How to Choose the Right Light Tower for Your Event
Whether you’re organising a local community festival, night market, outdoor concert, or managing a temporary public space, proper lighting is non-negotiable. It’s not just about visibility — it’s about safety, accessibility, and creating a welcoming atmosphere. For councils and event organisers alike, selecting the right light tower plays a crucial role in event success and public safety compliance.
Why Choose Diesel Trailer-Mounted Light Towers?
Trailer-mounted diesel light towers are the preferred choice for large-scale and high-traffic outdoor events. These robust units are designed to deliver high-performance lighting across broad areas and endure variable environmental conditions.
Key Advantages:
- Maximum Coverage: Powerful illumination ideal for large open spaces like ovals, car parks, staging areas, and event perimeters.
- Long Run Time: Diesel-powered units can operate for 20 to 60+ hours without the need to refuel — essential for overnight or multi-day events.
- Extended Height: Telescopic masts that rise up to 8+ metres provide wide-reaching light with minimal shadows.
Ideal For:
- Large-scale festivals or public events
- Council-run night events in parks or ovals
- Temporary event infrastructure sites
What Councils & Event Planners Should Consider
- Compliance – Ensure your lighting plan meets local safety and accessibility standards, particularly for emergency pathways and exits.
- Run Time Requirements – Consider how long the lights need to stay on (especially overnight).
Lighting isn’t just a functional requirement — it reflects your professionalism, commitment to safety, and the overall quality of the event experience. For councils and organisers, working with the right hire partner can make all the difference in choosing suitable, compliant, and cost-effective lighting solutions tailored to your site.
