Why is the QUAD POD K65 the Best Mobile Sports Lighting Tower?
The Quad Pod K65 Mobile Sports Lighting Tower is a highly efficient area floodlighting solution for a wide range of sports applications, helping clubs and organisations across the world carry on playing sport through the darker autumn and winter evenings allowing more players to play for longer. This article explains more about the features and benefits of the Quad Pod K65 and how this makes this product the best mobile sports lighting tower in its class.
WHAT MAKES THE QUAD POD K65 MOBILE SPORTS LIGHTING TOWER THE HIGHEST PERFORMING SPORTS FLOOD LIGHT IN ITS CLASS?
Optimised illumination & uniformity of light
The Quad Pod K65 has been designed using Ritelite’s unique ‘beam controlled’ lensing designed to optimally light the playing surface with high uniformity. This means that the light spreads across the pitch or court avoiding the bright and dark spots commonly experienced from temporary floodlights.
Approximately 70 % lower light pollution than typical lighting tower designs
Many sports applications that a Quad Pod K65 mobile lighting tower is used for are situated close to housing estates or busy roads, on community playing fields or courts. Ritelite’s beam controlled lensing not only optimally lights the court or pitch to efficiently put all the light where it is needed but this focused lensing also reduces light pollution to neighbouring areas by up to 70% making teams using the Quad Pod K65’s much more popular with the neighbours!
High Power, instant, flicker free LED light for large area floodlighting
From a low 1460W maximum power requirement the Quad Pod K65 can give an average of 20 lux over a very large area of 6868m³. This is less than is required for sports applications but gives a great idea of the K65’s uniformity over a large area. Having instant, flicker free light is important for players playing under the lights – a massive improvement from the metal halide lights many teams are still playing under every week.
Rapid safe deployment by one person up to 6.5M height for match play and training
The Quad Pod K65 is very mobile and whilst it weighs over 200kg the unique parallel mast design ensures the centre of gravity is very low with the weight perfectly balanced over the wheels for easy and safe handling even on difficult terrain. It can be set up quickly once in position and is designed to be intuitively safe to use with a range of different user safety features.
Compact to store and transport
The Quad Pod K65, whilst extending to 6.5M at maximum height compacts to under 2M in height, fantastic for storage and transport. It can fit through a standard size door and 8 towers can be stored on a footprint of 3M x 2M.
Powered by diesel generators, mains power or lithium battery powered generators
The Quad Pod K65 can be supplied with either 110V or 240V AC input making it super flexible for whatever power supply is available. When used with a RITE-POWER battery powered generator the K65’s are super silent, fume free – perfect for sports!
180°-360° adjustable light heads to meet all training requirments
Quad Pod K65 can even be used for car park lighting or for other events run by the club or on club grounds.
Designed for use in multiple sports applications
The Quad Pod K65 is designed to be used for players to train on any area and any terrain and can be easily manoeuvred across fields, courts and pitches by one person.
Why do users need a Quad Pod K65 Mobile Lighting Tower
There are a number of different reasons why clubs and organisations are struggling to continue to play and train through the winter and why a mobile lighting tower is the best solution.
The Design of the Quad Pod K65 Mobile Lighting Tower
Designed for Maximum Light on the Playing Surface
The Quad Pod K65 is designed to focus all of the light on the playing surface as efficiently as possible using Ritelite’s unique “beam-controlled lensing”. An impressive 266,000 equivalent lumens is supplied from a low maximum 1460W power consumption.
Ritelite’s bespoke beam controlled lensing designed for sports ensures all the light is directed towards the required surface offering uniform light for training or playing any sport with minimised light pollution and maximising power efficiency.

Designed for any outdoor sports application
* 266,000 lumens when comparing light output to other symmetrical lensed beam pattern products.
Designed for Maximum user safety
Integrated manual winch with automatic safety brake
The slack rope safety system automatically detects when the winch rope is not correctly tensioned and prevents the user from continuing to operate the winch in the mast lowering direction. This helps to protect the user from potentially unsafe operating conditions and also protects the wire rope and winch from damage.
Independently adjustable legs
Rapid to deploy, Independently adjustable legs. Designed to enable maximum stability when deployed on any sports pitch.
Operator level RCBO electrical safety isolation switch
No need to lower mast to turn luminaries on and off. Instant power off should an electrical problem occur.
Automatic mast safety interlock system
Market leading, double pin safety locking system ensures that the mast is automatically and safely mechanically locked in all positions when raising the mast. This system also acts as a “dead man’s handle” for safe lowering of the mast.
Low centre of gravity for safe handling on site
Typical telescopic mast designs do not allow the light heads to be retracted below approx 2m height for transportation and positioning on site. This results in either having to remove the light heads or in a high centre of gravity making positioning and handling difficult and potentially unsafe, especially on uneven surfaces.
Unique parallel mast design
Allows the mast sections to slide past each other and the light head assembly to be fully retracted and stowed at the base of the unit. The centre of gravity is very low with the weight perfectly balanced over the wheels for easy and safe handling even on difficult terrain.
Automatic mast safety and stowage lock
Helps prevent mast from being raised until legs are deployed and secures mast for transport.
Designed for maximum flexibility
Individual, fully adjustable light heads
Allows light to be adjusted to suit any lighting application including a 360 light pattern.
Compact to store and transport
Will fit through standard size door enabling storage in any location. 8 Quad Pod lighting towers can be stored on a footpoot of 3m x 2m
Low pressure footprint
Low pressure footprint with non-marking base. Optimum stability with minimum ground impact. Ideal for deployment on impressionable ground surfaces.
Adjustable, removable wheel kit for transport, storage and security
Easily adjust the wheel kit for increased flexibility when transporting or storing the Quad Pod mobile lighting towers or remove completely when in situ to prevent theft.
Low centre of gravity for safe handling on site
Transport across any terrain for use on any court, pitch or field.
Powered by Mains Power, Petrol / Diesel Generators or RITE-POWER Battery Powered Generators
Designed to be powered by whatever power source is available the Quad Pod K65 can be supplied with either 110V or 240V input making it super flexibile to fit with any existing power system.
