Atlas Copco has launched its first hybrid light tower, the HiLight BI+ 4, which is set to transform the industry. The innovative light tower incorporates state-of-the-art surface mount device (SMD) LED lighting technology and lithium-ion batteries to provide excellent performance and efficiency. Operators at construction sites, events, mines, emergency applications and rental companies will be able to reduce their carbon footprint and operating costs while improving sustainability levels – both environmentally and in business.
Combining the use of lithium-ion batteries with a low-consumption Stage V diesel engine, the new HiLight BI+ 4 light tower offers users maximum flexibility as it has four operating modes: it can be powered directly from mains electricity, from its lithium-ion batteries, from its diesel engine, or from a hybrid setting to make the most of the energy available.
The HiLight BI+4 hybrid light tower offers superior energy efficiency,reduced emissions, and quiet operation. It features four flexible,high-efficiency operating modes:
In hybrid mode, fuel consumption is as low as 0.29 L/h, with a maximum runtime of up to 614 hours at peak brightness.
In pure battery mode, the dimming function enables up to 19 hoursof continuous operation—a completely green, zero-emission process.It can also be powered by an external mains supply or directly by the diesel engine. These four modes effectively handle diverse application scenarios and site conditions, providing users with a highly flexibleand reliable hybrid lighting solution.
