HEIGHT

Dimensions are approximate.

Most LENTRY lights are available on either standard height or XT (extra tall) telescoping poles.

By the way, we call them “polelights” because the light heads do not disconnect from the poles; however, the lights do come out of the light base, for transport and storage separate from the rest of the unit.

On this page, we explain:

• Standard height
• Extra Tall XT height
• Standard and XT shown side by side
• Custom

Standard height polelight separated from the rest of the LENTRY System (650W ABC shown)

STANDARD HEIGHT
“Standard” is our nice way of saying “short”

LENTRY units with standard height polelights stand about 4.5 feet (56 inches) with legs and polelights fully extended.

Standard height lights are often left connected at all times because they are so compact. Lights fold foward, to the side, or over the top to accomodate different storage spaces.

XT HEIGHT
“XT” stands for “eXtra Tall”

LENTRY units with XT polelights stand about 8.5 to 9 feet tall with the legs and polelight fully extended.

With just the legs extended and the polelight down all the way, XT units are still about five and a half feet tall, as shown below.

STANDARD AND XT LIGHTS, SHOWN SIDE-BY-SIDE

LENTRY Units with Dual polelights (two separate telescoping lights held by a dual light base), can show the relative sizes well.

Here are some photos of a LENTRY Unit with the EU2000i generator and Dual 650W ABC polelights, one of each height (standard and XT).

The taller the better for scene lighting (flagger lighting, too). The drawback of taller lights are that they take more storage space. However, the higher the light source, the better for illuminating large areas and greater distances. In their stability (thanks to the legs) even as the lights are raised 9 feet and higher, LENTRY Systems can better illuminate large areas than low-sitting conventional generator sets. The same LENTRY System is shown in both photos at right, with the light aimed directly forward. The light is down in the lower picture and up in the upper picture. With the light down, it is similar in height to that of a standard height unit, showing the difference in light quality between varying heights.

CUSTOM HEIGHT

At right is a custom height LENTRY Unit for a customer in the Oregon DOT who needed lighting for flaggers that was 13 feet high. It has a 650W FRC polelight.

James is 6-2". This unit is crazy tall! We would not recommend extending it to its full height in a windstorm, but it is quite stable because of the LENTRY Legs’ wide footprint.

This unit proved that we are able to customize the height of LENTRY Scene Lighting Units, making them as tall as 13 feet. Lead time is four weeks but the price is not much higher. Please call or email us if you are interested.

This 13-foot light was even tall when it was retracted! It is probably not a good light for those who are vertically challenged!
