Light Towers
Light the camp without the noise.
Quiet, wind-anchored lighting for incident base camps. Three tower types, from a low-profile yard light to a 4000-watt self-contained tower that lights several acres on its own.
- Type 1: 12 ft, 250W task light
- Type 2: 15 to 25 ft, 2000W tower
- Type 3: up to 30 ft, 4000W, self-contained
- Quiet, wind-anchored, and mobile
The three types
Three light tower types.
Each type suits a different part of the camp. We match the type, and the number of towers, to the ground that needs light.
Type 1
250 watt yard light
- 12 ft mast
- 110 volt
- Lights a small work zone or entry
- A low-profile task light
Type 2
2000 watt tower
- 15 to 25 ft mast
- 220 volt
- Covers roughly two acres of camp ground
- Runs off base-camp power
Type 3
4000 watt self-contained
- 10 to 30 ft telescoping mast
- Carries its own diesel generator
- Lights roughly five to seven acres
- Towable, no power hookup needed
Getting it to the incident
Towed in, anchored, and lit.
Light towers move with the camp. Here is how they get to the incident and onto the ground that needs them.
- 01
Transport
We tow the light towers to the incident behind our own trucks, ready to position.
- 02
Position
Our crew places each tower where the camp needs light: work zones, walkways, parking, the back of camp.
- 03
Anchor and raise
Leveling jacks and outriggers plant the trailer on a stable base, then the mast goes up and locks.
- 04
Light and relocate
Towers run through the night and move as the operation and the camp footprint shift.
Where a camp needs light
Light where the work is.
A base camp runs around the clock. The towers put light on the ground crews actually use after dark.
Work zones
Bright, even light over the areas where crews are working through the night.
Walkways and paths
Safe footing between quarters, dining, and the rest of the camp.
Parking and staging
Light over vehicle parking, equipment staging, and the camp entrance.
Briefing and muster areas
Lit ground for early-morning briefings and shift changes before dawn.
Supply and equipment yards
Light on the supply cache and equipment so the camp can find what it needs.
Camp perimeter
A lit edge around the camp for safety and orientation after dark.
Powered or self-contained
Some towers run on camp power. One brings its own.
Type 1 and Type 2 towers run off base-camp power, the same WhisperWatt generators that run the rest of the camp. That keeps the camp on one matched power plan.
Type 3 is self-contained. It carries its own diesel generator, so it can light an area away from the camp power, or stand up fast before the main power is set. The mast telescopes up to 30 feet and the trailer anchors on leveling jacks and outriggers so the light holds steady when the weather turns.
Round out the camp
The rest of the camp.
Light is one line. These three complete the base camp.
Questions
Common light tower questions.
How much ground does a light tower cover?
It depends on the type. A Type 2 tower covers roughly two acres of camp ground; a Type 3 self-contained tower lights roughly five to seven acres. A Type 1 is a task light for a small work zone or entry. We match the type, and the count, to the camp.
Do the towers need a separate generator?
Type 1 and Type 2 run off base-camp power. Type 3 is self-contained: it carries its own diesel generator, so it lights an area with no separate power hookup.
Will the towers hold up in wind?
Yes. Each tower is planted on leveling jacks and outriggers before the mast is raised, so it resists wind. In severe weather the mast can be lowered.
Are the towers quiet?
Yes. The towers run quiet, which is part of how Evergreen builds a camp that lets a crew rest. Type 1 and Type 2 add no generator noise of their own at all.
