For years, workers have hired electricians to set up temporary site lighting for their job sites. Whether it’s running cable, setting up floodlights, or troubleshooting power, it’s been standard practice to rely on a sparky to get light on site.

But here’s the thing — times (and tech) have changed.

If you're managing a busy site or running multiple projects, waiting around for someone to wire up temporary lighting no longer makes sense. Plus, the costs can add up. There’s a faster, more flexible, and more affordable option: high-performance, plug-and-play lighting you can install easily yourself and reuse on every site.

The Problem with Traditional Temp Lighting

• Scheduling delays – You’re at the mercy of their availability, which can push back timelines.
• Added labour costs – Even a small job means paying a licensed electrician’s hourly rate, which can add up if you manage multiple projects.
• Not reusable – Often hardwired or custom-fit, so you can’t take it with you to the next site.
• Overkill for small jobs – For minor renovations or short timelines, it’s more hassle than it’s worth.

The Smarter Alternative: Plug-In Site Lighting

Our portable user-friendly LED lighting — The Site Light strip — is designed specifically for ease of use on construction sites. These aren’t dodgy DIY setups. They’re professional-grade, IP-rated, fully compliant, and require zero electrical license to install.

You get:

• Bright, even illumination for safe site work
• Easy, versatile installation (hangs or mounts on framing or ceilings)
• Plug-and-play leads — just connect straight to AC240V
• Durable, resilient design built for tough conditions
• Portability – Pack it down, wind it on the compact drum, and take it to the next job
