What does Beam Control mean?
Beam control refers to Ritelite’s unique lighting design ensuring that all the light that our products produce is directed towards the required playing or work surface rather than being lost into the sky or surrounding area in the most efficient way possible. Beam Controlled lensing considerably reduces any light pollution from the light to the surrounding area, especially important in built up areas or near protected wildlife areas.

How does the Quad Pod K65 reduce light pollution?
The Quad Pod K65 Mobile lighting towers are designed to focus all the light onto the required surface through bespoke lensing and controlled efficiency. This means that light is not wasted into the sky or spilling out onto neighbouring areas. To find out more about how Riteite’s unique beam control concept works please click here.
Can the Quad Pod K65 be used as a semi-permanent installation?
Yes. While fully mobile by design, most large-pitch installations use the K65 in a semi-permanent or seasonal setup, remaining in place throughout the training season.
