Description

NOMAD 1 — portable solar lighting tower

The Green Frog Systems NOMAD 1 portable solar lighting tower brings permanent-grade solar lighting anywhere a forklift can reach. Fit it with the DEFENDER 55 or DEFENDER 70 all-in-one head — LED engine, solar panel, LiFePO4 battery and MPPT controller in one sealed unit — with no cabling or separate gear tray.

The four-section telescopic mast hand-winches to 6.0 m, so the head is installed, cleaned and serviced entirely at ground level. Both light-head variants can meet AS/NZS 1158.3.1:2020 Category P general illumination — P3, P4 and P5.

Place the tower with a forklift, telehandler or loader with forks, then fill the base with locally sourced sand or ore-based fill to the prescribed density and marked fill level per the engineered ballast schedule supplied with each unit. No concrete footings, no grid connection and no fuel. When the job moves, empty the ballast back to site, lower the mast and fork the unit onto the truck.

Three ways to configure the NOMAD 1

NOMAD 1 tower only

An engineered ballast base, hand winch, 6.0 m four-section telescopic tower and 60 mm spigot, with 92 kg mast load capacity. A robust, redeployable platform for emergency services and integrators mounting their own cameras, comms, sensors, sirens or repeaters.

NOMAD 1 + DEFENDER 55

The pathway and amenity configuration, with an all-in-one solar pathway light delivering up to 36 W / 4,558 lm. A 307 Wh LiFePO4 battery provides 4–8+ nights autonomy. Available options include twin PIR motion boost and programmable profiles. Suited to pathways, reserves, amenity and security lighting.

NOMAD 1 + DEFENDER 70

The maximum-light configuration, delivering 70 W / 14,000 lm with 130 Wp integrated solar and a 1,152 Wh LiFePO4 battery. Power scaling and multiple program modes provide 3–5 nights autonomy. Suited to car parks, gates, camps, compounds and events.

Autonomy and recharge times are engineered per site with worst-month solar verification, and will vary by location and season.

Applications

Walking tracks and pathways
Mining camps and villages
Car parks and gates
Construction site entry points
Storage yards and security
Events and festivals
Emergency management and disaster response

Councils can use NOMAD 1 for depot or car park security lighting throughout the year, then redeploy it for festivals, shows and events. Emergency services can store lighting configurations on trickle charge, or use the tower-only configuration to mount their own equipment.

Key Features

All-in-one head. Choose DEFENDER 55 or DEFENDER 70: LED engine, solar panel, LiFePO4 battery and MPPT controller in one sealed unit — no cabling, no separate gear tray. A tower-only configuration is also available for your own equipment.

Compliant general illumination. Both light-head variants can meet AS/NZS 1158.3.1:2020 Category P general illumination — P3, P4 and P5. AS/NZS 1680.5 (outdoor workplace lighting) and AS/NZS 4282 (control of the obtrusive effects of outdoor lighting) form the supporting design basis.

No crane, no concrete. Place with a forklift, telehandler or loader with forks. Fill with locally sourced sand or ore-based fill to the prescribed density and marked fill level per the engineered ballast schedule supplied with each unit. Concrete fill is an option for permanent installations.

Ground-level everything. A 6.0 m hand-winch four-section telescopic mast allows installation, cleaning, servicing and upgrades with no work at heights, no EWP and no tilt zone.

Site-specific wind engineering. Designed to AS/NZS 1170.2 — location dependent, meeting wind regions A–C on sand ballast and customisable to meet region D; engineered ballast schedule and certification documentation supplied per job site.

Autonomy engineered for your location. DEFENDER 70 uses power scaling and multiple program modes to deliver 3–5 nights autonomy. DEFENDER 55 provides 4–8+ nights. Every project ships with a GFS power plan for its location. Autonomy and recharge times are engineered per site with worst-month solar verification, and will vary by location and season.

Built for harsh sites. Hot-dip galvanised steel throughout. DEFENDER 55 is rated IP66 / IK08. DEFENDER 70 has an IP66 fixture, sealed IP68 LED module and IK09 rating.

Emergency-ready. Rapid deployment straight from a 40’HQ container, with long-term storage on trickle charge for lighting configurations.

An asset, not infrastructure. Transport 18 assembled units per 40’HQ container, or up to 80 knock-down. The mast fits on arrival with four bolts. Empty the ballast before transport and redeploy with a local carrier.

No diesel, no fuel. Silent solar lighting with no engine servicing or refuelling contractors.

Nothing left behind. Sand is emptied and returned as clean fill; the galvanised steel base is redeployed or 100% recycled.

Structural warranty. 10 years on the base and mast; DEFENDER head warranty per GFS T&Cs.
