by Brianna Crandall — May 16, 2016 — Larson Electronics, a provider of commercial- and industrial-grade lighting equipment used around the world, has announced the release of a 25-watt blue forklift LED warning spotlight produced to expand the safety measures in a work area.
The ultra-compact 25-watt LED warning light produces 2,250 lumens of sharp blue light while drawing only 2.09 amps from a 12-volt electrical system.
The LEDWL-FKLT-BLUE blue LED forklift safety light is an ultra-compact light that produces 2,250 lumens of sharp blue light while drawing only 2.09 amps from a 12 volt electrical system. This LED spotlight is designed to be mounted on the front and back of a forklift or other heavy machinery to warn pedestrians and bystanders when they are in the path of an oncoming forklift.
Five 5-watt blue LEDs producing 450 lumens each are combined with high output parabolic reflectors to produce a narrow 5° spread spot beam, providing a high-intensity center beam visible at night and during the day. The LED warning light can operate in temperatures of -40°C to 80°C, is waterproof to 1 meter, and resists ingress of dust, dirt and humidity. The housing is formed from extruded aluminum, and the lens is constructed of unbreakable polycarbonate.
The LED warning light mounts on front and back of a forklift or other heavy machinery to warn pedestrians and bystanders when they are in the path of an oncoming forklift.
The LED safety light is suspended within a form-fitting trunnion mount. The trunnion mount has two knurled knobs that can be loosened, allowing the LED light to be adjusted and then re-tightened to lock the light into the desired position once mounted. A single stainless steel stud protrudes from the bottom of the mount, enabling the operator to install the light using a simple through-hole mount.
According to Rob Bresnahan, CEO of Larson Electronics:
This new blue LED spotlight was designed to meet the demands of customers who have requested a light to extend the safety operations of forklifts within the work area. The light eliminates the need for strenuous strobe lights and audible alarms that could cause more of a distraction rather than assist with safety precautions.
Larson Electronics carries an extensive line of LED light towers, portable power distributions, explosion proof lights for hazardous locations, portable work lights and industrial grade LED area lights. Larson Electronics’ entire line of lighting is viewable on the company’s Web site.
