PRODUCT STATUS: Standard product architecture with model-specific engineering confirmation

1. Product Introduction & Positioning

Columus SMD400SP is a cost-efficient direct-AC SMD LED inflatable light tower designed around a simplified electrical architecture. The LED board is installed in the lighting head and normally operates directly from AC power, reducing component count and cost while retaining instant start and optional two-step power switching.

Series positioning: SP - Standard Pro (Professional / upper-standard). The tower uses premium translucent flame-retardant, uv-resistant composite envelope and is intended for industrial night work, emergency response, rescue, infrastructure, mining, ports, airports, professional event support and film/TV support zones. This model should be selected from required illuminance, work-zone size, tower height, power source, restart behavior, color/flicker needs and environmental conditions rather than lamp wattage alone.

4. Lighting Performance & Application Boundary

For project planning, SMD400SP is estimated to provide a maximum low-level illumination footprint of approximately 5,000 m² at the 1-lux boundary and approximately 1,000 m² at 10 lux. For general orientation, emergency staging and broad work-zone lighting, a more practical 10-20 lux planning range is approximately 500-1,000 m². Applications requiring 50-100 lux or more will cover a much smaller area and should be checked with a project-specific lux layout.

Application boundary: Best where simplified construction and lower cost are more important than advanced dimming, DMX or camera-grade flicker performance.

Recommended Applications

· Construction and roadwork

· Rental fleets and local contractors

· General outdoor temporary area lighting

· Budget-sensitive industrial or municipal work

Representative Application Cases

Case 1. Construction and road work where simple AC operation and low component count are priorities.

Case 2. Rental fleet or local contractor use requiring fast deployment and straightforward on/off operation.

Case 3. General outdoor temporary lighting where advanced DMX or camera-grade flicker performance is not required.

Cases above are representative application scenarios for positioning and selection. They are not claims of a named customer installation unless supported by a separately approved project reference.

5. Customer Value & Selection Guidance

· Instant start

· Simplified direct-AC architecture

· Lower BOM and cost

· Optional two-step power switching

Choose SMD400SP when its led - ac smd behavior, 400 W output class and SP series positioning match the project priorities. If the customer needs different restart behavior, control sophistication, budget level or tower material, compare related Columus models rather than increasing wattage alone.

6. Customization & OEM/ODM Options

· Tower height: 2.0 / 2.5 / 3.0 / 4.0 / 5.0 m project options; 3.0 m and 4.0 m are the most common family configurations.

· Envelope color, logo printing and project identification graphics, subject to material and print-process suitability.

· Input voltage, plug type, cable length, connector arrangement and generator interface for the target market.

· Light-source package: 5000-6500 K standard planning range; other CCT options subject to board availability; color rendering options follow the selected lamp/LED package.

· Protective transport packaging: reinforced export carton, plywood case or reusable flight case depending on project and shipping mode.

· Guy ropes, pegs, sandbags/ballast points, spare envelope, spare electrical parts and extension cables can be supplied as project accessories.

· Optional two-step power switching according to the approved board and model.

Customization is subject to engineering review, component availability, certification scope and final quotation. Drawings, control architecture, logo artwork and special packing may require approval before production.

10. FAQ

Which tower height should I choose?

The family supports 2.0-5.0 m project heights. For SMD400SP, the normal recommendation is 3.0-4.0 m. Final height should be selected from required lux, coverage, wind exposure and transport limits.

How large an area can it illuminate?

The planning reference is up to about 5,000 m² at the very low 1-lux boundary and about 1,000 m² at 10 lux. A more practical 10-20 lux working-zone planning range is about 500-1,000 m². Higher task-light levels reduce the effective area substantially.

Can it run from batteries?

Battery operation is not the standard architecture for this model; ask for a project evaluation if required.

Is the light flicker-free?

Direct-AC boards may exhibit mains-frequency flicker. Not recommended for high-speed filming unless a verified low-flicker board architecture is specifically selected.

Can CCT and CRI be customized?

5000-6500 K standard planning range; other CCT options subject to board availability. Typically Ra >=80 for professional configurations; entry versions may use Ra 70-80 boards. Higher-CRI options are project-dependent. Final availability depends on the selected lamp/LED package.

Is it waterproof and wind resistant?

The system is designed for outdoor temporary use, but the exact IP declaration and permitted wind speed must be confirmed for the approved electrical package, tower height, base and guy-line/anchoring method. Do not treat a legacy value as universal across all 2026 models.

Can our logo be printed on the tower?

Yes. Logo, project identity and selected graphics can be applied to compatible envelope materials. Artwork and print area are confirmed before production.

What are the warranty and lead time?

Reference warranty is 12 months against manufacturing defects from shipment, subject to final quotation/sales contract and exclusions for consumables, lamps, batteries and misuse. Typically 15-25 working days for standard confirmed configurations; customized versions typically 20-35 working days.
