Service you trust. Equipment you need.
An oil and gas site in Fort McMurray required a dependable lighting solution capable of withstanding extreme winter conditions. With long nights, limited daylight, and freezing temperatures, the site needed consistent illumination while minimizing fuel consumption, labor requirements, and maintenance demands.
To validate performance in real-world conditions, the customer sought a lighting solution that could operate reliably during the coldest and darkest time of the year.

REIC Rentals deployed a Solar Hybrid Light Tower for a one-month demo at the site in December 2022, historically the region’s coldest winter month. Performance data was collected throughout the demo period, covering December 2022 through January 2023.
The unit featured hybrid solar technology and was monitored using DSE remote monitoring, enabling accurate tracking of engine runtime and overall operational efficiency.
During the demo, the Solar Hybrid Light Tower averaged 5.19 engine runtime hours per day, despite operating during the darkest and coldest conditions of the year. Under typical annual conditions, engine runtime is expected to average approximately 3 to 4 hours per day.
Reduced engine runtime led to lower fuel consumption, fewer refuelling requirements, and lower maintenance needs than with conventional light towers.
The demo confirmed that REIC Rentals’ Solar Hybrid Light Towers deliver reliable performance and meaningful operational savings—even in extreme winter environments. With the ability to operate for up to 35 days between refueling, fewer oil changes, and real-time remote monitoring via a GPS-enabled interface, the towers significantly improved uptime and reduced operating costs.
By combining solar energy with a DC generator, REIC Rentals provided an eco-friendly, cost-effective lighting solution well-suited for continuous operations in oil and gas, mining, and construction environments.
