How much area does a light tower cover?
Depending on the tower, up to 7 acres. Light is measured in the amount emitted regardless of the direction, though, so one light tower will not illuminate 7 acres of a jobsite. For a football field, for example, four or more light towers are ideal to allow players enough light to see where they’re going.
