APD6500 - MOBILE FLOODLIGHT SET

MPower won the contract to produce mobile floodlight sets for the Australian Defence Force after comprehensive testing over ‘cross-country’ terrain including gravel, sand, mud and water crossings.

The mobile floodlight set is mounted on a trailer, and consists of five Spectra 'Turbo' 1000W metal halide lamps on a hydraulically operated aluminum mast with an extended height of 8.5m from the ground. The floodlight set is capable of illuminating an area 100m wide by 150m long with an average light intensity of 6.5 lux or better.

The set is powered by a Hatz 1D81C diesel engine with an MPower brushless alternator and control system that delivers 6.0kVA in the harshest of environmental conditions. There is a 240V auxiliary outlet which can provide up to 10A with one of the five lamps off.

PORTABLE LIGHT ASSEMBLY (PLA)

The portable light assembly (PLA) consists of a single Spectra ‘Turbo’ 1000 W metal halide light mounted on a portable telescopic mast assembly with a tripod base. Power is provided via a ballast and a 50m single phase heavy duty extension cord. When deployed to its full height of 4m the PLA provides an illumination area of 900 m 2 with a light intensity of 5 lux or better.

The PLA can be powered from the generator on the Mobile Flood light set or can be powered by an independent generator with an output of 240V 50Hz and an available output of 5 amps or more.
