Whatever the quantity of floodlights required, configurations are always logical, making project planning as simple as possible for both consultants and engineers.
Floodlight cables enter the mast through secure cable glands. Installation is straightforward, with clear assembly instructions included.
All headframe and ladder systems incorporate a security fall-arrest cable, in conformity with EN353-1 and EN353-2.

Control gear and protection equipment
Most of the time, control gear and electrical protection equipment is mounted in cabinets at or near the mast base. If space is limited, however, or you’d rather preserve the clean, straight lines of your mast, we can increase the dimensions of its base and conceal the equipment and access ladder inside (up to a limit of around 60 2kW floodlights).
Bespoke designs
Abacus offer bespoke design solutions to suit every customers’ need. Lighting structures need not be an eyesore but rather an elegant example of modern design.
