A large infrastructure project in Western Canada required a reliable and sustainable lighting solution. Limited daylight during winter and shoulder seasons made consistent lighting critical to maintaining safe and efficient construction operations.
Just a few months into the project, the contractor began experiencing issues with their fleet of conventional metal halide and LED light towers. Frequent refueling was required, which led to several challenges:
Rising fuel costs and growing safety concerns prompted the contractor to seek a more efficient lighting solution.

To reduce costs, lower environmental impact, and improve safety, the contractor replaced their conventional light towers with Solar Hybrid Light Towers from REIC Rentals.
These solar-powered light towers, equipped with a backup diesel generator, eliminated the refueling and maintenance challenges experienced on site.
Capable of operating for 35 days or more without refueling, the solar hybrid light towers significantly reduced service visits. Given the remote project location, this resulted in substantial cost savings through:


Since multiple light towers were deployed across the site, the cost savings quickly added up, resulting in tens of thousands of dollars saved over the course of the project.
Environmental performance was also a key consideration, as the site was located near protected forest areas. REIC Rentals’ clean hybrid technology dramatically reduced emissions, creating a safer environment for both workers and the surrounding ecosystems.
With 83% less engine runtime compared to conventional light towers, REIC Rentals’ solar hybrid light towers significantly lowered the project’s carbon footprint while maintaining dependable performance.
Beyond efficiency and sustainability, REIC Rentals’ solar hybrid light towers offered exceptional convenience. Each unit was quickly deployed, with setup taking only minutes. Intuitive controls and an automatic day/night sensor enabled the towers to turn on and off based on available natural light, eliminating the need for manual operation.
Even during the harshest winter conditions, with temperatures dropping below -40°F and minimal daylight, the light towers performed reliably with no reduction in output.
By switching to Solar Hybrid Light Towers from REIC Rentals, the contractor achieved:
