Lighting in a compact package
Marcia Gruver Doyle
Now road and bridge contractors, rental houses and others can fit up to 11 fully-assembled light towers on a standard 48-foot flatbed, allowing easy distribution of lights along long road projects or the ability to take care of multiple-jobsite lighting needs with one load.
Four 1,000-watt metal halide floodlights provide a National Electric Manufacturers Association-defined
6 x 7 beam spread for better light distribution and area coverage. The fixture design with a side-mounted/horizontally positioned bulb in each rectangular floodlight gives broad light distribution of 460 foot-candles. Cast-aluminum fixture housings include a separate reflector that lowers the risk of disruptive light distribution. The small footprint of the floodlights reduces wind load.
A standard 2-inch ball hitch, integrated towbar and DOT full-running light package help ensure safe towing of the light tower A full trailer package comes standard with the unit, equipped with four tie downs, zinc-coated chains, a lighted license plate holder and VIN number.
The LSC units use components used in other Doosan light tower products, including light fixtures, bulbs, winches, outriggers/jacks and the full tower/mass assembly. EW
