The LEDP5W-12LT portable light tower from Magnalight.com produces 5,556 lumens and can run for five hours on a single charge of its onboard 33 amp hour AGM sealed lead acid battery. This portable light tower can be charged from standard 115 wall outlets using the included charging unit, or recharged from 12 volt DC power sources such as vehicles and equipment. Operators can also use this unit as an external power source to power 12 volt DC accessories. This portable tower consists of a compact case which houses all components when in the stowed configuration, an aluminum tower that can be extended from 3 to 8 feet in height, and a sealed AGM lead acid deep cycle battery rated at 33 amp hours and 500+ charge cycles. Illumination is provided by a single IP 67 rated 60 watt LED light head producing 5,556 lumens. The LED light head contains 12 five watt LEDs, is constructed of extruded aluminum for durability, and includes a polycarbonate lens to protect the LEDs. The Led light head is adjustable, allowing operators to deploy the unit, extend the tower, and adjust the light head through 270 degrees of vertical movement for optimal light placement. Folding polyethylene legs allow operators to improve tower stability in windy conditions, and when extended provide a larger 30 inch support base. This unit weighs only 37 lbs and is about the size of an average piece of luggage when stowed, making it ideal for operators in construction, utility and first responder applications who require an easily transported and deployed source of illumination.

"The LEDP5W-12LT is a portable, rechargeable LED light tower capable of running for 5 hours on a full charge," said Rob Bresnahan with Larson Electronics' Magnalight.com.  "First responders or construction site workers will find 5500 plus lumens output useful for a temporary light solution for emergency situations.  The telescoping aluminum mast will extend to a maximum of 8 feet and will easily collapse and stow away in the case for easy transport in any work truck."
