48 Issue 3 2020 S upplier of environmentally centred lighting towers, Trime UK, has received an award by The Green Organisation in recognition of the X-Solar lighting tower’s sustainable qualities. It’s the second award the international environment group, which is independent and non-political, is the second has bestowed on the company, which was also recognised in 2018 for the water-saving X-Splash wash bay system. Senior representatives from the Cambridgeshire-based company were invited to receive their award at a presentation ceremony hosted at the Houses of Parliament on November23rd. The Trime X-Solar Hybrid is a LED lighting tower that is powered by a combination of solar energy, battery power, backed-up by an engine driven battery charging system to ensure continual illumination. The set features four 100-watt LED lamps that deliver a light coverage of 2,400 square metres, combined with up to 3,000 hours of uninterrupted running without refuelling. For 95% of its operation, the X-Solar Hybrid emits zero noise along with 97% zero emissions. Trime engineers have calculated that the X-Solar Hybrid will bring significant cost savings and environmental gains when compared to a standard lighting tower. As the Trime lighting set only uses £5 worth of fuel per month, an operator’s diesel costs could diminish by £457 per month. Trime UK Managing Director, Paul Hay said: “We are delighted to receive this accolade. Environmental issues concerning the use of fossil fuels on sites are a major subject, so we have been focussing our product development to promote the use of renewables. To have the X-Solar Hybrid officially acknowledged as a sustainable product is extremely satisfying.” The Green Apple Awards began in 1994 and have become established as the country’s major recognition for environmental endeavour among companies, councils, communities and countries.
