Atlas Copco’s new LED HiLight H6+ light towers combine efficiency, performance and reliability with low operational costs, reduced noise levels and safety to provide optimum lighting solutions to the tough and demanding environments typical of the construction, mining, events and rental sectors.
“There is just so much that can be said about this highly efficient, flexible, compact and dynamic light tower,” says David Stanford, business line manager for Atlas Copco Power Technique’s Portable Products. “Let’s start with the heart of the HiLight H6+ unit – its new generation LED floodlights and then move on to its protective HardHat body. Originally designed for residential and commercial use, LED lighting is now fast becoming the preferred lighting solution in the industrial space, largely on account of the numerous value adding benefits delivered by LED technology. Top of the list is the LED floodlights’ ability to efficiently provide optimal light distribution up to a 6 000 m² illumination area with a 20 lux (brightness) average, ensuring a brighter, more productive site and safer job site.”
During the design of the light towers, Atlas Copco kept in mind the main purpose of these units which is to provide high quality lighting after sunset or during inclement weather to improve productivity by extending work hours and creating a safe, comfortable working environment.
Placing its innovation stamp on LED technology, Atlas Copco’s LED light towers feature a very special lens and optic design to specifically suit construction and mining applications. The innovative, fully directional LED lens design influences the quality and distribution of light, maximises the light coverage, ensures even lighting, eliminates shadows, reduces glare that can cause distraction and eye strain and also reduces ‘lighting waste’.
Thanks to Atlas Copco’s ongoing commitment to developing technologies that are both cutting-edge and environmentally considerate, the HiLight H6+ light tower has been designed to provide this bright and efficient lighting while producing zero emissions, using up to 40% less fuel and 5 db(A) lower noise levels.
The light tower’s dimming function on the easy-to-use control panel offers the right luminosity at all times, subsequently extending the autonomy by over 300 hours and providing carbon savings of up to 40%. Delivering 55dBA at 7m, the unit ensures not only a comfortable and safe working environment but also prevents disturbance when used during events or when operating in noise sensitive areas (residential).
