The Solar Lighting Tower is self-sufficient, operating without
noise, petrol or ongoing servicing and relies solely on the sun’s
energy (with battery backup). It can be programmed to turn on
and off by light sensor, by timer or manually as required, and
delivers high performance lighting.
Features include: powder coated not painted; long service
life, low maintenance costs; AGM batteries (which offer zero
maintenance); and an actuator to tilt solar panels towards
the sun. The Solar Lighting Tower also comes with a robust
Australian made trailer.
Harnessing the power of the great Aussie sun, the Solar Street
Lights are a cost effective, green alternative to powered street,
pathway and perimeter lighting.
Using 2 x 70W multi-crystalline high efficiency solar panels in
conjunction with 2 x 80AH sealed maintenance free batteries,
the Solar Street Light unit runs its 30W LED lamp from sunset to
sunrise in a fully automated operation.
The Solar Street Light can be used in a variety of applications as a
permanent fixture or as a temporary solution.
After recently having the light certified by a NATA approved
Australian designed and made lighting towers
testing facility, the 30W LED Solar Street Light can be used for both
P3 local area roads and P3 pathway lighting. Further testing has
declared the light water resistant and still fully operable to 4.8m,
making it ideal for low lying flood prone areas, the company said.
Unique features of the Solar Street Light include: complete light set
up – 30W LED Bridgelux chip; operation up to six consecutive days
without sunshine; water proof, anti-theft access door to battery
compartment; self-cleaning lens on light head; easy to install
and assemble; once installed – maintenance free; and no power
required to operate.
The new 4000W ‘Terra Light’ from LDC Equipment is a powerful,
low glare lighting system, mounted on a 9m telescopic hydraulic
mast and powered by a Kubota diesel engine with a 7KVA Linz
generator enclosed in a robust trailer. It offers large area lighting in
a compact mobile format.
The Terra Light uses ‘Refractive Technology’ in the light head to
disperse more of the produced light down to the ground where
it’s needed, rather than wasted into space. The name Terra Light
(Terra meaning ‘Earth’, and Light – meaning ‘Illuminate’) literally
means to ‘Illuminate the Earth’. The controls for the unit include an
automatic 24/7 timer with automatic Sunset/sunrise compensation
or a simple to use manual setting, both with a multitude of safety
interlock features. With a back-lit LCD screen and user friendly
controls, the interface is easy to use.
With a rigid polycarbonate diffuser rather than a balloon, the Terra
Light delivers a more even spread of light to a 360º radius, without
shadows.
The Terra Light simulates as close as possible to real daylight
conditions within a 50m diameter of the tower, offering the ability
for better judgement in work sites, the company said.
Features of the new Terra light include: auto start/stop; Australian
made lamps and head; intelligent user friendly display; sunset
clock; seven day programmable timer (wherever you are on planet
earth); built in fail safe features; auto restart; rigid design (no
balloon); error diagnostics and a 12 month warranty.
