strooilicht

Strooilicht refers to temporary lighting used on construction sites to illuminate work zones during periods of insufficient natural light. The term typically encompasses portable hand lamps, portable floodlights, mobile light towers, and fixed temporary lighting installations that can be deployed quickly and moved as activities progress.

Equipment includes portable LED floodlights and halogen work lamps, designed to be rugged, weatherproof and safe for use on dusty or wet sites; mobile light towers that combine a telescoping mast with high-intensity lamps and a generator or battery power; and fixed lighting attached to scaffolding, hoardings, or temporary structures to provide targeted illumination along passages and workfaces.

Key specifications include light intensity, measured in lux at the working plane; color temperature, typical ranges from warm to daylight-like; color rendering index to reveal true colors; glare control and uniform distribution; energy efficiency; power source options; and durability features such as IP ratings against dust and water ingress.

Site lighting must comply with local safety regulations and industry standards, with attention to preventing glare and deep shadows, ensuring safe cable management, and safeguarding temporary electrical circuits. Lighting design often aims to provide even illumination across critical zones to reduce accidents and eye strain.

In English-language technical literature, construction-site lighting is the common term, while strooilicht may appear in multilingual or regional contexts combining elements from Slavic languages for the concept of construction and the German word Licht for light. The term emphasizes the practical role of lighting in construction workflows.
