Vert Energy lighting towers

March 2017 Electrical Power & Protection

Vert Energy now distributes mobile LED lighting towers that provide dependable lighting exactly where it is needed, for optimum productivity and enhanced safety.

The flexibility of this range includes various mast options, a specially designed high-wall overhang system and carefully selected light assemblies, for the exact lighting requirements of every project. Components, including lamps and lights, are integrated into the mast design for maximum output reach.

MSLED168K-9 lighting towers, with extra low voltage (DC) are powered by Perkins 2-cylinder water cooled diesel engines. Six 300 W LED low-glare lamps produce 168 000 lumens, with no delay of warm-up or cool down time. Each floodlight provides 28 000 effective lumens after stabilisation. Individually adjustable lamps enable precise focusing of the light.

The total control system encompasses an easy start/stop facility, location tracking and performance monitoring via a notepad or smartphone.

These units have been designed for low maintenance requirements, with 500 hour service intervals. Large doors enable quick and easy service access and the plug-and-play system, with no hard wired components, ensures easy servicing and parts replacement.
