Background
Coinford, a prominent groundworks and RC frame contractor in the South East, required a reliable, sustainable lighting solution to support nighttime operations on their construction sites.
After exploring options, they turned to Prolectric to investigate our ProRXM Solar Tower Lights, a solution that aligns with their commitment to operational efficiency and environmental responsibility.
Challenge
Coinford needed robust lighting that met specific lux requirements for task visibility and safety during nighttime work. Additionally, they required year-round functionality in a limited space, demanding a footprint smaller than traditional diesel towers. The lights being deployed also had to align with Coinford’s commitment to best practice and sustainability.
The Solution
Prolectric provided Coinford with a trial of our ProRXM Solar Lighting Tower, customising it along the way to address their unique needs.
Working closely, Coinford and Prolectric developed a series of modifications to the standard setup of the ProRXM Tower Light resulting in the creation of a completely bespoke product for Coinford’s site-specific requirements. The tower’s were modified using our patented adaptive software, tailoring it to provide higher brightness for shorter nighttime operations.
Leveraging ten years of data and built-in adaptive algorithms, the ProRXM adjusts light output based on location, battery levels, and historical data, ensuring maximum efficiency and reliability even in challenging conditions. By switching from diesel to solar powered lighting, Coinford is expected to save over 146,000 kgs of COâ‚‚ per annum on the initial 10 ProRXM units, compared to the most efficient diesel tower light.
Their team received technical training on-site, along with guidance on our Lighting Portal, enabling remote monitoring and management of the lights.
The Result
Switching from diesel lighting to Prolectric’s solar solution delivered substantial benefits:
Cost Savings
Solar lighting eliminated fuel and refuelling costs, significantly reducing operational expenses compared to diesel alternatives.
Carbon Reduction
Each ProRXM tower prevents up to 1.5 tonnes of CO2 emissions monthly, supporting Coinford’s environmental targets.
Health & Safety Improvement
The high-lux, consistent lighting enhances task visibility and site safety, reducing risks associated with nighttime construction.
Prolectric’s ProRXM Solar Lighting Towers allowed Coinford to achieve a cost-effective, environmentally responsible lighting solution with performance and branding customisations that set them apart in the marketplace. This partnership exemplifies sustainable innovation for construction lighting needs.
What our clients have to say
Following extensive market engagement, a partnership with Prolectric enabled us to create a unique solution that matched our requirements and exceeded expectations. The Prolectric team invested significant time and resources to understand our needs. Confidence was secured during the trial period. We trialled others, but Prolectric gave us the innovation, assurance, and commitment we needed.

A 97% diesel reduction at the first attempt is a great achievement. Saving close to 6,000 litres is like driving a family car at 40 mpg twice around the world. It’s clear where we’ve learnt lessons from Llanwern to close that small gap. We want to reach 100% fuel-free by our next rail renewal project. These technologies are a complete game-changer, and we need to get to where this is business as usual.

Having purchased Prolectric’s ProLight’s over the last few years, we couldn’t argue with their expertise and quality of products. Trialling the ProPower, the savings spoke for themselves. Adding the Prolectric solar hybrid generators to our fleet will see us make big steps towards our goal of net zero by 2050. The remote access to the power portal allows us to monitor the performance and run carbon and cost savings reports so we can show our clients the impact of these solar hybrid generators.
