Understanding Deployment Weight Across the Litenza Range

Weight doesn't get the attention lumens and IP ratings get on a spec sheet, but it's one of the most operationally relevant numbers — it determines how many people a deployment needs and how often equipment actually gets repositioned.

The Range, by Weight

• LI-S3: 190 grams — genuinely pocket/belt-carryable, no deployment consideration at all
• LI-TP-200: 4.4 kg — light enough for one person to mount and aim without strain
• LI-300: 8.2 kg (fitting only, excl. battery) — single-person deployable, the reference point for "compact tower" in this range
• LI-TC-300: 8.4 kg (excl. battery) — comparable to the LI-300, reflecting its similar tripod-mast platform
• LI-500: 50–52 kg-class (fitting only, excl. battery, depending on mast height) — the heaviest unit in the range, reflecting its higher output and taller mast

Why This Matters More Than It Looks Like

Weight is a direct input into how often equipment actually gets repositioned in practice — see our single-person deployment guide for why this matters operationally, not just as a spec-sheet number. A lighter unit that's genuinely easy to move gets moved as work requires; a heavier one tends to stay wherever it was first set up.

Matching Weight to the Deployment Pattern

A site with a fixed, long-duration lighting position doesn't get much practical benefit from a lighter unit — the LI-500's weight is a reasonable trade-off for its output and wind rating in that context. A site repositioning lighting multiple times a shift benefits directly from the LI-300 or LI-TP-200's lighter weight.

Weight Excludes Battery Packs

Published fitting weights exclude battery packs, which add their own weight on top — factor this in when planning who's physically moving equipment, particularly for the LI-500 running multiple packs simultaneously.
