Alrouf Lighting Technology successfully supplied high-capacity mobile diesel light towers to the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) Najran Power Plant in 2024. These SASO-compliant, trailer-mounted lighting units provided reliable, continuous illumination for a remote power generation site. All deliverables included full engineering submittals and design calculations, meeting the safety and illumination standards required for large-scale utility infrastructure in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
In 2024, Alrouf Lighting Technology executed a technical supply contract for the Saudi Electricity Company's (SEC) Najran Power Plant — one of the Kingdom's critical utility infrastructure sites. The scope included:
Power plant environments — especially in remote regions like Najran — demand lighting solutions that operate independently of the facility's primary electrical grid. Diesel light towers, also called portable diesel lighting towers or mobile industrial light masts, provide:
This makes them the preferred choice for shutdown maintenance, construction phases, emergency response, and ongoing night operations at utility and oil & gas sites across Saudi Arabia and the GCC.
For projects involving government entities such as SEC, all equipment must comply with applicable KSA regulatory requirements. Alrouf's technical submittals for the Najran project addressed:
Engineering documentation included photometric calculations verifying that light tower placement met the minimum required illumination for safe site operations.
A diesel light tower is a self-contained, mobile lighting unit powered by a diesel generator, used to illuminate large outdoor work areas — including power plants, construction sites, oil fields, and emergency response zones — where grid power is unavailable or unreliable.
Fuel consumption varies by engine size. A typical 6 kW diesel light tower consumes approximately 0.8–1.5 litres per hour, giving runtimes of 60–150 hours per tank depending on capacity.
Yes — equipment supplied for KSA government projects must meet SASO standards. Alrouf provides full technical submittals and compliance documentation for all utility and infrastructure projects.
A diesel light tower runs solely on a diesel generator. A hybrid light tower integrates solar panels and/or battery storage to reduce fuel consumption and emissions, making it suitable for extended deployments where fuel logistics are costly.
Key selection criteria include: required illumination area (lux levels), runtime per tank, mast height, lamp technology (LED vs. metal halide), mobility requirements, and compliance with project-specific standards (SASO, IEC, IES).
Yes. Diesel light towers designed for industrial use are rated for high-ambient-temperature operation (up to 50°C+), making them well-suited for Saudi Arabia's climate. Alrouf specifies units validated for GCC operating conditions.
Look for ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management) and ISO 45001:2018 (Health & Safety) as a minimum, alongside SASO product compliance documentation for the supplied equipment.
Alrouf Lighting Technology successfully executed a technical supply contract for the Saudi Electricity Company’s Najran Power Plant in 2024. The project focused on enhancing site operational readiness through the provision of mobile industrial lighting solutions.
