NEW: light tower by CP

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

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

The compact fuel engine uses three times less fuel than many other light towers available, reducing both fuel consumption and emissions by over 70 per cent. When compared to similar products, the CPLB 6 light towers were found to reduce maintenance costs by around a third, due to the extended 500-hour service intervals.
