Two professional lighting masts, built to order with our own fixtures. The fully automatic Sentinel Tower illuminates smaller work sites without a single lumen of nuisance glare. The JEL EXL 12 floods large and deep areas with light using 600,000 lumens.
No standard models in stock: you choose the mast, and our engineers determine the lighting package based on your site and support that with a lighting calculation. Specifications and prices available upon request. In practice, this is also known as mobile lighting or a portable lighting tower; we supply them for construction sites, mining operations, terminals, and infrastructure projects.

120,000 m² above 15 lux from a single tower
Runtime on a single tank of diesel
Sentinel with full cut-off luminaires
The mobile lighting tower market is a cutthroat market, and you can feel it: manual setup in the rain, floodlights that illuminate half the neighborhood, luminaires that become dull after two seasons. We build two towers that take a different approach. The choice between the two is primarily a question about the terrain.
Mine Spec Series, maximum light
For large and deep sites: mining, earthmoving, bulk terminals, infrastructure projects. With 600,000 lumens, it illuminates 120,000 m² above 15 lux, and it has been the market leader in the Australian mining industry for over ten years.
Fully hydraulic, with automatic start/stop and 200 operating hours on a single 240-liter double-walled tank: sixteen 12-hour night shifts without refueling.
600,000 lm from 12 fixtures
10.5 m hydraulic, 340° rotation
Resistant to winds up to 100 km/h
200 operating hours, 240 L tank
Mine-spec: 316L, e-coat, 24 V DC
Mining and earthmoving
transfer terminals
Infrastructure projects
Large construction sites
Asphalt and night work
Sites without power
fully automatic and glare-free
Built for smaller workspaces where light is needed but nuisance is prohibited: inner-city, alongside residences, in nature-sensitive areas. With full cut-off luminaires, no light goes into the sky or the neighborhood.
The mast goes up and down on its own based on the built-in clock; no one has to go there in the morning or evening. Power supply of your choice: mains electricity, battery up to 20 kWh, solar panel, or diesel.
8 m, electrically extendable
41,000 to 332,000 lm
Fully automatic on timer
IP67 / IK08, cuboid base with ballast
Grid power, battery, solar, or diesel
Inner-city construction sites
Along houses and roads
Ecologically sensitive area
Parking and event areas
Site security
Locations without solid food
Some sites are too large and too deep for a standard lighting tower: mining, earthmoving, transshipment terminals, infrastructure projects. For those environments, we are bringing a mobile lighting tower to Europe that has proven itself for more than ten years as the market leader in the Australische mining industry, the toughest lighting market in the world.
This is no construction light on a trailer. This is mining equipment: 600,000 lumens from twelve Shark LED luminaires 320 W, two hundred burning hours on a single tank.
That is sixteen twelve-hour night shifts without refueling, at 1.2 liters per hour. Built to mine-spec level, with 500-hour service intervals and 24/7 support. The first tower is in the Netherlands and can be viewed in the showroom; the EXL 12 is now available to order, optionally in your company color.

Ready for the road, the tower stays under 3,500 kg, so it can be towed by a suitable towing vehicle. What is permitted in your case depends on the towing capacity on the car's registration certificate and your driver's license category; ask us for the weight of your configuration, as options such as the 325-liter tank count towards the total.
The Sentinel Tower is designed for smaller work sites where lighting is needed but disruption is not allowed: in urban areas, along residential streets, and in environmentally sensitive areas. It features the same lighting system that helped the Heddes Bouw win the award for best-performing construction site on the More 1 & 2 project in Leiden.
Completely free of light pollution. With DarkLicht full cut-off luminaires No light goes into the sky or the neighborhood.
Fully automatic, standard. The mast moves up and down automatically based on the built-in clock; no one needs to go there in the morning or evening. Optionally, the software automatically changes the light color: 4000K during working hours, warm 2200K at night.
Custom configuration. From 41,000 to 332,000 lumens, with DarkLicht (glare-free) or Snapper luminaires with far reach optics for maximum light coverage. Illuminates 7,500 to 15,000 m² per mast.
Food of your choice. Standard AC power (1- and 3-phase); available upon request with a battery up to 20 kWh, a solar panel, or a Kubota diesel generator.
Built to last. 8-meter electrically extendable mast, IP67/IK08, compact cube-shaped base with concrete ballast weights, 2-year or 1,500-hour warranty. Camera integration available starting in 2027.
Heddes Bouw won the award for best-performing construction site at More 1 & 2 in Leiden with this light-pollution-free lighting system. View the project.

Are you in doubt? Describe your site and your night work. An engineer will calculate which mast and which lighting package you need, supported by a lighting calculation.
Each mast is built to order with lighting from our own range. You choose the luminaires and the light color; our engineers determine the lens angles and the lighting plan based on your site. We demonstrably make the best choice there, supported by a calculation.
The EXL 12 is available to order in your company color; for the Sentinel Tower, this is possible starting from approximately 20 units. This way, you will soon have a fleet that performs and is recognizably yours.

Is your question not listed? Call 033 785 9809 of ask it via the form; you will receive a response from an engineer within 1 business day.
Yes, both are made to order. The Sentinel Tower is configured and built per order; the first EXL 12 is already in the Netherlands and can be seen in our showroom.
For long-term deployment, rental is possible upon consultation. Contact us to discuss the options for your situation.
If you are working near homes, roads, or nature, the interference-free DarkLicht configuration is the choice. If the light needs to reach deep into a large, open area, you can choose far reach optics or the EXL 12. If in doubt, a single lighting calculation from us will provide the answer.
Because the correct bundle choice depends on pole height, mutual distance, and terrain shape. Our engineers determine this with a lighting calculation, ensuring that every lumen lands on the site instead of next to it.
The machine comes with a 2-year or 1,500-operating-hour warranty. The LED fixtures of the EXL 12 have a 5-year warranty. Additionally, the EXL 12 features 500-hour service intervals and 24/7 support.
Yes. Upon request, we provide lighting calculations and reports in accordance with EN 12464-2 and the NSVV Light Nuisance guideline, which can also be used for your permit.
The full brochure with all specifications of the JEL EXL 12 is available online: download the EXL 12 brochure. The Sentinel Tower is configured per order, so we draw up its specification after a brief conversation about your terrain.
The full specification of the JEL EXL 12 can be found in the EXL 12 brochure. We build Sentinel Tower per order, so describe your site and your night work; we will draw up that specification after a brief conversation.
