Site Lighting

Learn more about site lighting

Site lighting keeps work areas visible so your team can work safely and productively, whether that's an access route at dusk or an active work zone running into the evening. The right choice comes down to the area, the power supply and how the lights will be used on site.

For localised tasks, a portable worklight or LED worklight gives focused light where you need it. For broader coverage, site floodlighting can spread light across a larger area. If mains power is not in place yet, battery powered worklights or solar site lighting may suit the job. Our branch teams can help narrow down the options for you.

Typical uses

• Temporary site lighting for access routes, walkways and entrances.

• Construction site lighting for active work zones, storage areas and plant areas.

• Worklights for localised tasks where you need focused illumination on the job.

• LED site lighting for dependable site use across longer running periods.

• Battery powered worklights or solar site lighting where mains power is limited or not yet in place.

• Site floodlighting for wider area coverage when a stronger spread of light is needed.

How to choose the right site lighting

• Match the lighting to the area you need to cover, from a small task zone to a wider construction site.

• Check whether you need portable worklights, a standalone LED floodlight or a higher output setup.

• Consider power supply, running hours and whether battery powered or solar options suit the programme.

• Think about mounting height and beam spread so the light reaches the right areas without waste.

• Choose products with the right protection rating for the conditions. For outdoor, dusty or wet sites, check the product specifications and choose a rating that suits the exposure on site.

• Factor in glare control, neighbouring properties and road facing areas when planning the layout.

Before you order

• Confirm the site size, working hours and the areas that need lighting.

• Note the available power supply and whether you need mains, battery or solar options.

• Think about where the lights will go, including entrances, walkways and loading areas.

• Check whether you need temporary site lighting for a short programme or something more fixed for longer use.

• Review product specifications for output, protection rating and compatibility with the job.

• On larger sites, plan for the number of units needed and the coverage each one provides.
