Lighting Large Areas

Ideal solution for lighting large areas

Winch based high mast systems offer the optimum solution for lighting large areas such as industrial or distribution areas, ports, airports, large car parks and motorway interchanges.

Rising to the lighting challenge

The associated high activity levels of such areas reflect the requirement for high lighting levels with the added challenge of minimising the physical intrusion of the lighting scheme on the area whilst providing total control over glare, overspill and upward.

High mast lighting systems present the advantage of large space to height ratios resulting in an optimum lighting scheme from a minimal number of lighting points thus minimising the physical impact of the scheme. Kingfisher Lighting utilise a high performance range of floodlights all of which provide total control over glare, overspill and upward light.

For high mast lighting applications Kingfisher encourage the use of floodlights with a flat glass working elevation to eliminate upward light and provide tight control of overspill. Whilst control of glare is achieved via using selected floodlights with anti-glare baffles to effectively shield the light source from onlookers.

Safety first, maintenance at ground level

Typically access in such active areas is often restricted and unsafe to bring in conventional access platforms, also space is too confined. Hence fixed mast systems or based hinged mast systems are simply not suitable.

The winch mast system offers controlled, effortless  lowering. A lowering head frame suspended by twin cables is coupled to a single or double drum winch system driven by a power tool operated by a remote pendant giving the operator total control of the lowering and at a safe vantage point to monitor progress.

Having lowered the head frame to ground level under complete control, necessary maintenance or electrical testing of the floodlighting system can be carried out at ground level in complete safety.

Having carried out routine maintenance and raised the head frame back into position; the winch system includes a mechanical brake to secure the head frame in position and a latching system on the winch located in the base of the mast act as a fail safe.
