Milestone light to protect turtles on Barrow Island

Developed in response to the pressing need for an environmentally and ecologically-friendly lighting solution, the designed, engineered and made in Australia lighting tower, will be one of several units used by Coates Hire to power construction work on the Gorgon project.
It functions in a way that significantly reduces the threat to endangered flat-head turtles nesting on Barrow Island’s A-class nature reserve – its sodium vapour light emits a softer yellow glow instead of the usual harsh, white light - without compromising site safety or production efficiency.
The lighting tower was officially presented by Allight’s chairman of the board Richard Court, to executive GM of Coates Hire West Marcus Geisler, at a special event in Perth on June 11.
Allight began making mobile lighting towers at a dedicated production facility in Perth more than
20 years ago.
