Australian worksites will shine brighter than ever, thanks to Atlas Copco’s new BI+4 Lighting Towers, which have recently been released in the country.
The all-new HiLight BI+4 is an innovative and easy-to-use light tower that delivers energy-efficient light coverage to help boost operational productivity, minimise environmental impact and meet stringent safety standards.
It’s the latest model in the HiLight range, which offers a wide variety of choices, so users can choose the right lighting tower for their application.
Atlas Copco supplies to a multiple range of industries with a flexible and dynamic approach to operations, addressing efficiency and safety on site.
Operators can also be assured of the robust build quality and compact size for which Atlas Copco is globally recognised, as well as the company’s innovation stamp on LED technology.
The HiLight BI+4 incorporates state-of-the- art surface mount device (SMD) LED lighting technology and lithium-ion batteries to provide excellent performance and efficiency.
The lenses in the LED light towers have a very special optic designed specifically for the toughest and most demanding conditions.
This fully directional lens design means light coverage is maximised and “lighting waste” reduced.
Combining the use of batteries with a low- consumption Stage V diesel engine, the new HiLight BI+ 4 offers users maximum flexibility as it has four operating modes: it can be powered directly from mains electricity, from its lithium-ion batteries, from its diesel engine, or from a hybrid setting to make the most of the energy available.
These hybrid light towers have a battery autonomy of six hours when operating at their full potential. And, when using their dimming function, they can provide up to 20 hours of silent and emission-free operation with a single charge.
With a battery recharging time of just four hours, the HiLight BI+ 4 can also feature an external power plug as an option.
Introducing the ability to use batteries reduces the use of the engine, which extends the unit’s lifetime and results in a temporary lighting solution with a low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
With a 60 per cent reduction in engine runtime, service intervals are three times longer than light towers that run solely on diesel.
The HiLight BI+ 4 requires minimal maintenance every 1500 hours of lighting, so users can save on costs associated with servicing.
The flexible temporary lighting solution features highly efficient SMD LED floodlights.
Each light tower has four floodlights each providing 150W power to reliably cover 4000m2 with an average of 20 luxes of brightness, ensuring a brighter, safer and more productive site, extending the working days and contributing towards a safe working environment.
Applications
Operators at construction sites, events, mines, emergency applications and rental companies will be able to reduce their carbon footprint and operating costs while improving sustainability levels – both environmentally and in business.
Thanks to the incorporation of a battery, operators can reduce up to seven tonnes of CO2 per unit, per year, compared to traditional diesel-powered light towers.
By optimising their energy consumption, users can reduce their environmental impact and improve their profitability considerably.
