100-240V 360° TowerLight site floodlight delivering 84,000lm from a single 600W head at 140 lm/W efficacy, designed for large open construction areas, civil engineering operations, and outdoor sites where diesel tower light output is needed without the noise, fumes, or running cost. The configurable LED panel array distributes light across 360° in a pattern that adjusts to suit different area shapes and hazard positions, and the head connects to up to two additional units when greater combined output is required. IK10 impact rated with an aluminium housing, IP65 weatherproof, and a working temperature range of -20°C to +45°C, it operates through UK winter site conditions without restriction.
Why 84,000lm from a mains LED head changes the calculation on a large site
On a large open construction area or civil engineering site, achieving adequate illumination during night operations or winter early starts typically means hiring a diesel-powered light tower at significant weekly cost. Diesel towers also produce exhaust emissions, create noise that affects coordination and communication on site, and require regular fuel and maintenance checks that add burden to the management team. At 84,000lm from a 600W mains-connected head, this floodlight delivers comparable output to a small diesel tower at a fraction of the running cost, with no fuel, no exhaust, and no engine noise, connected to a 100-240V supply already on site.
Key Features
-
84,000lm at 140 lm/W: The lumen output from a single head is in the same class as a small diesel light tower. Standard portable site tripod lights typically deliver 4,000 to 10,000lm. At 140 lm/W, this is also significantly more efficient than diesel alternatives per unit of output.
-
360° configurable distribution: The LED panels adjust independently, allowing output to be spread across a full 360° arc or concentrated in a tighter directional pattern to suit the shape of the working area. Fixed-beam alternatives cannot adapt to different site layouts.
-
Expandable to 3 heads for 252,000lm combined: Up to two additional heads connect to a single pole position for scaled-up output on larger areas. Each additional head is sold separately. The system grows with the project without requiring a second tripod position.
-
IK10 impact resistance: The maximum rating in the IK standard, indicating the aluminium housing withstands 20 joules of mechanical impact. Significantly more robust than IK07 or IK08 rated site lights and suited to the knocks of plant-active construction environments.
-
Dimmable driver with photocell option: Adjustable light level control allows output to be dialled back when maximum brightness is not required, reducing power draw and heat output. The three-position photocell switch provides Off, automatic dusk-to-dawn, or continuous On operation.
-
-20°C to +45°C working temperature: Covers the full range of UK site conditions through winter groundwork and summer operations without any operational restriction.
-
100-240V universal voltage: Compatible with 100V, 110V site transformer supply, and 230V UK mains without modification. Confirm the supply and ensure the circuit is rated for the 600W load.
-
Class I, earth connection required: This is not a double insulated fitting. An earth connection is mandatory before use. Do not energise without confirming a verified earth is in place.

Who is this for
Site managers and project engineers running large open construction areas, civil engineering operations, or industrial facilities where high-output area illumination is required for night shifts, winter operations, or low-daylight working periods. The 84,000lm output and 360° configurable distribution make this most relevant for large floor plates, open excavations, yards, and infrastructure sites where standard portable tripod lights would require many individual units to achieve comparable coverage.
Typical applications
-
Large open construction floor areas during early starts and winter working hours when daylight is insufficient for safe operation.
-
Civil engineering and groundwork operations on major infrastructure projects requiring high-output illumination across wide open excavation or pavement areas.
-
Night-time concrete pours and critical path operations where continuous high-output lighting across the working area is required.
-
Highways and utilities works on road closures and traffic management schemes requiring illumination of the working area for night crews.
-
Industrial plant shutdowns and maintenance turnarounds where bright, controllable lighting across a large open working area is needed.
-
Large-scale outdoor temporary installations and events requiring high-output portable lighting from a mains supply.
How to use
Step 1: Connect the floodlight head to a suitable tripod using the standard DIN adaptor system. Tighten the thumb screw to lock the head in position and prevent accidental rotation once the general direction of coverage is set.
Step 2: Adjust the angle and spread of each LED panel to cover the required area. For 360° coverage, spread panels evenly around the full arc. For directional coverage, position panels toward the working area.
Step 3: Raise the tripod to the required working height. Keep the floodlight head at a minimum of 1m clear of any combustible objects.
Step 4: Confirm the tripod is stable and fully secured for the prevailing weather and ground conditions on site.
Step 5: Check above and around the tripod position for overhead power cables and infrastructure before connecting to power. Observe all minimum safe distance requirements.
Step 6: Position the heads so they do not direct light toward road users or create glare that distracts or endangers site personnel.
Step 7: Confirm the supply voltage is suitable (100-240V AC, 50/60Hz) and the circuit is rated for the 600W load. Confirm the earth connection is in place. This is a Class I fitting and must not be used without an earth.
Step 8: Connect to the supply. Use the adjustable light level control to set the required output. Set the photocell switch to Off, Photocell (automatic), or On as required.
Common mistakes
-
Using without an earth connection: this is a Class I fitting. An earth is mandatory. Never energise without confirming the earth is in place and verified.
-
Positioning within 1m of combustible materials: a 600W fixture generates significant heat during operation. Maintain the 1m minimum clearance from all combustibles.
-
Not checking for overhead cables before raising the tripod: at full working height on a large site, overhead cables can be within reach. Always check the overhead clearance before deployment.
-
Failing to secure the tripod for site weather conditions: at the combined weight and height of this system, wind loading is a genuine stability risk. Fully extend and lock all legs on firm ground.
Safety
This is a Class I fitting. An earth connection is mandatory before use. Do not operate if the main power cable is damaged; have a competent person carry out any repair before returning to service. Keep the floodlight head at a minimum of 1m from combustible materials. Check for overhead power cables and infrastructure before raising the tripod. Position panels so they do not create glare for road users or site personnel. Do not attempt to repair or modify the unit; any repair must be agreed with the manufacturer before work begins.
Maintenance
Clean the polycarbonate diffuser panels with a dry or lightly damp cloth. Do not use solvents, pressure washers, or abrasive cleaners. Inspect the main power cable and connectors before each deployment. Store in a dry, protected location when not deployed. Do not use the unit if any mechanical damage to the housing or cable is visible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does 84,000lm compare to standard portable site lighting options?
A: Standard portable LED tripod lights for construction sites typically deliver between 4,000 and 10,000lm. A single head of this floodlight delivers eight to twenty times more output from a mains electrical connection. It is in the same output class as a small diesel-powered light tower, without the fuel cost, exhaust emissions, or engine noise. At 140 lm/W, it is also significantly more energy-efficient per unit of output than diesel alternatives.
Q: Can I link multiple heads together for greater coverage?
A: Yes. Up to two additional heads connect to a single pole position, giving a combined output of up to 252,000lm from three linked heads. Each additional head is sold separately. This makes the system scalable for progressively larger site areas without requiring additional tripod positions for each head.
Q: Why is the earth connection essential and what happens if I skip it?
A: This is a Class I fitting. Class I means the protective earth conductor forms part of the electrical safety design. Without an earth, the housing cannot safely dissipate fault current and a live fault on the housing becomes a serious shock hazard to anyone touching the unit. An earth connection is not optional. Confirm a verified earth is in place before energising.
Q: What is this NOT suitable for?
A: This floodlight must not be used without a confirmed earth connection. Do not position within 1m of combustible materials. Do not use if the main power cable is damaged. Do not aim heads toward road users or site personnel in ways that create dangerous glare. The 600W power draw and weight of the unit make it unsuitable for lightweight temporary structures that cannot support the load.
Q: How does the dimmer control work?
A: An adjustable light level control allows output to be varied from the full 84,000lm maximum down to a lower setting. The photocell switch has three positions: Off (light off), Photocell (automatic activation at dusk, deactivation at dawn), and On (continuous operation). Running at reduced output when maximum brightness is not required lowers both power consumption and heat output during extended operations.
Q: What does IK10 mean and why does it matter?
A: IK10 is the highest rating in the IK mechanical impact protection standard, indicating the housing withstands 20 joules of impact. Most site bulkheads and portable lights carry IK07 or IK08. IK10 is significantly more robust against the accidental contact with plant, equipment, and site materials that is routine on an active construction or civil engineering project.
Q: Does this work on a 110V site transformer supply?
A: Yes. The 100-240V universal voltage range covers 110V site transformer supply, UK 230V mains, and voltages in between. No modification is needed. Before connecting, confirm the circuit is rated for the 600W draw and ensure the earth connection is present. This is a Class I fitting requiring an earth regardless of supply voltage.
