Challenges in lighting tower cranes and construction sites

LED tower crane lighting plays a crucial role in the construction sector, especially in large-scale projects. Relieving these cranes is not just for the crane operator; LED tower crane lighting can also be used as general high-bay workshop lighting. Executing this well presents unique challenges:

  • Extreme Weather Conditions Tower cranes are exposed to rain, wind, dust, and impact during assembly.
  • Safety and Visibility: Adequate and uniform lighting is crucial for safe working conditions and accident prevention. For example, from the EN 12464-2 required to illuminate at least 50 lux around the tower crane.
  • Light Pollution and Environmental Regulations In densely built-up or nature-sensitive areas, it is important to minimize light pollution. Your company is liable for this.
  • Logistical Complexity Installation, transport, and storage of lighting solutions must be efficient and simple.

Environmentally conscious building with our lighting

Forward-thinking builders choose our lighting to take maximum account of workplace safety while avoiding nuisance to the environment. This is essential at a time when sustainability and environmentally conscious construction are key.

Importance of EN 12464-2 for safe construction site lighting

Of EN 12464-2 is the European standard for lighting and illumination of outdoor workplaces. This standard specifies the requirements for good lighting on construction sites to ensure the safety and well-being of workers. It sets guidelines for minimum illuminance, uniformity and color rendering.

Why is this important for businesses?

  • Employee safety Adequate lighting reduces the risk of accidents.
  • Legal compliance Failure to comply with the standard can lead to legal consequences and fines. Furthermore, you are fully liable in the event of an accident with insufficient lighting.
  • Efficiency and productivity: Good lighting improves visibility, leading to more efficient and accurate work.
  • Image and reputation: Companies that comply with safety standards and environmental requirements demonstrate their commitment to the well-being of their employees and the environment. 
 

Our lighting solutions are designed to meet the requirements of the European standard EN 12464-2, allowing you to build your projects with confidence.

Benefits of our LED Tower Crane Lighting for the Environment:

    • Protection of Flora and Fauna Our lighting prevents light pollution, protects local ecosystems, and supports biodiversity thanks to its Dark Licht Reflector Technology™. In combination with amber light 2200K, light pollution is reduced to such an extent that construction sites along bat routes may even be illuminated.
    • Energy saving: High yield up to 171 lm/W reduces energy consumption and CO2 emissions, you save an average of 74% by switching to our LED tower crane lighting.
    • Sustainable Materials: Long lifespan reduces waste and the need for frequent replacement. With the circular economy in mind, you can trade in your old conventional light sources with us for a fee.
    • Support in Permit Procedures: We can provide you with well-founded advice and reports with which you can demonstrate that your construction project complies with environmental regulations and permit requirements, thereby preventing delays.
