Chicago Pneumatic’s LED light tower

International construction equipment manufacturer Chicago Pneumatic has unveiled its new ultra-bright LED light tower. The CPLB 6 light tower utilises four 350 W LEDs to provide a lighting efficacy of up to 200lux. By using LEDs rather than conventional halide lights, Chicago Pneumatic says the CPLB 6 light tower is 20% brighter than most standard light towers and can reduce energy use by more than 70%.

International construction equipment manufacturer 5517 Chicago Pneumatic has unveiled its new ultra-bright LED light tower.

The CPLB 6 light tower utilises four 350 W LEDs to provide a lighting efficacy of up to 200lux. By using LEDs rather than conventional halide lights, Chicago Pneumatic says the CPLB 6 light tower is 20% brighter than most standard light towers and can reduce energy use by more than 70%.

Using LED luminaires with special optics, the light tower provides ultra-bright light equivalent to the lighting efficacy of four standard 1,000W halide lights. With a hydraulic mast height of 8m, the new towers are capable of projecting 50lux over 35m away. The improved output ensures run times can be maximised, providing increased work times and greater site visibility and safety.

“By using LEDs in our light tower, Chicago Pneumatic is now able to offer one of the brightest light towers on the market,” says Ignacio Picatoste, spokesperson for Lighting Equipment at Chicago Pneumatic.

“Constructed with rugged reliability in mind, our new towers are robust enough to work in some of the harshest conditions. It can also be easily stored and transported around work sites.”

Designed for ease of use, the light towers are equipped with a portable auto-start controller that allows for simple set-up and scheduled activation times, ensuring that the towers are ready to go at a specific time.
