Mobile Tower Series – Portable. Powerful, ICAO Compliant.

In fast-changing airside environments, temporary lighting requirements are inevitable. Whether driven by apron expansions, taxiway reconfigurations, emergency situations, or ongoing maintenance, the need for reliable, compliant lighting is constant. Midstream Lighting’s Mobile Tower Series is the definitive solution for delivering ICAO-compliant illumination – quickly, efficiently, and without the need for fixed infrastructure.

At the heart of this solution is our portable mobile lighting mast, purpose-built for demanding airport and large-area lighting applications. Designed to overcome the limitations of traditional lighting systems, it enables rapid deployment with minimal disruption – ensuring airside safety and visibility under even the most challenging conditions.

Delivering superior uniformity, low glare, and precision coverage, each Mobile Tower is fitted with four high-efficiency Master Series M04 450W asymmetric LED floodlights – specifically designed using Midstream’s proprietary optics.

Just two towers are capable of lighting a Code E or Code F aircraft stand to full ICAO compliance, and every unit is supplied with a certifiable lighting design to support regulatory approval.

Lighting Challenges in Infrastructure-Limited Environments

Airports often operate in dynamic conditions where permanent lighting solutions are not practical. Scenarios where a mobile lighting mast proves essential include:

• Apron and taxiway upgrades or reconfigurations
• Terminal expansions and resurfacing works
• Remote apron operations and OLS (Obstacle Limitation Surface) constraints
• Emergency response, disaster relief, and humanitarian missions
• Military and VIP aircraft movements requiring rapid set-up

In each of these cases, conventional installations involving trenching, cabling, and civil engineering are not only costly and disruptive – they’re often simply not viable.

Our Mobile Tower addresses these challenges head-on. With manufacturing lead times as short as 4–6 weeks, it offers an ideal lighting solution for urgent, short-term, or mobile operational needs.
