budgets,” he said.
Powered by a new Perkins two cylinder
500cc water-cooled engine, the Allight
Allight Sykes has a pump range which
has been helping dewater Australian sites
for over 40 years and which has been
designed and built to move millions of
tons of water from mines, quarries, gas
fields and construction sites.
Sykes pumps will:
• Remove the potential contamination
to surrounding water supplies, creeks
and rivers
• Dewater operations quickly and
efficiently to minimise the loss of
production
• Provide expert technical support
for your pump selection and system

Allight LED Retro-fit & Upgrade option combats lighting tower fleet
redundancy nightmare

LED units need refuelling only once every
three weeks. Eight HELLA lamps can be
mounted on a 9m mast, and the 176,424
lumens they produce provides enough
light for many operating areas. They come
with extended 500 hour service intervals
and deliver an 18t annual carbon footprint
reduction compared with standard metal
halide lamps.
“Having been in the mobile lighting
game for over 20 years, we’ve seen new
technologies come and go.
"For many, putting too much risk before
any reward just isn’t commercially viable
and with the launch of our Retro-fit &
Upgrade solution, even those who can’t
afford to adopt LED, can at least let us help
them adapt to it.”
