Speedy Hire has partened with lighting tower manufacturer Ritelite Systems to launch a new sustainable floodlight designed specifically for night time use on construction and rail sites.

Mounted on a tripod with a 360º configuration, the K41 offers up 92,000 lumen light output with a 110V/240V AC 50Hz input, creating more light with less energy input.

The companies said it has been designed to respond to a lack of energy efficient lighting solutions available for the construction sector and minimise light pollution through optimised power efficiency that is capable of achieving extended periods of use on a single battery-powered generator.

The low level of input required, according to the companies, is achieved through automation technologies such as automatic activation and programmable sensors that allow workers to maximise energy efficiency and operational control.

For example, the light can be set to operate at full power for 10 minutes upon activation, then reduce to a lower output (e.g., 10%) for a set duration before switching off entirely.

The unit, which was unveiled at Ticket to Innovate, has been field tested by Speedy Hire through end users and is also exclusively available through the company.

Daryl Doherty, rail director, Speedy Hire, said, “The K41 represents a significant step forward in lighting innovation, designed to meet the sector’s unique needs with greater efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability.

“At Speedy Hire, we are committed to providing and driving cutting-edge, environmentally sustainable solutions for our customers, and we are excited about future innovation to help the sector achieve Net Zero.”

Marcus Batty, managing director, Ritelite Systems, added, “The K41 is a fantastic example of the collaborative work between Speedy Hire and Ritelite to create improved equipment. Our goal was simple: to ‘achieve more from less’- delivering more illuminated work area and greater flexibility of light output, while using less power, less weight & less size. This is not the first product to come from our collaborative approach, and it certainly won’t be the last.”
