What Types of Lighting Are There for Construction Sites?

Safety must always be prioritized on construction sites, and lighting is an integral component of these job sites. The right type of lighting will increase construction site safety and security while reducing the risk of injuries or fatalities.

If you're looking for a fast and effective way to protect your employees on your construction site, lighting is the answer—consider any of the following options:

1. Portable Light Towers: Rechargeable LED Work Lights

This common type of lighting can be indispensable for construction sites. They are tall lights that can be placed on tripods or wheels for mobility, and can be as high as 30 feet — with 360-degree rotation. This type of lighting will cover a wider radius, coming in different options like one large light, two smaller lights or a combination of four. Portable light towers will help improve construction site safety and prevent shadows for greater visibility.

2. Balloon Lights: Diffused Illumination, Glare-Free

This type of light has helium or air-inflated covers that light up large areas with diffused light, eliminating glare and shadows for safer work at night. They are easy to use, and their compact size means they can be deployed quickly. Balloon lights are portable, can be mounted onto equipment or vehicles, and run on electricity. They are effective for improving air quality and lowering overall emissions. 

This type of light can also be used with LED bulbs—an environmentally friendly option—and you will enjoy enhanced illumination and sustainability. 

3. High Mast Lights: Semi-Permanent Tall Poles

This kind of light uses a light pole that can be 100 feet tall and supports a luminaire ring with four to eight lights. They are semi-permanent, however, which means they are less portable than the other options.

4. Equipment-Mounted Lights: Magnetic Rechargeable Lights

These lights can be mounted to heavy machines and improve visibility. These are invaluable when working with machines or equipment with small headlights that do not provide sufficient lighting, and can be mounted to stationary items for more ground-level lighting. 

Importance of Sufficient Lumens (Brightness)

Construction sites are busy, and accidents are far too common in these settings. Sufficient brightness will help minimize risks, while improving safety and efficiency. The right type of light will reduce glare and shadows; choose sustainable lights like LEDs. These lights last longer and are more sustainable for our environment and can be reused.
