High Output Inflatable Light Tower
Suitable for Nighttime Construction Work, Emergency Lighting and Outdoor Event Illumination
Product Overview
The Columnus Inflatable Light Tower is a portable, heavy-duty lighting system designed for short-term projects. It serves construction sites, emergency zones, and event venues with equal efficiency. Its inflatable mast enables fast deployment and effortless transport while delivering broad and even light distribution suitable for diverse site conditions.
The offering includes two core models: the Standard variant, powered solely by mains electricity, and the XN professional variant, engineered with dual AC/DC input and an integrated battery pack—providing uninterrupted, site-ready illumination whether operating on-grid or in fully off-grid settings.
