The PLM-18-5X150W-LED Pneumatic Light Tower from Larson Electronics is designed to illuminate large scale work areas and provides operators in demanding environments with an easy to deploy lighting system capable of producing 79,350 lumens of intense and powerful light output.

This LED light tower simplifies setup and deployment with a pneumatically powered mast capable of elevating the 5 LED lamps up to 18 feet in total height. Rather than have to manually elevate the tower using a hand crank or winch as with many other standard light towers, this system is powered by an included 1/3rd horsepower compressor, allowing operators to extend the mast quickly and safely with minimal effort.

A valve located at the bottom of the tower allows easy collapsing and provides a gentle descent that prevents any potential damage from lowering too quickly. The lamp assembly features five 150 watt LED lamps producing a total of 79,350 lumens of light output in a wide flood pattern for uniform coverage of large scale locations.

These industrial grade lights are IP68 waterproof to submersion up to 3 meters, making them impervious to the effects of driving rain or windy and dusty conditions. The lamp housings are formed from extruded aluminum for light weight and high durability, and shatterproof polycarbonate lenses protect the LEDs from damage while resisting scratching or breakage. Each lamp can be independently adjusted, allowing the operator to adjust the output of each lamp to provide most effective coverage possible.

The lamps are attached to the tower via a heavy duty mounting bracket that can be easily removed, allowing users to remove the entire lamp assembly for more compact and safer transport. The lamps are connected to the main harness with waterproof connectors for added durability, and the main harness is routed within the tower mast itself to prevent fraying or damage from rough use.

This light tower can be connected to standard 110-120 VAC power sources such as that provided by standard generators or normal wall outlets, further simplifying operation. The tower can be mounted to trailers, truck beds, or just about any secure flat surface capable of supporting the load using an included mounting plate measuring 12 inches square by ½ inch thick.

This mounting plate is predrilled to accept four ¾ inch bolts, making installation easier and providing plenty of strength for a stable attachment. This LED light tower is ideal for operators who want a powerful yet easy to setup lighting system that can effectively illuminate large locations such as outdoor events, construction sites, and even emergency scenes, without requiring complex setup procedures or several people to deploy.

“The PLM-18-5X150W-LED pneumatic LED light tower is an alternative to conventional crank up metal halide light towers,” said Rob Bresnahan with Magnalight.com. “While the initial cost of acquisition in higher, the total cost of ownership for these is much lower, since the light heads don’t require replacement. Metal halide lights produce a lot of illumination, but are more delicate during transportation and usage that LED light heads that produce similar light output. So if you factor in the cost of maintenance, operators and rental companies alike will see value in using LED light towers.”

Larson Electronics produces a wide range of LED lights, LED light towers, portable LED lights, explosion proof lights and hazardous location LED work lights. The entire Larson Electronics line of industrial grade lighting can be viewed by visiting them on the web at LarsonElectronics.com.

The CyberLock family of access control products allows users to track and control access throughout a facility. The audit trail provided by the lock and key helps water utilities meet Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) security guidelines aimed at protecting watersheds and sources of drinking water.

The CyberLock system includes electronic locks and programmable keys that enable water utilities to control and monitor access to entry gates, chemical feed areas, watersheds, water wells, and other water sources. The electronic locks and keys record openings and unauthorized attempts to gain entry. The detailed audit reports of lock and key activity demonstrate a water utility’s due diligence in securing their physical assets. The system’s email alerts keep management updated so informed decisions can be made when security issues arise.

James Price, Technical Support Professional for the Collier County Water Department, oversees security processes and special projects, implemented CyberLock in order to meet EPA regulations. Price states, “With CyberLock, we can provide substantial proof to the Health Department and EPA that we are diligent in our efforts to secure our facilities and keep the public water supply safe.”

CyberLock, Inc., will be showcasing the CyberLock system of electronic cylinders, smart padlocks, and programmable keys at the AWWA show in Denver, Colorado June 9-12, booth 17013.

This week, Tapbooty, which offers free social games for fun & rewards, announced the launch of its first game, Name That Friend(http://www.Tapbooty.com/games/name-that-friend/). Name That Friend is a social trivia game built on top of Facebook that presents trivia questions to users based on their Facebook friends. The Name That Friend trivia game can be played for free (in “just for fun” mode), or it can be played for rewards & prizes. Since being launched on May 13, 2013, Name That Friend has been played over 50,000 times by more than 5,000 people.

Jonah Lopin, Tapbooty co-founder, noted “We are seeing a lot of users engaging with Name That Friend, and so far they are doing great. Our users are getting about 65% of the questions right these days. Folks with fewer friends have a higher right-answer percentage than folks with a lot of friends, because they tend to know their friends better. We find users are playing Name That Friend over and over again, trying to beat their own records. Our users consistently tell us they are having fun learning facts about their Facebook friends while playing, and they are often surprised at the facts they learn.”

Name That Friend leverages Facebook friend information from 19 different categories, including languages, education, hometown, location, political leanings, work history, and favorite things (books, movies, etc.). John Osborne, Tapbooty co-founder & CTO, commented “We gather a lot of information in real-time from Facebook before crafting each trivia question. We cull through a lot of data for each question in an attempt to create a question that will be engaging for the user, and also be challenging and fun.”

Name That Friend is available on Tapbooty.com, which can be accessed in the browser on iOS devices, and will soon be available on Android as well. Jonah added “In addition to finding us at Tapbooty.com, we hope folks will connect with us on Twitter and Facebook, and on the Tapbooty blog.”
