Challenges in lighting Tower cranes and the construction site

LED tower crane lighting plays a crucial role in the construction industry, especially on large-scale projects. Lighting these cranes is not just for the crane operator; LED tower crane lighting can also be used as overall workshop lighting from great heights. Doing this properly presents unique challenges:

  • Extreme Weather Conditions: Tower cranes are exposed to rain, wind, dust and impact during assembly.
  • Safety and Visibility: Sufficient and even lighting is crucial for safe working conditions and accident prevention. Thus, from the EN 12464-2 obliged to illuminate around the tower crane at least with 50lux.
  • Light nuisance and Environmental rules: In densely built-up or nature-sensitive areas, it is important to minimise light pollution. As a company, you are liable for this.
  • Logistics Complexity: Installation, transport and storage of lighting solutions should be efficient and simple.

  • Durability and Reliability: Proven performance in demanding environments, for 6 years our tower crane lighting has been used on construction sites in Europe, Middle East and America.

Environmentally friendly construction with our lighting

Forward-thinking builders choose our lighting to take maximum account of workplace safety while preventing 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

The 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 colour rendering.

Why is this important for businesses?

  • Worker safety: Sufficient lighting reduces the risk of accidents.
  • Legal compliance: Failure to meet the standard can lead to legal consequences and fines. In addition, you are fully liable in the event of an accident with inadequate lighting.
  • Efficiency and productivity: Good lighting improves visibility, making work more efficient and accurate.
  • Image and reputation: Companies that comply with safety standards and environmental requirements show their commitment to the welfare of their employees and the environment. 
 

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

Advantages 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 Light Reflector Technology™. In combination with amber light 2200K, light pollution is reduced to such an extent that even construction sites along bat routes may be illuminated.
    • Energy savings: High efficiency up to 160 lm/W reduces energy consumption and CO2 emissions, you will save an average of 74% by switching to our LED tower crane lighting.
    • Durable materials: Long service life reduces waste and the need for frequent replacement. With the circular economy in mind, you can return your old conventional light sources to us for a fee.
    • Support in Permit procedures: We can provide you with substantiated advice and reports that demonstrate that your construction project complies with environmental regulations and permit requirements, thus avoiding delays.
