Light Hire

Not every job needs lights you keep. If you need light on a site for a few weeks, a season, or a single weekend, hire it instead.

Who hires from us

  • Construction and groundworks — compounds, walkways and welfare areas through the winter months.
  • Events and festivals — car parks, entrances, footpaths and back-of-house.
  • Temporary works — road and footpath closures, diversions, utility works.
  • Farms and yards — lambing, harvest, and anywhere the work moves before the wiring could follow.
  • Film and production — unit bases and parking on locations with no supply.

Why solar rather than a tower light

A diesel tower light needs fuel, refuelling visits, and somewhere to store the fuel. It runs loud, it smells, and on a site near housing it will generate complaints. Our units are silent, produce nothing at the point of use, and need no supply of any kind.

  • No fuel and no refuelling visits. Nothing to deliver, meter or reconcile at the end of the hire.
  • No generator noise. Suitable for sites next to housing, and for overnight running where a tower light would not be permitted.
  • No cabling and no groundwork. Nothing to trip over and nothing to reinstate afterwards.
  • Moved by two people. Reposition as the job moves rather than booking a plant movement.
  • Dusk to dawn, automatic. Nobody has to be on site to switch anything on or off.

How it works

  1. Tell us the site and the dates. Roughly what area needs covering, how long for, and whether anything needs to be light all night or only on movement.
  2. We spec the units. How many, what output, and where they should sit to cover the area properly. We would rather send the right three than an optimistic two.
  3. Delivered, positioned and collected. You get them working, not dropped at a gate.

Hire terms

Hire is quoted per job, because a fortnight on a compound and a season on a farm track are not the same thing. Tell us what you need and we will price it properly rather than give you a day rate that turns out not to apply.

Buying instead

If the site is permanent, buying is almost always cheaper than hiring past a few months, and there is no running cost afterwards. We will tell you honestly which way round makes sense for your job — including when that means we hire you less.
