REPOST:

2023 is here and with it, a new crop of light towers is on the market. As someone who has spent countless hours reviewing and testing out different models, I have to say, the competition is fierce. But after much research and hands-on experience, I have narrowed down the top three contenders for the title of the best light tower of the year.

Milwaukee Rocket Light MSRP: $3,299

First up, we have the Milwaukee Rocket Tower Light, it’s clear that this option is geared towards a specific market – those who need a powerful light source for a short period of time. With a maximum run time of just 3 hours on the battery alone, it’s clear that this light tower is meant for quick set up and tear down, rather than all-night events or extended use. This can be a great choice for construction sites or emergency situations where a bright light is needed for a short period, but for anything longer, you’ll need to keep an eye on the battery life and plan accordingly.

The Milwaukee Rocket Tower Light is a popular choice among construction and event professionals. It boasts a powerful LED light that can reach up to 17,500 lumens, making it a great option for illuminating large outdoor spaces. The tower itself is made of durable aluminum and can reach heights of up to 18 feet, making it a versatile choice for a variety of applications.

One downside of the Milwaukee Rocket Tower Light is it’s not customizable so you’re stuck with the one light head that comes with it.

Overall, the Milwaukee Rocket Tower Light is a solid choice for those in need of a powerful and durable light tower, but it does come with its drawbacks. If you’re looking for a more customizable and energy-efficient option, the Eversun eTower is a better choice.

Eversun Titan eTower MSRP: $2,999

Speaking of the Eversun eTower, let’s talk about it. The eTower is like the little engine that could…but better. Not only does it pack a powerful punch with 200 lumens of light per watt of power draw, it tops out a 40,000 lumens. Thats only 200 watts for those that can’t do great math like me. But it also has a battery life that will have you singing “I’ve got the power” like Snap. With a battery life of up to 24 hours, you’ll be able to light up your event or construction site all night long without having to constantly swap out batteries. And let’s talk about coverage, shall we? At 20 feet, the eTower covers an impressive 8,000 square feet, making it perfect for even the largest of events or construction sites. But don’t just take my word for it, try it out for yourself and see the eTower shine like the star it is.

Generac LINKTower MSRP: $6,699

Last but not least, we have the Generac Link tower. This tower offers a variety of features, including a telescoping mast and multiple light heads.

 In the world of light towers, the Generac Link tower is a well-known player. Its primary selling point is its ability to link multiple towers together to create a larger lighting system. This feature is great for large construction sites or events where a large amount of lighting is needed. However, the Generac Link tower does have its drawbacks. One major issue is its size and weight. It’s not as portable as some other light tower options, making it less convenient for those who need to move it around frequently. Additionally, its fuel-powered engine can be loud and produce emissions, which may not be ideal for certain environments or events. Overall, the Generac Link tower is a solid option for those who need a large and powerful lighting system, but it may not be the best fit for those who prioritize portability and sustainability.

 However, it doesn’t quite measure up to the eTower in terms of customization and overall value.

In conclusion, when it comes to light towers, it’s clear that the Eversun eTower is the clear winner. With its customizable features and capabilities, such as its 4-20 foot carbon fiber telescopic mast and swappable lithium-ion battery packs, it stands head and shoulders above the competition. The Generac Link tower may be a solid choice, but it simply can’t compete with Eversun’s flexibility and longer battery life. As for the Milwaukee Rocket tower light, well let’s just say its battery life is shorter than a middle school relationship. The Eversun eTower is the perfect choice for any situation, whether it’s a construction site or a pickleball tournament. Plus, its battery lasts for days, not hours. So, if you’re in the market for a light tower, don’t waste your time with the competition, go with the Eversun eTower, it’s the clear winner.

WINNER: Eversun
