In a world where sustainable innovation is no longer a choice but a necessity, Atlas Copco once again leads the way. Our latest additions to the HiLight range – the HiLight MS 4 and HiLight MS 5 – combine solar energy and lithium-ion battery technology in a compact, powerful, and eco-friendly package. These cutting-edge solar light towers are changing the game for industries looking to reduce emissions, noise, and fuel dependency — all without compromising on performance.
Power Meets Portability
The HiLight MS 4 and MS 5 are more than just light towers — they’re mobile energy solutions designed for efficiency and ease. Each model uses Surface Mounted Device (SMD) LED technology to maximise light output while minimising power consumption. With 3x150W LEDs, the MS 4 delivers 3,846 m² of illumination, while the MS 5 ramps that up to 5,278 m² with its 4x150W LEDs.
And it’s not just about brightness — these towers are built to go where others can’t. Whether it’s a construction site at high altitude, a remote mining operation, or a bustling outdoor event, both units are engineered to operate silently and reliably in extreme environments from -20°C to +50°C.
Smart Solar: Efficiency at Its Core
What makes the MS 4 and MS 5 stand out? It’s their intelligent energy management system. The external digital control cubicle gives users access to the ECO Controller, which intelligently optimises energy distribution. A built-in dimming feature extends battery life and light tower autonomy, offering up to 64 hours of operation on a single charge.
Thanks to extendable solar panels, users can quickly align the panels with the sun’s position to harvest the maximum solar yield, significantly improving charge times: from 4 hours for MS 4 and from 5 hours for MS 5. Pending one or two battery options, with zero fuel refills and no external cables, the setup is as simple as it is smart.
Low Maintenance, High Impact
Forget the headaches of diesel light towers — with no fuel provisioning and minimal servicing needs, the HiLight MS range delivers low operational costs and fast ROI. The lithium-ion batteries are maintenance-light and long-lasting, helping to reduce downtime and keep your site running smoothly.
Each unit is housed in a robust HardHat® canopy, designed to protect the internal components and provide easy access for servicing. It’s an all-in-one solution that’s built for longevity and performance.
Sustainability That Shines
With growing pressure to cut emissions, the HiLight MS 4 and MS 5 offer a clear advantage. Each tower can reduce up to 8 tonnes of CO₂ per year compared to traditional diesel lighting. They also operate with zero noise emissions, making them ideal for urban environments or night-time operations where silence matters.
These light towers support your sustainability goals without compromising performance, bringing Atlas Copco’s vision of a cleaner, quieter, and more efficient job site to life.
Illuminate the Future with Atlas Copco
The HiLight MS 4 and MS 5 represent the next step in mobile lighting innovation — a fusion of smart design, powerful performance, and environmental responsibility. Whether you’re managing a construction site, planning an outdoor event, or working off the grid, these solar-powered light towers are ready to meet the challenge.
Small in size. Big on impact. Powered by the sun.
