The nights are closing in, bringing on the annual headache for those employed in infrastructure, construction or technical services: how to work through the darkness. While it’s less than ideal, it’s more than doable. How do you make sure your team can continue working safely and efficiently in low-daylight situations?
Winter working days generally start and finish in the pitch black. This can seriously affect your team’s productivity and safety. Illuminating work areas with lighting towers lets your team get on with their job safely and seamlessly without having to worry about natural light conditions.
The right lighting tower for every job
We offer a range of lighting towers that are ideally suited to different jobs. Static lighting towers are ideal for jobs that require more or less constant lighting in one location. Thanks to their stable, uninterrupted illumination, static lighting towers lend themselves to long-term projects taking place on the same site.
Mobile lighting towers, on the other hand, are the ideal solution for infrastructure projects or jobs that require frequent changes to lighting positioning. Being easily portable, mobile lighting towers are highly adaptable to changing needs, allowing you to illuminate any area at any time.
Save energy
Modern lighting towers come with countless accessories such as timers and light sensors. These save energy while minimising idle lighting and light pollution. While timers let you control when the lighting tower turns on and off, light sensors make sure the lighting turns on only when it gets really dark.
Light saves lives
Lighting plays a key role in workplace health and safety. Poor lighting may lead to fatigue, lower concentration and a greater risk of accidents such as trips and falls. Ultimately, it’s harder to see where you’re going or what you’re doing in the dark. According to the Health and Safety Executive, every workplace should be equipped with indoor and outdoor lighting, as this is key to ensuring your team can do their job properly and safely throughout the year.
Deter trespassers
Thefts from construction sites tend to increase during the dark winter months. There’s nothing worse than arriving in the morning to find your site has been vandalised or your tools stolen. Good lighting coupled with other security measures, such as fencing and camera surveillance, helps to limit your risk. After all, a well-lit construction site significantly increases the chances of prowlers being caught. By securing expensive equipment against theft, you also prevent unplanned downtime.
Reduce your site’s carbon footprint with ECO-label lighting towers
If you (or your client) want to cut your project’s carbon footprint, choosing an energy-efficient lighting tower can be an effective solution. Lighting towers with an ECO label are more energy-efficient than their diesel-engine counterparts. You can choose from low-emissions hybrid towers or towers powered by 100% renewable energy, such as zero-emissions solar lighting towers with dimmers –. ideal for projects in remote areas without an external power supply. And in contrast to generator-powered towers, solar lighting towers produce zero noise.
ECO-label lighting towers can cut your costs as well as your carbon footprint. That’s because these lighting towers feature long-life LED bulbs and consume little to no fuel, helping you to save money in the long run. What’s more, they comply with increasingly tough environmental protection laws and regulations.
