The scaffold light provides enhanced visibility for scaffolding structures in low-light and hazardous site conditions. Designed to meet safety regulations, this LED-based scaffold lighting solution is ideal for construction environments, especially where groundworks tools are in operation.
With durable fittings and automatic daylight sensing, it ensures continuous operation and reduces maintenance.
The scaffold light is an essential safety device engineered for site-wide visibility in low-light and harsh weather conditions. Powered by a low-energy LED system, it ensures scaffolding structures remain compliant with safety regulations such as the Highways Act 1980. This is especially crucial when operating on active construction projects and during groundwork operations. Easy to install and highly secure, this product helps minimise on-site risks effectively.
With a built-in daylight sensor, the light only activates when needed, conserving energy and reducing battery replacements. Its anti-theft design uses tamper-proof Hex bolts and includes a security screwdriver with the first order. This model is compatible with all standard scaffolding setups thanks to a versatile half swivel fitting. Available in multiple LED colours including Amber, Red, and White, the scaffold light supports visibility across different environments and signalling requirements.
- Versatile LED visibility - Available in Amber, Red, White and flashing variants to match site needs.
- Weather-resistant build - Operates effectively from -20°C to 35°C without performance drop.
- Battery-efficient design - Powered by 2 x C-type batteries with over 8000 hours of use.
- Secure installation - Lens fixed with tamper-resistant bolts; screwdriver included.
- Legal compliance - Meets lighting standards under the Highways Act 1980 for on-street scaffolding.
This scaffold lighting solution is built to address multiple site safety challenges. Its compatibility with various scaffolding setups makes it ideal for contractors working across commercial, civil engineering, and infrastructure sites. The combination of visibility, compliance, and simplicity makes it a preferred tool for site managers aiming to mitigate accidents caused by low-light scaffolding visibility.
Its rugged design also makes it suitable for demanding groundwork environments. Whether you're managing highway repairs, bridge maintenance, or building refurbishments, the scaffold light ensures that workers and pedestrians are kept aware of scaffold positioning. Its secure fit means no compromise in performance across long-term use and exposure to adverse weather conditions.

Visibility and safety are core concerns on active construction and groundwork sites. The scaffold light is a straightforward yet essential piece of kit, providing highly visible illumination for scaffolding structures exposed to public roads or dimly lit environments. Whether it’s infrastructure maintenance, new build construction, or emergency works, the ability to mark scaffolding clearly can prevent serious accidents, ensure legal compliance, and improve workflow safety during night operations or poor weather.
Installation is simple and requires no specialist tools. The half swivel fitting makes it easy to clamp onto scaffold poles regardless of configuration, while the anti-tamper bolts prevent theft — ideal for sites with limited supervision or overnight activity. By including a tamper-resistant hex security screwdriver with first orders, HERMEQ ensures your team can secure installations from the outset without sourcing additional tools.
The scaffold light is used widely across the UK in roadworks, civil engineering, industrial renovation, and railway maintenance. Its compact size, just 90mm in height, allows for unobtrusive use without interfering with worker movement or scaffold adjustment. The robust casing made from 3mm thick passivated steel resists impact and corrosion, allowing for uninterrupted service across multiple project cycles.
- Battery lifespan - Each unit runs for 12+ months with two C-type batteries, reducing site maintenance cycles.
- Multi-colour LED range - Available in amber, flashing amber, red, flashing red, white, and flashing white to suit signalling needs.
- Light output - 27.64 lumens and 589 nm frequency provide balanced illumination without glare.
- Security-first design - Plastic lens is secured in place with tamper-resistant fittings, deterring theft or interference.
- Reliable performance - Delivers consistent operation from minus 20°C to 35°C, ideal for the UK climate.
As part of HERMEQ’s comprehensive scaffolding accessory range, this product is regularly used alongside ladders & stairways and building equipment where lighting is limited. This makes it an excellent support tool not just for compliance, but also for efficiency — keeping key structural elements visible for workers during long shifts, poor visibility periods, or in traffic-adjacent zones where scaffolding must be identified clearly from a distance.
