LENTRY LIGHT SYSTEM NEWS - ARCHIVE
Click here to see more current announcements. Some of our older news that still might help someone, so here it is by topic...
LENTRY System with Fixed Light
LENTRY Power & Light Systems are now available with a 650W fixed light. As opposed to the telescoping Polelights available on other LENTRY Systems, this fixed light connects directly to the generator and does not disconnect without the use of tools. No light base is needed.
[NOTE: The housing of the light has changed since these pictures were taken. Please click here to see the online catalog for a current picture.]

This light utilizes the super-efficient 650W bulb, emitting 25,000 lumens (twice that of comparable 500 watt bulbs). The complete unit costs slightly less than other EU2000i LENTRY models because the light connects directly to the generator and therefore no light base is needed.
The complete unit weighs just 64 pounds. It can retract to as little as 21 inches high and 32 inches deep (figure A) or to less than 28 inches high and less than 28 inches deep (figure B). It stands approximately 44 inches high, from ground to the top of the light. The bulb, or center of the light, is about 38 inches off the ground when the light is up and the legs are extended (figure C).
The light may be aimed up and down along one central plane, but does not telescope up or rotate to either side. Legs allow the entire unit to be repositioned as necessary.
The Honda EU2000i generator is rated to power this light for 8 hours on a 1.1 gallon tank of gas.

This new complete LENTRY unit includes only three parts: A Honda® Eu2000i Generator, LENTRY Legs (also called the Frame), and a 750 Watt Halogen Light which is fixed to the generator. As with all LENTRY models, individual components may be ordered to retrofit to existing generators and their international equivalents.

Universal Upgrade: Single and Dual Light Bases
|
As of Spring 2008, the bracketry that holds the polelights to the frames of all LENTRY Units has been upgraded. Instead of the white t-shaped bracketry that held the polelights fixed before, LENTRY Systems will now have deep, powder-coated brackets with locking handles which allow the polelights to be quickly separated from the frame/generator (as shown below).
This new bracketry is called a light base, and was used originally on extra tall XT polelights. It was such an improvement that we now use them on all LENTRY systems. Existing units can be upgraded easily.
Above: the original, discontinued polelight-to-frame bracketry. |
Below: the new, deep, locking Single Light Base which supports and locks one polelight in front of the generator. Shown here with no polelight in it.
|
Below is a Dual Light Base, which is used to support two polelights at once on Dual LENTRY Units. It holds two lights at the generator’s sides.
|
Customers with existing LENTRY Units can upgrade to the new Light Base.
The Single and Dual Light Bases allow you to detach polelights easily from the complete LENTRY Unit for transport or storage separate from the generator and frame, as shown at right. Click the photo at right to enlare.
You can also switch between different lights or use the polelight off the LENTRY unit for lighting elsewhere (A handy option for making your polelight multipurpose is the new Polelight Truck Mount Option for mounting the light to a wall or compartment. Click here for details.) |

Beam light in all directions! The EU2000i generator will power two of the efficient 650W Telescoping Polelights at once, providing 50,000 lumens of light! The efficient system will run these two lights for several hours on a single 1.1-gallon tank of gas.
Complete LENTRY Units with Dual Lights include the Honda EU2000i generator, the associated LENTRY Frame/Legs, and two 650 watt telescoping polelights. Choose lights with extra tall “XT” poles, standard height poles, or one of each as shown at right.
Polelights disconnect from the frame by simply turning a knob and lifting them out. The whole unit breaks down as shown below (click to enlarge), making it especially easy to transport and store. (For extra functionality, don't forget the option of Truck- or Wall-Mounting the polelights. Click here for more info!)

Polelight Truck-Mount Option Now Available for LENTRY Systems
Click here for a flyer showing this and other LENTRY Options.
Now available: an option for mounting LENTRY® telescoping polelights to the side of your truck, so they serve double-duty while technically “in storage.” With the turn of a knob, the XT polelights on extra tall LENTRY Generator & Light Frames separate from the unit for easy transport and storage. With the new Truck-Mount Option, the polelight may now be stored on the side of the truck or vertically in a compartment. Since the polelight can still telescope up and down, if it’s near an outlet it will also serve as truck-mounted lighting whenever needed. This option is offered with extra tall XT units in mind, but works with standard height systems also (See footnote below). |

The Polelight Truck-Mount Option includes a pair of heavy-duty brackets with quick-connecting rings. The rings attach to the polelights of LENTRY Systems using set screws. The pair of main brackets bolt to the truck or other surface and include plunger mechanisms which grab and hold the rings---and, therefore, the whole polelight---securely in place. Whenever you need your complete LENTRY System, the polelight is convenient to grab and go!
Footnote: *Standard height LENTRY Systems (those that stand about 4.5 feet high with legs and light fully extended) may be easily upgraded, for about $78 plus shipping, to allow quick separation of the polelight from the frame if not already equipped with the appropriate light base. |

LENTRY Portable Generator Lights now available in Extra Tall
LENTRY® GENERATOR & LIGHT FRAMES by Ventry Solutions, Inc. are now available with the option of an extra tall “XT” polelight. All complete LENTRY Systems include:
- a Honda super-quiet generator or GFCI-protected Baldor generator
- a patented, all-terrain tripod LENTRY Frame/Legs
- a locking light base to support the light
- a telescoping, articulated Polelight
|
|
LENTRY Frames and lights may be purchased separately to retrofit, adding all-terrain capabilities to existing Honda EU1000i or EU2000i generators. Standard height LENTRY units stand 4.5 feet high with legs and light fully extended. New, extra tall XT models stand over 8.5 feet tall when fully extended. LENTRY XT units are ideal for illuminating flaggers, scene investigation, disaster recovery and other large-scale lighting tasks in unpredictable terrain.
Ready to carry to remote locations or set up on-the-spot, LENTRY Systems provide quiet, fuel-efficient power and light and are not rendered useless by steep, cluttered, or wet terrain. They offer computer-safe power for running tools and communications equipment as well as light. Units may be set up on hills, in mud, standing water and snow, and straddle obstacles while keeping the generator level and dry. The legs and lights on all LENTRY units retract to fit small storage compartments.
XT polelights retrofit to existing LENTRY systems, with a heavy-duty mounting bracket that allows you to switch back and forth between XT and standard height lights and to store the XT polelight separately from the frame/generator, if desired. LENTRY units can now multi-purpose as truck-mounted lighting as well.
LENTRY Systems provide 21,000 to 42,000 lumens of light for up to 13.5 hours on a single tank, depending on the combination of light and generator chosen. XT polelights may also be purchased separately to retrofit existing LENTRY units.
Either light head (650W or 1500W) are available as XTs. Below are links to the downloads page where you can get additional information.
