Can I recharge as I use the lighting tower?
Yes, if the X Battery is plugged into a suitable mains power supply, the smart charging system comes into operation to recharge the 24V batteries, you are able to use the LED lamps while recharging the Batteries.
- As the battery gets lower, does the light output reduce too?
The individual LED units do not dim as the battery voltage gets lower, but the Battery voltage monitor Gauge will switch off the Power to the LED’s when the Battery voltage reaches the pre-set minimum limit, you should then arrange to re-charge the 24v Batteries. The X-Battery produces 2000sqm of light output. We advise checking the battery levels before starting work in maximise safety.
