A anemometer is available to purchase as an accessory for the Quad Pod K65 to assist with this.
The Quad Pod K65 mobile lighting tower is a temporary lighting solution, so planning permission is not normally required for use on construction and industrial sites. Care should be taken during setup to ensure the lighting is correctly aimed and does not cause glare for road users or spill light onto nearby properties. Site-specific requirements should always be considered where applicable.
Yes. The Quad Pod K65 mobile lighting tower operates across a wide 100–240V input range, making it fully compatible with standard 110V site supplies. Customers should specify the required connector type at the time of ordering to ensure suitability for their site setup.
Beam control refers to Ritelite’s lighting design approach, which focuses light precisely onto the required work area rather than allowing it to spill into the sky or surrounding environment. On a construction site, this means improved lighting efficiency, reduced light pollution, and better visibility where work is being carried out. Beam-controlled lighting helps maximise usable illumination while minimising wasted light.
The Quad Pod K65 mobile lighting tower uses bespoke lensing and beam-controlled optics to direct light precisely onto the required work area. This controlled approach reduces wasted light into the sky and limits light pollution into surrounding areas, helping sites operate more efficiently and responsibly.
