Lighting Towers

Buy lighting towers – mobile lighting for construction, emergency services and events

Lighting towers are the fastest and most cost-effective way to reliably light large areas without a fixed mains connection. Within minutes the mast is up, the built-in diesel generator is running and the entire site is as bright as day.

At Kipor.org you will find lighting towers with modern LED technology, a built-in generator and a telescopic mast – including our own brand Voltherr with the LED LT1800 (4 × 400 W LED, 160,000 lumens, telescopic mast up to 5.2 m) as well as other models in different power classes.

Honest advice: look at lumens, not watts

In the industry, lighting tower output is often stated in watts – "1,000 W LED" sounds impressive but says little about the actual brightness. What matters is the luminous flux in lumens (lm): the higher the lumen value, the brighter the illumination.

At Kipor.org we tell you the truth: when comparing LED lighting towers, always check the stated lumen figure, not just the wattage. A modern 400 W LED floodlight now delivers 40,000 lumens or more – with an efficiency 4 to 5 times higher than old halogen solutions.

Halogen and metal halide lamps are technically outdated: shorter service life, significantly higher energy consumption, long warm-up times and poorer light quality. We expressly recommend modern LED lighting towers – LED technology is now clearly superior in terms of both running costs and ease of use.

When a lighting tower is the right choice

Construction & civil engineering: extending working hours into the evening, lighting entire civil engineering and road construction sites, night shifts on major projects.

Emergency services & civil protection: rapid illumination of incident scenes for the fire brigade, THW (German Federal Agency for Technical Relief), ambulance services and police – for example at road traffic accidents, floods, major fires or searches for missing persons.

Industry & logistics: lighting for storage yards, ports, transhipment areas and container terminals where there is no fixed lighting infrastructure.

Events: open-air festivals, sporting events, concerts, markets and public viewing areas.

Military & field camps: perimeter and path lighting, illumination of medical, workshop and field kitchen areas, mobile bases without a mains connection.

Voltherr LED LT1800 – our own brand in detail

The Voltherr LED LT1800 is our standard model for mobile lighting on building sites, at emergency scenes and at events:

Light output: 4 × 400 W LED, a total of 160,000 lumens – enough to light several thousand square metres of work area.

Mast: manually extendable telescopic mast up to 5.2 m – the ideal height for even illumination without glare.

Power supply: built-in 5 kW diesel generator for independent operation without a mains connection. Power for the LED floodlights plus spare capacity for other equipment (e.g. tools or radio equipment) right where you need it.

EU compliance: CE-compliant with the Low Voltage, EMC, Machinery, RoHS and Ecodesign Directives – ready for use by businesses and public authorities.

Diesel, battery or hybrid lighting tower?

Diesel lighting towers are the classic solution for long runtimes, high output and continuous use on building sites, emergency operations and in industry. Depending on the model, they deliver 50 to over 100 hours of runtime per tank and can be used almost anywhere.

Battery and hybrid lighting towers combine LED floodlights with battery storage and an optional diesel generator – ideal for areas sensitive to emissions and noise, such as city centres, hospital grounds, residential areas or open-air events with night-time quiet hours. We are also happy to advise you on hybrid and solar versions.

Sizing: how much light does your site need?

The right setup depends on your application. As a rough guide:

Building site / depot: 30 lx minimum illumination – a 160,000-lumen lighting tower typically covers 3,000–5,000 m².

Emergency scene / accident site: 50–100 lx recommended – a smaller area but higher illuminance; one tower is often enough for 1,500–2,500 m².

Sporting event / event: 100–300 lx depending on the application – usually a combination of several lighting towers or towers set up in rows.

We will help you plan the lighting for your specific site – including recommendations on positioning, number of towers and additional accessories.

Mobility and setup

Lighting towers are designed to be transported quickly between sites and set up on location. Trailer-mounted models approved for 80 or 100 km/h can easily be towed by a car or van; compact versions without a trailer are also available for fixed locations.

Stability is ensured by extendable outriggers and – on larger models – additional ground anchors. Most lighting towers are rated for wind loads of approx. 80–110 km/h when raised; in stronger winds the mast must be lowered.

Lighting tower brands at Kipor.org

We stock lighting towers under our own brand Voltherr as well as selected models from other manufacturers. Every model is technically tested by us and adapted to the European market.

For large commercial buyers, emergency service units and industrial customers, we can also configure tailor-made solutions on request – e.g. with modified generator output, different socket configurations, special emergency service equipment or a custom paint finish.
