Temporary lighting is often needed before fixed equipment can be installed or moved into position. Traditional light towers, tripod lamps and handheld lights can work well in stable locations, but they also have clear limitations in mobile and temporary scenarios.
Large lighting towers and ground lamps usually require transportation, installation and fixed placement. For emergency response, outdoor activities or temporary work sites, this can delay operation.
Ground-based lights are easily blocked by vehicles, trees, tents, terrain, buildings or people. In many outdoor environments, lighting from above provides better coverage and visibility.
Traditional lighting equipment can be heavy and inconvenient to move between different working areas. This is a problem for rescue teams, event teams, farms, fisheries and outdoor users who need flexible deployment.
Battery-only lighting equipment may require frequent charging or battery replacement during long night operations. For overnight work, this creates extra workload and operational interruption.
The Kitefly Tethered portable lighting drone system combines a lightweight UAV, high-brightness LED light, tether cable, automatic cable management and compact ground power station into one fast-deployment aerial lighting solution.
Instead of placing all lighting equipment on the ground, the drone lifts the light source into the air. This creates a better overhead lighting angle and helps illuminate outdoor areas more evenly.
The tethered power design allows the drone to operate for long periods without relying only on onboard batteries, making it more suitable for emergency lighting, outdoor work, camping, event lighting, agriculture, fisheries and night patrol.
The airborne unit is compact and lightweight, making it easier to transport, deploy and operate in outdoor environments.
The lighting system provides up to 15,000 lm output, suitable for temporary night work, outdoor activity areas, rescue sites and small to medium field lighting scenarios.
The tether cable supplies continuous power from the ground unit to the drone. Automatic cable retraction reduces manual cable handling and makes operation cleaner and easier.
The ground unit supports long-duration operation and provides stable power for the lighting drone. It can be used for field deployment where continuous lighting is required.
The system supports automatic takeoff and landing, reducing operation difficulty for users who need fast deployment in real working environments.

Our Solution |
A compact tethered lighting drone that provides overhead lighting with long-duration ground power |
|
Outcomes |
Faster deployment, better lighting angle, less manual cable handling and more flexible night operation |
A portable tethered lighting drone is a compact UAV lighting system that flies at a fixed height while receiving continuous power from a ground unit through a tether cable. It provides elevated lighting for emergency response, outdoor work, camping, construction, agriculture, fisheries and temporary night operations.
The main advantage is fast overhead lighting. Compared with ground lamps or tripod lights, the drone lifts the light source into the air, helping improve illumination angle and reduce ground obstacles.
The system is designed for long-duration operation and can support over 24 hours of lighting when powered by the ground unit.
The portable lighting drone supports up to 10 m flight height, making it suitable for outdoor work areas, campsites, rescue sites, small event spaces and temporary lighting scenarios.
No. The system supports automatic cable retraction, which reduces manual cable winding and makes field operation easier.
It depends on the application. For large fixed construction sites, traditional light towers may still be suitable. For temporary, mobile or hard-to-reach areas, a tethered lighting drone can be faster to deploy and easier to move.
It is suitable for emergency response, construction lighting, camping, outdoor events, agriculture, fisheries, night patrol, temporary field lighting and search-and-rescue support.
Yes. The system supports automatic takeoff and landing, and the automatic cable retraction design helps reduce manual work during setup and recovery.
