Boom LED lighting
it is the place where the tool is working.
Synthetic image.
What has to be lit is not the machine:
it is the place where the tool is working.
It is the positioning that makes the quality of the lighting, not the announced power.
Other names for this tool: boom floodlight, work lamp, excavator-mounted site lighting, LED bar.

What it is for
Right: with the light on the cab, the arm casts a shadow over the bottom of the excavation.
What sets it apart:
mounted on the boom, it follows the tool instead of lighting the landscape.
Computer-generated image.
An excavator working at night, in winter or in underpinning work needs to see the cutting edge of the tool, the bottom of the excavation and the area where people stand.
Floodlights mounted on the boom follow the tool, which lighting fixed on the cab does not do.
The practical issue is glare:
a badly aimed light dazzles the driver by reflection off the bucket, or dazzles the people on the ground and the neighbours.
Good lighting is aimed on the machine, at night, once it is fitted.
A machine floodlight lives in an environment few pieces of equipment can stand. Constant vibration, impacts, pressure washing and swings in temperature get the better of approximate installations.
The weak point is almost never the lamp:
it is the bracket, the cable run and the connector.
On which machine?
LED lighting fits all machines, on the boom, the cab or the upperstructure.
The position of the lights: we calculate it with you for your machine.
What the tool does
The useful luminous flux and the protection rating of each light: we calculate them with you for your machine.
What is needed on the hydraulic side
It runs on the 12 or 24 V on-board electrical system, depending on the machine.
The exact voltage, the permitted range and the power of each light: we calculate them with you for your machine.

Your study sets the exact value for your machine.
Don't have these figures?
A photo of the machine is enough to start.
Have your machine checked.
Tell us when the machine works at night and what has to be seen:
the bottom of the excavation, the tool, or the area around.
And tell us which machine, for the fixing points.
- Your machine Its exact make and model.
- What is fitted What equips the machine today.
- The on-board electrical system Its voltage: 12 or 24 V.
Without these details, the study still begins: we will ask you for them.
Or call 01 84 16 55 49 · our lines are open 7 days a week, from 7h to 22h.

What determines the choice
-
01 — The area to be lit
The bottom of the excavation, the tool, the rear of the machine:
these are not the same floodlights nor the same positions. - 02 — The type of beam Wide for the working area, narrow to reach a long way out.
- 03 — Resistance to vibration and washing It is what decides the real service life.
- 04 — The cable routing Along a boom that moves, it is the sensitive point of the installation.
What is checked before ordering
-
The night work actually carried out
Occasional or regular:
the requirement is not the same. - The fixing points available Without drilling what must not be drilled.
- The electrical capacity of the machine It is checked before adding more consumers.
-
The constraints of the neighbourhood
A night job in a built-up area obeys local rules:
they are asked of the client.
