A construction project relocates itself. What is in the right place today will be in the wrong place in six weeks, and the surrounding area is watching the entire time. We supply lighting calculated per phase, that can move to the next project, and stays within the property boundary, for contractors in construction, infrastructure, and civil engineering.
3 to 5
projects per luminaire, without a single complaint from the neighborhood
Per phase
recalculated and recalculated at each phase transition
Mains, battery, or diesel
the power supply dictates the design, even with grid congestion
HSB Hilversum: the entire work area illuminated from the crane jib, the surrounding neighborhood remains dark
| what we encounter | what did it cost you | what it is about |
|---|---|---|
| Lighting is only adjusted when the first night shift starts | Work lights on tripods that no one has calculated, and no document when asked for | planning and calculation per phase |
| The connection is not there or too small, so the generator is running continuously. | Diesel, noise, and friction with the local community at the worst possible time | power supply and battery setup |
| The local resident is calling the municipality and not you | A clue you cannot do anything with while working | environmental zone and shielding |
| Every phase transition shifts the setup | Someone moves the masts by intuition and afterwards nothing is right anymore | height and bundle per phase |
| Equipment goes to the next project after this one, the lighting often does not | Paying twice for the same work | reusing across projects |
| Design factor | What is going on here | What determines it in the design |
|---|---|---|
| Temporariness | The setup changes per construction phase, lasting from weeks to months in the same location | Movable masts, quick setup and takedown, recalculation at each phase transition |
| Catering on the construction site | A generator or construction site power connection, voltage dips when heavy equipment starts up, and, increasingly, a battery because grid congestion means there is no connection available or the one available is too small | Driver voltage range, protection, distribution across groups, and power consumption per operating hour. For battery systems, we also supply the fixtures in a DC version, eliminating the need for an inverter and the associated losses. |
| Blinding to the outside | Roadside, railway, or residential area construction work, subject to permit conditions and resident complaints | Shielding and direction, environmental zones E0 through E4 with the limit values from Table 4 of EN 12464-2:2024 and CIE 150, supplemented at the national level by the NSVV Light Pollution Guideline 2020, plus a threshold value increase of no more than 15 percent toward the road |
| Mechanical stress | Dust, impacts, transport between locations, and risk of theft | IP and IK rating, mounting, anchoring and locking |
| Height that grows with you | The work surface rises or falls with the work, but the light point height does not automatically | Mast height per phase, bundle width, number of erection points |
| Dark months | The peak is between October and March, in two or three shifts | Estimation of operating hours, energy costs, and generator fuel consumption, and consequently the payback period |
| Wind load on temporary masts | Freestanding masts with limited anchoring on an open site | Flooded area, ballast, and anchoring; height in relation to wind loads |
The guideline values per activity, ranging from 20 lux for earthwork to 300 lux for installation work, are not on this page but on the page concerning that topic. That page also explains why the modified value from the standard almost always applies on a construction site rather than the minimum value.

Background: light pollution and full cut-off and calculate payback period
The 2AXL light mast is available for rent, while the Sentinel Tower and individual fixtures are available for purchase. Fixtures on your own mast or equipment move with you to the next project.
Standard versions come from Nijkerk and are fast; project configurations upon consultation.
Five years complete.
Yes, every setup is calculated in DIALux and tested against the standard.
We provide design, fixtures and supervision; the work itself is done by your own team or your installer.
Send us the nature of the project, the phase you are in, and what is adjacent to it. You will receive a lighting calculation with the guideline values per zone and a layout that you can discuss.
| Response | within 1 working day, by an engineer |
| Lighting calculation | free of charge, per zone |
| Test luminaire | on your own mast, upon request |
| Warranty | 5 years complete, 10 years on the housing with maintenance contract |
