Wide-area lighting fixture POWERTUBE II S 230V AC on/off

Product overview

The SONLUX POWERTUBE II S (73P01000-0006.E) is a compact large-area LED luminaire built for fast, reliable illumination of temporary work zones. Instead of producing a narrow hotspot, it creates a soft 360° light field that surrounds people, tools, cables, pallets, and barriers. This makes the entire area easier to read and safer to move through, especially when the setup changes frequently during a shift.

The “S” size is ideal when you want the POWERTUBE concept in a lighter, more agile format. It is quick to deploy, easy to transport, and still delivers professional light quality with a glare-reduced diffuser tube. Use it on the floor for rapid tasks, mount it on a mast (tripod) for broader coverage, or suspend it when you need clear walkways and clean access routes.

Switchable 180° / 360° lighting

This version uses a rugged toggle switch with three clear positions: Off, 180° illumination, and 360° illumination. That simple control is a major advantage in the field. In 180° mode, you focus light on a defined work face and reduce unwanted spill behind the luminaire. In 360° mode, the lamp lights the whole zone around it, which is perfect when teams move around the setup or when the working area expands.

Two outputs for practical power planning

In 180° mode, the rated luminous flux is 5,500 lm at 42 W. In 360° mode, it delivers 11,000 lm at 84 W. Both modes maintain the same strong system efficiency of 131 lm/W. That means you can scale lighting on site without wasting energy. It also helps when you run several luminaires from temporary distributions and want predictable load behaviour.

Uniform light quality that supports real work

The POWERTUBE II S operates at 5000 K, giving a clean, neutral daylight character that supports alertness and accurate visibility. With CRI 80, colours remain reliable for safety labels, cable identification, markings, and equipment recognition. The colour tolerance is 3 SDCM, helping the light appear consistent between units in multi-lamp setups.

Glare-reduced illumination for comfort

Temporary lighting often causes eye fatigue when reflections bounce off wet asphalt, steel parts, glossy floors, or vehicle surfaces. The opal cover diffuses the LEDs into a soft, uniform light. Glare evaluation (RUG) supports that purpose: 25.4 in 180° mode and 27.3 in 360° mode. The goal is not just “more light”. The goal is light that remains usable for long shifts.

Rugged construction for transport and frequent deployment

This luminaire is built to be moved. The housing is aluminium with a powder-coated finish. The base plate is steel, powder-coated, and equipped with rubber feet for stability and grip. The diffuser tube is made of impact- and break-resistant polycarbonate. These choices support repeated pack-down, transport, and repositioning without treating the luminaire like fragile equipment.

Protection ratings for jobsite reality

The POWERTUBE II S is rated IP65 for protection against dust and water jets and IK08 for impact resistance. It is suitable for demanding indoor and outdoor use where splash, spray, and knocks are normal. The filament test rating is 850 °C. It is also classified in photobiological risk group 0 according to EN 62471.

Flexible mounting: mast, floor, or suspension

The tube format is designed for versatile deployment. Use it as a floor lamp when speed is critical. Mount it on a mast (tripod) when you need broader coverage and fewer shadows. Suspend it to keep the ground clear in narrow corridors, vehicle lanes, or crowded event build-outs. The integrated holding sleeve fits a 30 mm stand spigot according to DIN 14640, which matches common professional tripods used for large-area lighting.

Practical placement tips

• Use 180° mode for corridors, boundaries, and defined work faces.
• Use 360° mode when teams work around the luminaire.
• Mount higher on a mast to widen coverage and soften shadows.
• Route cables away from walkways to reduce trip hazards.
• Keep the diffuser clean to maintain a uniform light field.

Electrical behaviour for cleaner circuit planning

Temporary distributions and generator-fed circuits can be sensitive to inrush peaks. The POWERTUBE II S has defined inrush behaviour: 40 A with a duration of 200 µs. As a practical guideline for planning, you can operate 1 luminaire on a B10A fuse, 1 on B16A, 2 on C10A, and up to 3 on C16A. Always apply local regulations and consider cable length and real site conditions.

What is included

Basic technical specifications

Who this luminaire is for

The POWERTUBE II S is a strong fit for mobile crews who want uniform light without heavy towers or complex control systems. It suits construction and infrastructure tasks, service and maintenance work, event build-outs, sports venues, and emergency support lighting. If you value speed, simplicity, and a clean 360° light field, this compact version is a practical daily tool.
