1. What is this item?
Tower lights are high-mounted lighting systems designed to provide wide-area illumination for security, visibility, and safety, particularly in large farms or industrial sites. These lights are typically mounted on towers or poles that can range from 10 meters to 25 meters high and are used for security monitoring, night-time visibility, and to deter trespassing.
2. How is the Quantity Estimated?
• Farm Area Size: Estimate the area that needs to be illuminated, typically based on the size of the perimeter or any security zones.
• Spacing & Height: Depending on the tower height (10m–25m), light spread can vary from 100m to 300m in radius.
• Number of Towers:
o For smaller farms (up to 10 hectares): Typically 2–3 towers can cover the area.
o For larger farms (20 hectares+): Usually 5–7 towers are required.
• Locations: Focus on the farm’s perimeter, key structures, and high-risk areas (like entry points or sensitive zones).
3. What are the Cost Components?
• Tower Structure: Galvanized steel or concrete tower (height 10m–25m)
• Lighting Fixtures: High-power LED floodlights (100W–500W), ensuring wide coverage
• Solar Panels (if off-grid): Solar panels, batteries, and controllers for independent power
• Wiring & Cabling: Electrical cabling for connection to the grid or solar panel systems
• Foundation: Concrete base and installation to secure the tower
• Installation & Labor: Excavation, pole installation, wiring, and testing
• Maintenance: Periodic cleaning of lenses, checking for wiring and battery replacement (for solar models)
4. What are the Going Rates & Per Unit Cost?
• Tower Structure (10m–25m): ₹50,000–₹1,50,000 depending on height and material
• Lighting Fixtures (LED, 100W–500W): ₹20,000–₹50,000 per fixture
• Solar System (optional for off-grid): ₹50,000–₹1,00,000 per tower setup
• Total Setup (per Tower):
o Grid-powered tower light: ₹1,00,000–₹2,00,000
o Solar-powered tower light: ₹1,50,000–₹2,50,000
• Installation Cost: ₹20,000–₹50,000 per tower, depending on complexity
Example: For a 20-hectare farm, estimating 5 tower lights:
• Grid-powered Setup: 5 × ₹1,50,000 ≈ ₹7.5 lakh
• Solar-powered Setup: 5 × ₹2,00,000 ≈ ₹10 lakh
