Nighttime Worksite Lighting

Widershine · Outdoor Aerial Lighting

Light the Worksite.
Keep Night Work Moving.

Bring adjustable light from above to outdoor emergency response, construction, repairs and temporary field operations. A ground-powered tethered aircraft directs illumination down toward the assessed work area, helping crews see the task at hand. Match the operating position and brightness to your site, with ground-based monitoring throughout deployment.

Task-Focused Capabilities

Put light where the work happens

Create an elevated light source for outdoor tasks after dark. Adjustable output, tethered ground power and operator monitoring help you shape the lighting deployment around the work area and changing site needs.

Downward light for ground crews

Four 150 W LED lighting groups provide 600 W total lighting power, directing light downward toward the outdoor task area.

Brightness matched to the task

Adjust output with 0–100% stepless dimming to suit the visibility needed for the work, then reassess as conditions change.

Integrated ground-powered operation

The aircraft and onboard power supply connect to the lighting system’s own integrated ground power unit and cable reel for tethered operation.

Managed ground-to-air connection

A 100 m cable and automatic or manual reel controls support tether management within a planned deployment area.

Outdoor hover support

Automatic hovering and GPS position and altitude hold support positioning above a suitable outdoor worksite under operator supervision.

Monitoring from the ground

A 7-inch ground display, operating indicators and alarm prompts help the operator monitor system status alongside aircraft, cable and worksite conditions.

Tethered Lighting Architecture

Plan the complete ground-to-air lighting arrangement

Select the aircraft, light output and ground support for the site. The lighting system brings together the aircraft, lighting groups, onboard supply and integrated ground power unit with cable reel.

Adjustable light above the work area

Four LED lighting groups provide downward illumination. Ground power, automatic or manual cable management, a 7-inch display and alarm indicators support operator monitoring of the deployment.

Operating Workflow

From task definition to a planned deployment

Prepare the aircraft and site support around the actual work. Use trained operators, agreed task boundaries and a practical recovery procedure.

  1. Step 01

    Define the work area

    Identify the task, crew positions and visibility needs. Select a proposed lighting position and ground-unit location that fit the worksite layout and keep access routes clear.

  2. Step 02

    Assess the deployment site

    Check weather, overhead obstacles, nearby activity and applicable flight permissions. Confirm suitable outdoor GPS conditions, operating height and a clear launch and recovery area before proceeding.

  3. Step 03

    Prepare power and the tether

    Verify electrical-source compatibility and arrange a safe ground connection. Position the integrated ground unit, inspect the system and establish a cable-management area separated from personnel and vehicle routes.

  4. Step 04

    Raise and adjust the light

    Have trained personnel launch within the assessed operating plan. Choose an appropriate height and adjust brightness, checking visibility at the task area with the ground crew.

  5. Step 05

    Monitor the working conditions

    Watch the aircraft, tether, display and alarms while lighting is in use. Reassess weather, crew movements and visibility, adjusting output or ending operation when conditions require.

  6. Step 06

    Recover and close down safely

    Clear the recovery area and bring the aircraft down under trained operator control. Manage the cable, safely shut down and disconnect power, then inspect and pack the equipment.

Application Planning

Match the approach to your site

These scenarios provide starting points for application planning. Final equipment, access and operating procedures should match the site assessment and required task outputs.

Nighttime Emergency Response

Bring visibility to an outdoor response area.

Support ground teams carrying out nighttime disaster-relief and engineering-response tasks where existing lighting is insufficient. Position downward illumination over the assessed work area, with brightness adjusted to the activity and the deployment coordinated around personnel, access routes and changing conditions.

Construction and Urgent Repairs

Illuminate the task when outdoor repairs continue after dark.

Provide adjustable aerial lighting for road repairs, pipeline maintenance and railway fault-resolution work. Plan the aircraft position and tether route around structures, machinery and crew movements, then check visibility at the repair area as the job progresses.

Temporary Field Operations

Create a temporary light source for outdoor work.

Bring elevated illumination to field work areas and temporary outdoor setup tasks where fixed lighting is unavailable or inadequate. Use an assessed ground-power connection and suitable deployment space, matching the light position and output to the immediate work area.

Configuration & Readiness

Set the operating conditions before launch

Agree the equipment configuration, task boundaries and support arrangements before committing to the operation.

Suitable weather and clear overhead space

Assess weather and operating limits before deployment and throughout use. Choose an outdoor area with suitable GPS conditions and clearance from overhead lines, structures and other obstacles.

Compatible, safely connected ground power

Confirm the available electrical source is compatible with the integrated ground unit. Arrange safe electrical connection, cable routing and shutdown access, with the equipment positioned appropriately for site conditions.

Permissions and a coordinated worksite

Confirm applicable local aviation rules and permissions. Coordinate with the site team to keep launch, tether and recovery areas clear of personnel and vehicles, and select an operating height within site and flight limits.

Trained personnel and a recovery plan

Assign trained flight personnel to operate and monitor the system. Agree on communication, stop conditions and safe recovery arrangements before launch, including how to respond to alarms, changing weather or power interruption.

For trained professional operators. Assess weather, site access, aviation permissions, nearby structures and electrical arrangements before use. The 100 m figure is the lighting system’s cable length; deployment height must be selected for the actual site and operating conditions.
