You'll need a bit of electrical skill here to add a bit of wire safely.įor two-wheeled carts, simply disconnect the wire that comes out of the ballast and attach a new plug so that the light heads can be connected directly to the power source.Also, you can use dimmable Sunco LED Disk Downlights in this instance.

You've probably replaced one or two of these in your day (see our blog post on the hidden costs of operating a diesel light tower).įor light towers, remove the ballast and connect the wiring from the lights to the wiring that was going into the ballast from the generator. It's almost always located inside the housing of the generator, or on the base of the two-wheeled cart. It's a box-like device that will be wired inline with the electrical cord going to the lights. Wire Around The Old Bulb Ballast so The LED Lights Connect Directly to The Generator Power Source Your qualified electrician can help with this, or we can provide some thoughts. Wire in the cords from the Beacon980 lights into the junction box. Replace Bulb-based Fixtures One-for-One with Lind Equipment LE980LED LightsĪttach the yoke of the LE980LED in exactly the same places where the bulb-based fixtures were attached to the crossbar. Take your existing light fixtures physically off of your light tower right where the yoke meets the crossbar. Remove the light fixture wiring from the junction box that sits at the cross bar. In light level tests between the Beacon980 light and traditional 1000W metal halide lights using the median light output, the Beacon980 lights actually put MORE light onto the work area.Īll this to say you should replace your existing metal halide lights on a one-to-one basis with our Beacon980 lights. Also, all Lind Equipment LED lights are warrantied for three years, and rated for 50,000 hours, which means you never have to change a bulb. They use 80% less energy, are incredibly durable, have no bulbs to break, and maintain their light output over time. Lind Equipment's high efficiency, high powered LED light panels are the opposite of all of those things. On day 1 they will be quite bright, but soon after will only be 60% of their initial output. Additionally, their light output drops off really quickly. These bulbs are inefficient, energy wasting, and very fragile. Traditional light towers and carts run off of 1000W metal halide bulbs. It is designed to put out the same (and over time, more) light output as the traditional 1000W metal halide tower light fixtures, but using 80% less energy. It is used extensively on cranes, in pits, and of course on light towers.

The light head on the Beacon LED Tower is our Beacon980 high-output LED floodlight. We’ve made it easy for you to replace your existing light tower/cart light heads with our state-of-the-art LED light tower heads. We recognize though that you've made a big investment in your existing bulb-based light towers and carts and you'd like to extend their usefulness to you in the post-bulb LED world. We are a lighting company, and are focused on bringing the best in portable lighting to the toughest workplaces.

Our Beacon LED Tower was designed by starting with the lights and then working down. The generator light tower companies were all designed to sell generators and don't have any incentive to move to truly state-of-the-art LED lighting or else the big generators will be obsolete. There really has been no innovation in the light tower industry aside from incremental increases in generator run time and fuel efficiency. Traditional metal-halide bulb-based light towers and two-wheeled carts are everywhere.
