High Mast Lighting

Ground-level maintenance for tower-height fixtures. A base-mounted controller system — unique to TechnoIntel — that cuts high mast downtime and cost, independently validated by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency.

THE PROBLEM
CURRENT STATE

40-Year-Old Lamps, Modern-Day Costs

Almost all high masts still run Sodium / MHL / Mercury high-pressure lamps. These were the right call 40 years ago — today they're power guzzlers, and LED has yet to solve the height and maintenance problem they create.

  • Power Guzzlers — Sodium/MHL/Mercury HP lamps were ideal 40 years ago, now heavy energy consumers
  • LED Isn't the Fix — LED has created tremendous hype, but it is not the solution for high mast
  • Short Replacement Cycles — most records show these lamps need replacement every 6–12 months
  • Costly, Difficult Maintenance — the height of the masts makes servicing difficult and expensive
  • Lost IP65 Protection — once fixtures are opened for lamp replacement, they lose their ingress protection
  • Insects & Dust — commonly cut off light and impair visibility once seals are compromised
  • Frequent Control Failures — controls and ignitors are replaced frequently
  • Heavy Spares Inventory — need to carry a huge stock of spares for regular maintenance
THE OFFERING
BASE-MOUNTED CONTROLLER

Maintenance, Moved to Ground Level

UNIQUE FEATURE OFFERED ONLY BY TECHNOINTEL

A long-distance controller for high mast — patent filing under progress — that removes the single biggest cost driver in high mast maintenance: working at height.

Base-mounted controller cabinet with plug-in modules, installed at ground level
  • No Ring Frame Lowering — no lowering and raising of the ring frame is required for controller replacement
  • Base-Clubbed Controllers — part of the controllers are clubbed and installed at the base of the mast
  • Plug Out & Plug In — maintenance becomes possible entirely at ground level
  • Lower Cost, Less Downtime — the system drastically cuts down costs & downtime
  • Patent Filing In Progress — a genuinely unique feature offered only by TechnoIntel

Fewer Fixtures. More Light.

BUREAU OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY — FIELD STUDY

An 18 × 400W HPSV high mast system was replaced with 8 × 300W electrode-less induction lamps on the same 30-metre tower, and lux readings were taken at 5-metre intervals by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency.

BEE field study comparing 18x400W HPSV lamps against 8x300W induction lamps on a 30m high mast, with lux readings at 5m intervals

Lux values in lux (lx), read at 5m intervals along the ground plane. * Average computed from the 8 readings shown above.

Key Differentiation Observed Post Bringing Induction Lamps
  • Lesser Quantity of Lights — fewer fixtures, lesser energy consumed
  • Higher Lux Emittance Observed — the induction system met or exceeded HPSV lux levels at every measured distance
