Traditional Metal Halide VS LED Mobile Light Tower

Traditional Metal Halide VS LED Mobile Light Tower

Feb 08, 2026
Mobile light tower usually uses two kind of lamps, metal halide lamps and LED lamps. Traditional metal halide are formed by combining metals with halogens, ranging from ionic salts like sodium chloride to covalent compounds and used in high-intensity discharge lamps, producing bright white light for stadiums and constructions, though efficient is 75-100 lumens per watt.
The LED, light emitting diode is today's most energy-efficient and rapidly developing lighting technology, quality LED light bulbs last longer lifespan 50,000+ hours, more durable, and offer comparable
Comparison Metal Halide & LED:

Efficiency: LED towers are highly efficient, often requiring much less power (e.g., 2,700W for LEDs vs 6,000W for metal halide) to illuminate similar or larger areas. This translates to significantly lower fuel consumption and operating costs, despite a higher initial purchase price for LED units.

Quality: LEDs provide brighter, more natural light (higher CRI) with reduced glare and no warm-up/cool-down time. Metal halide bulbs offer high-intensity light but require time to reach full brightness and degrade faster, however, it has an absolute advantage in that during foggy weather, the metal halide lamps can easily disperse the fog and provide normal lighting.

Durability: LEDs are more resistant to shocks and vibrations, making them ideal for harsh construction and mining environments. They last up to 50,000 hours, compared to 15,000 hours for metal halide, drastically reducing maintenance and bulb replacement frequency.

Safety: LED lights produce less heat and provide better, more consistent visibility, enhancing safety for visibility, enhancing safety for workers.

Choose the best Lehui Power® mobile light tower for your sites:

LED lamps are suitable for a long-term projects, remote sites, high-duty cycles, and fuel/maintenance costs reduced , but if site is for a short-term projects with limited budgets where high, immediate intensity is required and lower upfront capital, metal halide lamps is the best choice.
