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?
Permanent lighting performance from a mobile system with optimised illumination & uniformity
Ritelite’s unique ‘beam controlled’ lensing ensures the Quad Pod K65 focuses all the light exactly where it is needed, delivering high-uniformity light across the entire playing surface. This eliminates bright and dark spots often seen with temporary floodlights giving players an evenly lit area to train and play with excellent light levels.
Minimised light pollution
Many sports applications that a Quad Pod K65 mobile lighting tower is used for are situated close to housing estates or busy roads or 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 spill or light pollution to neighbouring areas by up to 70% compared to traditional lighting tower designs.
High performance, instant, flicker-free LED light for large area floodlighting
From a low 1460W maximum power requirement the Quad Pod K65 delivers up to 266,000 equivalent lumens. For reference, 8 lights optimally light an 11v11 pitch for training or match play to DIN EN 12193. The versatility of these lighting towers enables any training set up to be quickly and easily illuminated – and it can all be done on battery power.
Fast, one-person set up to 6.5M height for match play and training
Safe and simple to postion and deploy on any playing surface, the Quad Pod K65 is incredibly versatile with no tools or planning permission required. Designed to be intuitively safe, the K65 can be rotated to different training areas or set up as a semi-permanent installtion for the training season.
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.
Flexible power options including battery power packs
The Quad Pod K65 runs on lithium batteries, diesel or petrol generators or mains power. When battery powered the K65’s are silent and emission free – perfect for a sports training environment.
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.
MOBILE OR SEMI-PERMANENT?
The Quad Pod K65 redefines possibilities for sports lighting. The smarter alternative to
permanent floodlights, so you can play anytime, anywhere.
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.
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.

* 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
Pre-aimed beam controlled light heads
Enables optimised illumination and uniformity to be achieved immediately on any playing surface. No onsite adjustment needed for sports use but adjustability of the light heads allows the 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 and for semi-permanent installations to safeguard against theft.
Low centre of gravity for safe handling on site
Transport across any terrain for use on any court, pitch or field.
Mains, battery or generator powered
Designed for use with existing power supplier equipment, the Quad Pod K65 can be supplied with 110V or 240V AC & DC input options making it a super flexibile solution.
