The ALED is a compact area lighting system that uses a purpose-built, tethered unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to optimally position a high-intensity LED array between 40 and 100 feet above a job site, where it can be kept as long as it’s needed.
More than 8,000 square feet of light is cast on the ground, nearly twice as much coverage as traditional towed light towers. Light shines directly down onto the work area without creating glare and shadows that can cause problems for workers, nearby residents, wildlife, and motorists.
The ALED is all-weather and built for rigorous use on construction sites. The light is enclosed in a rugged, person-portable wheeled case that can be positioned wherever lights are needed. Because it can be easily moved and repositioned, it reduces the need for heavy light towers to be placed in spots where they aren’t always needed. The unit weighs 90 pounds and fits easily into vehicles. It can be powered by wall power, smaller portable generators, or a vehicle inverter.
