Brightlights - the lighting tower rental specialist based in Essex, were recently approached by a major road contractor to provide a temporary lighting solution for road works close to a major road junction in the South East.

The contractor had a requirement for the lights to operate for extended periods. Particularly to cover an extended weekend period in excess of 80 hours.

Brightlights recommended the use of the Ecolite from Taylor Construction Plant Ltd as the lighting tower that would meet their Client’s requirements with a capability of running in excess of 7 days on one tank of fuel. This is achieved by the use of ceramic discharge lamps providing a consistent level of illumination at a fraction of the running costs. As well as the massive run cost savings the need for expensive weekend call outs for refuelling was eliminated.

Ian Madder-Smith of Brightlights was pleased to be awarded the contract and was delighted with the reaction of his client. Who is not only enjoying the cost savings, but also commented on the improved quality of light provided by the TCP Ecolite’s Ceramic Discharge lamps - giving reduced glare and flicker free light.

TCP continue to look at improvements in the Ecolite and have achieved numerous further benefits for the end user that are available in the Ecolite MkII, which will be available in October 08.

Further reduction in fuel consumption, a new cross arm with gimbal mounted lamps provides for maximum flexibility in lamp alignment, and a robust Rotamolded base are some of the enhancements made.
