PRODUCT EXPANSION SHINES LIGHT ON ACQUISITION WITH EVE

Eve has announced the acquisition of the event and industrial mobile tower lighting supplier, Brightlights, alongside the company’s expansion through a growing fleet of products. 

The latest acquisition by Eve will see the integration of Brightlights into the company’s UK wide operation and extend its service and product portfolio.

Formed in 1998, Brightlights has rapidly become one of the market leaders through the provision of illumination solutions to the event and industrial sectors. Headquartered in Essex, the company has the capability of supplying its products and service across the country – an offering which will be further bolstered by the partnership with Eve.

Not only does the acquisition signal a landmark in both of the companies’ histories, but it also supports the expansion of the fleet of Ecolite and TL-90 tower lights.

A unique product to reduce a project or event’s environmental footprint, the Ecolite is radically different in design, appearance and performance. Different from other standard lights, the Ecolite is capable of reducing operational and transportation costs significantly. Remarkably, the state of the art and lightweight Ecolite can run for 180 hours on just one tank of diesel fuel and contributes to a 85 per cent saving based on running costs of a conventional light tower.

The TL-90, the second expanded product to be offered by Brightlights, is a compact, yet robust mobile light tower. Ideal for all temporary lighting tower applications and is already used by a great number of plant rental companies and event organisers.

The product has many benefits not least it’s automated mast erection which takes only 12 seconds, its reduced noise levels, 360 degree mast rotation and a 85 hour running life on a single tank of fuel.

Nigel Gilbey of Brightlights says: “We’re exceptionally pleased to be able to offer more of our most popular products, including the Ecolite and TL-90, and services to our clients. Progressively we’re being asked to provide a solution to a project that takes into consideration energy conservation, reduces environmental impact as well as minimising noise. Now, thanks to the Ecolite and TL-90 we can offer this and on a much larger scale.

“The partnership with Eve marks an exciting time for the company, especially in terms of establishing more environmental and high quality offerings, which is something we are both very driven to continue developing.”

An additional benefit of both the Ecolite and TL-90 is the provision of safer working environments.

Commenting on the acquisition, Rick Barnett, managing director of Eve says: “We’re delighted to announce the integration of Brightlights into our company. It’s a natural partnership as we both work within the same sectors and have shared values and ambition. By joining forces we’ll not only be able to extend our service, but further improve the excellent reputation Brightlights has achieved in the industry.”

The announcement co-incides with Eve’s 45th year in business during which it has launched a number of new products, including Eve TuffTrak and the Event Panel.
