Solar Light Tower for Sale: Sunray LTS-160N

The Sunray LTS-160N by National Signal is a pure solar light tower with no diesel engine, no alternator, and no fuel requirements. Four heavy-duty LED fixtures produce up to 109,000 lumens across three selectable brightness settings. A tiltable solar array charges the battery bank during daylight, and touchscreen controls manage automatic on/off scheduling so the unit operates each night without manual intervention after initial setup.

The narrow transport profile of the LTS-160N reduces trailer width relative to standard solar towers, allowing more units per trip and lower per-unit logistics cost on multi-tower deployments.
Spec sheets for the standard LTS-160N and the LTS-160N 1000 Watt Model are available.

How the LTS-160N Solar Charging System Works

The LTS-160N charges exclusively through its tiltable solar array. During daylight, the panels charge the onboard battery bank. At dusk or the scheduled start time, the four LED fixtures activate and draw from stored battery power until the programmed stop time or dawn.

The solar array tilts to 40 degrees and includes easy-to-read meters that display current charge rate during panel orientation at setup. Proper tilt angle and compass direction at deployment are the primary factors in maximizing nightly battery capacity and extending the unit's runtime per day.

When grid access is available, the built-in AC charger with external receptacle allows shore power top-off for pre-deployment preparation or scheduled maintenance charging. For solar irradiance data by region to evaluate site suitability.

Common Applications for Solar Light Towers

The LTS-160N is best suited for sites where eliminating fuel logistics is a priority and daily solar irradiance is sufficient to support the planned nightly runtime. Common deployment types include:

• Highway and roadway construction requiring OSHA 29 CFR 1926.56 illumination minimums (https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1926/1926.56)
• Public works and infrastructure projects in EPA nonattainment areas where diesel emissions must be reduced
• Remote pipeline, utility, and energy sector sites with limited fuel delivery access
• Emergency response and disaster recovery staging
• Outdoor events, festivals, and residential-adjacent work zones where engine-free quiet operation is required
• Military and government installations with fuel logistics constraints
• Extended deployments where reducing total cost of ownership over a long project duration is the primary decision factor

Sites deploying the LTS-160N for area and perimeter lighting commonly combine the tower with traffic control equipment including traffic cones and barricades.

Solar-Only vs. Solar Hybrid vs. Diesel Battery Hybrid: Which Light Tower Is Right for Your Site?

Trans Supply carries three light tower technologies to match different site conditions, fuel logistics, and runtime requirements.

The Sunray LTS-160N is a pure solar unit with no diesel component. Zero fuel cost, zero engine maintenance, and zero emissions per operating shift. The right choice for open, sun-rich environments with consistent daily charging windows and no requirement for weather-independent backup power.

The Sunray LTS-300H is a solar and diesel hybrid. Solar panels provide the primary charge. A diesel generator activates automatically when solar input falls short. The better choice is when daily sunlight is variable, when winter daylight windows are shorter, or when continuous uninterrupted operation must be guaranteed regardless of weather.

The LitePod Pro Li+ is a diesel and LiFePO4 battery hybrid with no solar input. A HATZ Tier 4 Final diesel engine charges the battery on demand. Runtime extends to 1,275 hours per 39-gallon tank in Hybrid ECO mode. The appropriate choice for winter conditions, shaded sites, tunnels, and any deployment where solar charging is unreliable or unavailable.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Sunray LTS-160N Solar Light Tower

How does a solar light tower work?

A solar light tower uses photovoltaic panels to charge an onboard battery bank during daylight. At the scheduled start time or at dusk, LED fixtures activate and draw from stored battery power. On the LTS-160N, programmable scheduling manages the lighting cycle automatically each night after initial setup, with no operator return visit required to start or stop the unit.

How many lumens does the Sunray LTS-160N produce?

The LTS-160N produces up to 109,000 total lumens at full brightness with four LED fixtures set to 160W each. Mid output uses 85W per fixture and low output uses 40W per fixture. Lower settings extend nightly runtime by reducing the rate of battery draw between solar charges.

Does the LTS-160N have a diesel engine or backup generator?

No. The LTS-160N is a pure solar unit with no diesel engine and no hybrid charging backup. It operates entirely on solar-charged battery power. A built-in AC charger with external receptacle provides shore power charging when grid access is available.

What is the transport width of the Sunray LTS-160N?

The LTS-160N has a transport width of 61 inches, narrower than standard solar light towers. This reduces trailer width during transport and increases the number of units that can be moved per trip on multi-tower deployments, lowering logistics cost at scale.

What is the mast height on the LTS-160N?

The mast raises to 236 inches, approximately 19.7 feet, and lowers to 105 inches for transport. The raised height positions the four LED fixtures for wide-area elevated illumination from a single unit position.

Is there a higher-capacity version of the LTS-160N?

Yes. The LTS-160N is available in a standard configuration and a higher-capacity 1000 Watt Model. Spec sheets for both variants are available. Contact Trans Supply to request the spec sheet applicable to your project requirements.

How is the solar panel oriented for maximum daily charging?

The LTS-160N solar array tilts to 40 degrees. Easy-to-read meters on the unit display the current charge rate as the operator adjusts panel angle during setup. Operators orient the panels until the meters indicate peak charging output. Correct panel orientation at deployment is the single most impactful step for maximizing battery capacity before each night's operation.
