Description
NOMAD 1 portable solar lighting tower
The NOMAD 1 is a redeployable solar lighting tower on a sand ballast steel base, set up with no crane, concrete or fuel. It is supplied as a tower only, or with a DEFENDER 55 or DEFENDER 70 all in one solar head on a 6.0 m hand winched mast.
The base is placed by forklift and filled on site with locally sourced sand or ore based fill to an engineered ballast schedule. The head is fitted, aimed and serviced at ground level, and when the project moves on the base is emptied and redeployed.
With either head it can meet AS/NZS 1158.3.1:2020 Category P for general illumination, on walking tracks, mining camps, car parks and gates, construction entries, storage yards, events and emergency response. Each site is specified individually. The base and mast carry a 10 year structural warranty, and the head a 5 year complete unit warranty.
Key Features
Three configurations. Tower only, or with a DEFENDER 55 (up to 36 W, 4,558 lm) or DEFENDER 70 (70 W, 14,000 lm) all in one solar head.
Compliant general lighting. AS/NZS 1158.3.1:2020 Category P with either head, designed with reference to AS/NZS 1680.5 and AS/NZS 4282.
No crane or concrete. Forklift placement and locally sourced sand or ore based ballast; concrete is an option for permanent installs.
Ground level everything. A 6.0 m hand winch mast means no work at heights and no EWP.
Engineered for wind. AS/NZS 1170.2, regions A to C on sand ballast and customisable to region D, with a ballast schedule and certification for each site.
Autonomy for the location. 4 to 8+ nights with the DEFENDER 55, or 3 to 5 nights with the DEFENDER 70.
Your own equipment. The tower only option carries up to 92 kg on a 60 mm spigot for cameras, comms, sensors or luminaires.
Ready for emergencies. Deploys from a 40′ HQ container and stores long term on trickle charge.
Easy to ship. 18 assembled per 40′ HQ, or up to 80 knocked down, with the mast fitted by four bolts.
Clean and quiet. No diesel or fuel, and the sand is returned as clean fill when the base moves on.
Technical
(1) Autonomy and recharge are engineered for each site using worst month solar data, and vary with location and season. Green Frog Systems recommends the head, program mode and ballast schedule for each location.
