SLT-1200M Military Light Tower
A Ruggedized Light Tower For Extreme Environments
The SLT-1200M is Solight's ruggedized military light tower, an Arizona-built solar light plant for bases, ranges and expeditionary sites. Units that crews often call a military light cart are usually diesel and need constant fuel and maintenance. The SLT-1200M runs four 100 W LED floods (68,000 lumens) on a 30 ft mast from a 1200+ W solar array and LiFePO4 battery bank. It gives about 20 hours of continuous light on a full charge, sets up in 15 minutes, and fits in a container or on a 463L pallet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the SLT-1200M a military light cart?
It's a towable trailer with a pintle hitch, not a hand cart. It fills the same role as the diesel light carts used on base, with no fuel.
How can it be charged?
By the sun, with optional 240/110 AC plug, NATO slave, wind turbine or backup diesel generator.
Is it built for desert heat and dust?
Yes. It has cooling fans, dust filters, a steel lockable housing and an optional desert tan powder coat.
