Lighting
Light a tank, tunnel, vault, or open work area with fixtures built for dust, water, and impact rather than a shop shelf. Two power sources cover almost every job. Pneumatic lighting runs on the same compressed air that feeds your tools — the intrinsically safe Texas Pneumatic Pneu-Light puts out roughly 5,500 lumens at 100 psi with no electrical ignition source, so it goes into confined spaces, sewers, and service pits where a corded lamp is not allowed. Electric lighting covers ground instead: an Atlas Copco HiLight tower lights a whole site from one unit. Size an air compressor to the air-driven fixtures, and see the rest of the construction tool line. Free UPS Ground shipping on the Pneu-Light.
Air-Powered Lighting
Air-driven fixtures make light with no electrical circuit at the work face. The Pneu-Light operates anywhere from 40 to 120 psi, needs no lubrication, and is unaffected by moisture in the air line, so a crew can light a vessel, vault, or elevator pit off the same hose running the tools. Its sealed LED engine carries an estimated 10,000 hour life and survives drops that would finish a halogen bulb.
Electric Light Towers
For open ground — road work, laydown yards, night paving — a tower covers far more area per unit than hose-fed lighting. The Atlas Copco HiLight line is built for construction, mining, and event sites. Confirm coverage area, mast height, and how the unit is powered on the product page before you order.
Which One for the Space
Choose by atmosphere, not by lumens. Confined spaces, fuel tanks, sewers, and anywhere that can hold combustible vapor call for air lighting, because there is no wiring or switch to arc. Dry open sites with grid power or a generator are cheaper to light electrically. Tank and vessel crews usually carry both, plus air movers for ventilation.
Running Lights Off Your Compressor
An air light shares the compressor with everything else on the job, so add its demand to the tools already on the line before you size the package. Our air compressor buyer’s guide walks through that math, and air manifolds tie several tools and a light into one supply.
Common Questions
What is an air powered light? A lamp driven by compressed air instead of electricity. The LED head is sealed away from the air path and no current reaches the fixture, so nothing can spark — which is why these are the standard choice for confined space and hazardous atmosphere work.
What lighting can I put in an elevator or service pit? Pit work is a classic air-light application: no extension cord down the shaft, no ignition source near accumulated fuel or hydraulic vapor. See the air-powered fixtures for the pit and keep the compressor topside.
Do you sell jobsite light towers? Yes — electric towers are listed under electric light towers. Tell us the area you need covered and the power available and we will point you at the right unit.
Can I get jobsite lighting parts? Yes. Lamp heads, hose fittings, and service items are handled through our parts and diagrams pages — send the model and serial and we will pull the right diagram.
