Coinford ProRXM Solar Tower Light Fleet from Prolectric

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, customizing 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 161 tons of CO₂ 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 refueling costs, significantly reducing operational expenses compared to diesel alternatives.

Carbon Reduction

Each ProRXM tower prevents up to 1.5 tons of CO₂emissions 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 customizations that set them apart in the marketplace. This partnership exemplifies sustainable innovation for construction lighting needs.

What our clients
have to say

A 97% diesel reduction at the first attempt is a great achievement. Saving close to 6,000 litres of diesel is the same as driving a family car at 40 mpg twice around the circumference of the world. It’s also clear where we have learnt the lessons from Llanwern so we can aim to close that small gap. We really want to get to that 100% fuel-free figure by the time of our next challenge, planned for a rail renewal project later in the summer. There’s no doubt these technologies are going to be a complete game-changer and we need to push on to get to a place where using this type of technology is just business as usual.

Ryan Ballinger
Production Manager

Following our extensive engagement with the market to find a solution that was fit for purpose, a partnership developed with Prolectric which has enabled us to create a unique product and solution that matched our requirements and exceeded expectation. The Prolectric team were willing to invest significant time and resource to the project, to understand our specific needs. Additional confidence was then secured during the trial period. We trialled others, but Prolectric gave us the innovation, as well as the assurance and the commitment we needed.

Plant Development Manager

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 plant 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.
