On the smaller end, a unit with four 320 LED floodlights will achieve a lighting area up to 5,000 m<sup>2<\/sup>; at the other end of the scale, a mining unit with six 320 WLED floodlights will light up 7,800 m<sup>2<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MOBI-LIGHT-PIC-02.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MOBI-LIGHT-PIC-02-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8689\" style=\"width:326px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MOBI-LIGHT-PIC-02-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MOBI-LIGHT-PIC-02-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MOBI-LIGHT-PIC-02-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MOBI-LIGHT-PIC-02-1025x1536.jpg 1025w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ben Armitage, Sales Engineer at Pilot Crushtec, explains that safety is a key consideration in the way the company has positioned its offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNot only do you need sufficient lighting for the stationery crushing and screening equipment on a site, but there are typically several pieces of yellow metal equipment such as excavators, trucks and loaders moving around,\u201d says Armitage. \u201cGood lighting is therefore a critical element of the industry\u2019s quest for Zero Harm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He notes that insufficient lighting also affects productivity. Where there is limited visual capacity, operators tend to reduce feed rates to plants \u2013 to avoid the risk of blockages and spillage. This can have a substantial effect on production and the resultant cost of operating the site.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MOBI-LIGHT-PIC-05-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MOBI-LIGHT-PIC-05-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8692\" style=\"width:448px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MOBI-LIGHT-PIC-05-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MOBI-LIGHT-PIC-05-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MOBI-LIGHT-PIC-05-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MOBI-LIGHT-PIC-05-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MOBI-LIGHT-PIC-05-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOther factors that the Mobi Lite tower range considers is the height of our masts,\u201d he continues. \u201cWith our high masts at 8,5 metres, this ensures an increased lighting area while reducing operator fatigue, as the light is high enough to never shine in the operators\u2019 eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The range takes advantage of developments in lighting technology \u2013 away from metal halide and toward light-emitting diode (LED) technology. LED lights offer a much longer lifespan, operate at low voltages and produce less heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis has significant benefits for outdoor site operators,\u201d he says. \u201cLED lights light up the work area instantly and don\u2019t require a cool-down period before the lighting plant can be relocated. These lights also consume less power, saving money especially when on-site power is diesel generated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MOBI-LIGHT-PIC-03.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MOBI-LIGHT-PIC-03-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8690\" style=\"width:288px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MOBI-LIGHT-PIC-03-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MOBI-LIGHT-PIC-03-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MOBI-LIGHT-PIC-03-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.coralynne.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/MOBI-LIGHT-PIC-03-1025x1536.jpg 1025w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Designed for demanding site conditions, the lighting units have a robust steel canopy to house the generating unit and start up panel. This strong structure prevents battery and diesel theft.
