Mactronic Tower Beam
When the night runs longer than planned
An incident doesn't care about battery levels. The Tower Beam covers both ends: 12,000 lumens as long as power is available, and 45 hours when there is none.
- One person carries and sets it up
- Light from a height of 2.3 m
- 45 hours unplugged
Runtime
From Friday evening to Sunday
In low mode, one battery charge lasts 45 hours, from the start of the operation on Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. The other levels trade runtime for light.

Runtimes per battery charge from the Mactronic PFL0300 manufacturer data sheet. Example start Friday 18:00; the end time is calculated.
Lighting
Enlightenment. The right light at the right moment.
Light adapted flexibly to the incident: choose an operating mode and see how bright and how far the Tower Beam shines and how long the battery lasts. On mains, you dim continuously.
230 V mains
- Light output
- Beam range
- n/a
- Runtime
- no limit
Continuously variable from 0 to 12,000 lumens via the Advanced Dimming System. Mactronic specifies the beam range for the battery levels. On mains, the light output is twice as high as in Boost.
Battery · Boost

The brightest the battery can deliver: for arrival and the initial size-up of the incident scene.
Battery · High
- Light output
- 3,500 lm
- Beam range
- 154 m
- Runtime
- 8 h
Work light for a full shift at the site, without cables across the incident scene.
Battery · Medium
- Light output
- 2,200 lm
- Beam range
- 121 m
- Runtime
- 20 h
Light for the staging area or the cordon: one night and the following day.
Battery · Low

A night in four phases
Each phase needs a different level. The values below are the manufacturer data for exactly that level.
Arriving
Boost · 6,000 lm · 222 m
- Floodlight out of the bag, spread the tripod
- Extend to 2.3 m and clamp
- Turn both heads toward the area
Working
High · 3,500 lm · 8 h
- Fine-tune continuously on mains
- Two directions without repositioning
- IP66 against dust and water jets
Holding out
Medium · 2,200 lm · 20 h
- Power bank charges radio and phone
- Phone holder on the control unit
- Battery swappable during operation
Leaving
Low · 600 lm · 45 h
- Remaining light while clearing up
- Everything back into the HD bag
- 6.3 kg on the shoulder strap
- Applications according to the manufacturer
- Industry
- Construction site
- Fire department
- Ambulance service
Setup
Six steps and the light is on
No tools, no assembly. The sequence is always the same, whether you run on mains or on battery.
-
Set down the bag, take out the light
The Tower Beam comes in an HD transport bag with a shoulder strap. At 6.3 kg including the tripod, one person carries it and sets it up.
-
Spread and align the tripod
The legs fold out from the retracted packed size of 1,070 × 240 × 300 mm and stand freely on any surface.
-
Set the height and clamp it
Using the clamping lever on the tripod, you extend the light up to 2.3 m. The higher the head, the shorter the shadows falling across the work area.
-
Rotate both light heads
The two heads rotate independently. This lets you light two directions without moving the tripod, or focus both on one area.
-
Mains or battery
Insert the battery or hook on the 230 V AC driver. It has a carabiner and hangs from the bracket below the heads instead of lying in the way.
-
In wind: stake it down
Ten ground stakes are included and secure the tripod outdoors, so the extended mast stays upright even in gusts.
Hybrid Power Mode
Two power sources, one unit
The first question at the incident scene: is there power? The Tower Beam covers both cases with one unit.
On mains
230 V from the socket
On mains, the Tower Beam runs with no runtime limit and can be dimmed continuously via the Advanced Dimming System.
12,000 lmcontinuously from 0
- Continuously adjustable from 0 to 12,000 lumens
- 75 W power consumption
- No runtime limit
- AC driver hangs from the bracket by carabiner
Switchable at any time
Mains or battery, the same light
Off-grid
Battery, 98 Wh
Unplugged, the swappable Li-ion battery carries the load. Four levels, from bright and brief to economical and long.
4 to 45 hdepending on level
- Li-ion 24.5 V / 4 Ah, swappable
- 45 hours in low mode
- 6,000 lumens in Boost
- Fully recharged in 3 h 40 min
- Switching
- During operation, no tools
- Power bank
- 2 USB ports + phone holder
- Weight
- 6.3 kg with tripod
All values from the Mactronic PFL0300 manufacturer data sheet. Battery energy calculated: 24.5 V × 4 Ah = 98 Wh.
Comparison
Why from above is better
Vehicle lights and hand lamps remain indispensable. For the work area itself, they do something different from a floodlight on a tripod.
Vehicle lights and hand lamp
- Nachteil: Light from vehicle height: equipment and crews cast long shadows exactly where the work is being done.
- Nachteil: The light cone depends on where the vehicle is. Repositioning means re-parking.
- Nachteil: A hand lamp ties up one hand and only lights where it is pointed.
- Nachteil: Brightness mostly in fixed levels, not continuously adjustable to the incident.
Tower Beam on its tripod
- Vorteil: Two rotating heads at 2.3 m: the light falls onto the area from above instead of from the side.
- Vorteil: Stands freely wherever you need it: 6.3 kg, tripod, ten ground stakes for a secure stand outdoors.
- Vorteil: On mains, continuously from 0 to 12,000 lumens: exactly as much light as the incident demands.
- Vorteil: 45 hours in low mode without any power connection, battery swappable during operation.
- Vorteil: IP66 against dust and water jets, 5-year manufacturer's warranty.
- Vorteil: Power bank with two USB ports and a phone holder right on the control unit.
