Morris Site Machinery has developed a system of linked lighting to provide greater illumination whilst reducing emissions and saving on fuel costs.
The SMC SL60 Link light is a cost-effective, compact and lightweight way to light up sites with its simple to operate format and daisy chain capabilities. It’s ideal for lighting roadways and larger sites from one power source.
It runs from a mains supply, generator or another lighting tower, such as the SMC SL80 Pallet.
Linking one SL60 Link to an SL80 Pallet produces over 240,000 lumens – a 67% increase – and still has a run time of 108 hours.
Coupling the machines in this way also means a 17% fuel saving, a 17% reduction in CO2 emissions and a 20% saving in service costs based on lumens per hour. It also significantly reduces noise levels.
It is possible to run 24 units at a time from a 22 kVA three-phase generator such as the Denyo Eventa 20.
This would light up an area with 2.3 million lumens and run for 21 hours. The system would reduce CO2 emissions by 60%, save 60% on fuel costs and give an 85% saving in service expenditure. Noise levels would again be significantly reduced, as the SMC SL60 link is completely silent.
