With 50,000 hours bulb life and solid state design, operators in industrial and military sectors can see benefits in longevity, durability and lower total cost of ownership. Combined with brighter light output than the same fixture with 60 watt T5HO bulbs and drawing only 2/3rds of the current, the 48 watt HAL-48-2L-LED hazardous location LED light is suitable for both high and low voltage applications. Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com announced an upgrade to the HAL-48-2L-LED http://www.magnalight.com/c-163-hazardous-location-area-lights.aspx [hazardous location LED light]. The HAL-48-2L-LED features LED ‘tube’ bulbs that deliver more light than same light fixture configured with two 60 watt T5HO bulbs. The LED T-series light bulbs have the same form factor as standard fluorescent bulbs, with the same pin configuration. The LED bulbs for the hazardous location fixture do differ in several ways. The LED tube style bulbs secure 24 watts of high powered LED potted into a aluminum housing and covered with an integrated polycarbonate cover. Solid state technology is much more resistant to vibration and extremes in temperature, making it ideal for demanding industrial and oil field environments. The HAL-48-2L-LED with a combined 48 watts of power draws less current than standard T5 fixtures and carries a UL 844 Class 1 Division 2 rating for Groups A, B, C and D. The HAL-48-2L-LED also carries a UL rating for wet area and saltwater area use. “The http://www.magnalight.com/p-45328-class-1-division-2-led-light--4-foot-2-lamp--led-t-series-style-fluorescent-replacement.aspx [HAL-48-2L-LED Class 1 Division 2 light] is made in the USA and the bulbs themselves are Buy American Compliant,” said Rob Bresnahan with Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com. We are leveraging a 10 year relationship with a factory in South Korea to produce the LED bulbs. We manufacture the entire light fixture here in Texas. We make and sell a lot of LED lights for general area use and we have a growing line of explosion proof lights and hazardous location lighting. Merging these capabilities enables us to produce a very robust LED light fixture for hazardous location areas. Plus, we control the specifications, ensuring that our LED bulbs run at the same or lower temperatures than the standard fluorescent bulbs we typically use. We have already done this with our http://www.magnalight.com/c-154-explosion-proof-lights.aspx [EPL-48-2L-LED explosion proof light] and now we have the line extensions for our Class 1 Division 2 lights. The benefits that accrue to our customers include local support, 50,000 life hour bulbs and a growing range of solutions for different applications in familiar form factors. The HAL-48-2L-LED is just like our standard Class 1 Division 2 light fixture. Operators can wire it the same way, change the bulbs and lenses the same way. So there is no learning curve. They just get a brighter, longer lasting light output with fewer bulb changes, no ballast changes and more durability in high vibration and extreme temperature environments. “ Rob continued, “The final benefit of the Class 1 Division 2 LED light is our ability to configure the light for low voltage applications, as well as the standard 120 to 277 volt applications without any ballasts. Usually, you need a second ballast to step down hazardous location luminaries to 12 or 24 volts. However, we produce LED T-series bulbs that are designed to run natively on those lower voltages. We have a seen a lot of demand for low voltage explosion proof and hazardous location lighting in remote areas, powered by battery banks or generators. Instead of adding a ballast and more weight, we continue to direct wire the LED bulbs. This keeps the fixture lightweight and simple.” Rob concluded, “We have emergency ballasts for our explosion proof and hazardous location lights. Typically, we offer 900 lumens for 90 minutes with T8, 32 watt bulbs. With the Class rated LED lights, we can offer a brighter, longer lasting emergency lights, with our HAL-EMG-48-2L-LED lights.” Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com offers a wide variety of explosion proof LED lights, ranging from the Class 1 Division 1 and Class 2 Division 1 EPL-48-2L-LED to the corrosion resistant, stainless steel HALSS-48-2L-LED Class 1 Division 2 light.

Magnalight.com Upgrades Solar Power Generator to support More LED Lights

Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com announced that it now offers the SPG366A-400 solar powered generator with two 400 watt milspec solar panels to feed the 366 amp hour capacity gel pack batteries. Equipped with a pneumatic telescoping mast and stabilizing lift jacks, the trailer style 760 pound solar powered generator replenishes the batteries at a rate of 24 amps per hour. Proven in 137 mile winds during Hurricane Ike and built to withstand armor piercing rounds, the SPG366A-400 can meet the needs of military, commercial and industrial users worldwide.

Kemp, TX (PRWEB) January 6, 2010 -- Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com announced that by adding two milspec solar panels to its SPG366A-400 solar powered generator, they could now offer lighting configurations of more than 50,000 lumens. Equipped with 8 of the Magnalight LED10W-9S 90 watt LED lights, the solar powered generator could, for example, effectively deliver 57,600 lumens of light for 12 hours and fully recharge the batteries with 16 hours of sunlight. The mobile solar powered generator can be connected to a vehicle via a trailer hitch and towed to remote locations. By calculating the number of hours of sunlight and accounting for cloud cover, dirt and other factors, operators can effectively assess the amount of lighting that makes the unit self-sustaining in remote areas.

“With LED lights like the LED10W-9S, operators can easily cover an area equivalent to several football fields with bright white light that delivers illumination exceeding that of high wattage metal halide light towers,” said Rob Bresnahan with magnalight.com. “We offer a wide range of low amp draw, high powered LED lights that can easily replicate traditional diesel generator driven light tower configurations when supported by our solar powered generator. Diesel generators need to be fueled and generate fumes and noise, which isn’t always useful for event oriented applications. Also, diesel generators usually produce high voltage, which presents some risks to inexperienced operators. Finally, diesel generators need to be refueled, which can present logistics issues. Solar power generators, like our SPG366A-400, are quiet, and when properly configured, can be completely self-sufficient. Obviously, the number of hours of sunlight is the critical factor. We can and do equip the unit with a hookup for conventional charging via wall outlets to augment the solar capabilities. This is effective for event lighting and other applications where diesel generators are not appropriate. But for remote area installations, operators need to size the lighting configuration to match the daylight replenishment. So there are some challenges there. “

Rob continued, “The area where we see a lot of opportunity is when the solar powered generator is used in combination with our explosion proof LED lights. There is a growing number of remote installations involving natural gas and other hazardous location storage areas that are looking for low voltage, self sufficient lighting. Our Class 1 Division 1 LED lights, combined with the solar powered generator, are a low maintenance, effective solution to this requirement.”

Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com offers a wide array of LED lights, explosion proof LED lights and other low amp draw lighting alternatives that are ideal for solar power generator configurations. High powered LED lights with low amp draws, operating on 9-32 volts DC can be ideal partners for solar powered, wind powered and other alternative energy generation.

We have had a lot of demand for spotlights with rheostat style dimmers

Kemp, TX (PRWEB) December 15, 2009 --Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com announced the addition of the HL-85-10W1-D LED spotlight with inline dimmer switch, 16 foot coil cord and cigarette plug. Drawing less than 1 amp on 12 volts and less than .5 amp on 24 volts, this LED spotlight weighs only 13 ounces and comes with a detachable 16 foot coil cord and industrial grade cigarette plug. The booted rubber switch on the pistol grip style handle enables the operator to turn the light on and off easily, while the inline dimmer switch dial is easily controlled with the operator’s other hand. The light output on the LED spotlight head illuminates reflective surfaces to 1500 feet, while the effective working beam is approximately 800 feet. The LED light head is rated at 50,000 hours and can operate on 9-32 volts DC. The inline Pulse width module (PWM) controller enables the operator to adjust the intensity of the beam from 0 percent output to 100 percent output with a twist of the dial. The HL-85-10W-1-D LED spotlight is unique in that the PWM can take the same input voltages of 9-32 volts, making the entire system functional on standard and military vehicles alike.

“We have had a lot of demand for spotlights with rheostat style dimmers,” said Rob Bresnahan with magnalight.com. “Varmint and predator hunters are fond of dimmable spotlights, but there also a lot of commercial and industrial applications for dimmable spotlights. For the moment, the HL-85-10W-1-D is a state of the art hunting spotlight with a dimmer. Halogen spotlights typically use resistors, commonly called rheostats, to control the current to the light. Pulse Width Modulators (PWM) perform the same function, but for LEDs. We constructed this inline PWM controller so it will not only work with our handheld LED spotlights, but also the full range of surface and magnetic mount LED lights, including out LEDLB and LED10W surface mount LED lights. Since the inline PWM can handle input voltages ranging from 9-32 volts DC, this solution is more versatile for a wider range of consumer, commercial and military vehicles, which may operate on 12 or 24 volts DC. In this way, PWM controllers can be more versatile than standard halogen rheostats. “    

Rob continued, “The HL-85-10W-1-D LED spotlight is a new addition to a line of handheld LED lights including the LEDPL-5 high output LED flashlight. The LEDPL-5 LED flashlight operates on standard rechargeable CR123A batteries and delivers a bright, white beam to 900 feet for 4 hours.

Magnalight.com Offers Ultra Heavy Duty Version of their LED lights for Extreme Environments

Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com adds a ruggedized version of their LED lights for extreme environments that features a u-bracket style mounting option for greater diversity of mounting and a removable face plate so operators can change optics for enhanced beam management.

The LEDLB series is very popular, but we wanted to create a heavier duty model and eliminate all but one seal for those high humidity environments where extreme temperature changes are common

(Vocus/PRWEB ) November 20, 2009 -- For high humidity environments with extreme changes in temperatures, Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com added a ruggedized model of their LED lights. The LED lights. The housings are machined from a single piece of aluminum billet and the solid state electronics are placed within the cavity. The aluminum face plate is bolted into place over an o-ring seal. This design enables operators to safely remove and replace the face plate to adjust the optics and change beam patterns. The LEDLB-EM-4 and related LED lights also offer a new trunnion mounting option. The u-bracket is bolted to the surface and the LED light can be positioned across 270 degrees of possible angles. Operators can mount the LEDLB-EM-4 light to a wall and point the light straight up, straight down or any angle in between. The LEDLB-EM fixtures are heavier in weight and are not as sleek looking as their lighter weight LEDLB LED light brethren, but they offer air tight sealing, more optics options and a greater angle mounting options.

“The LEDLB series is very popular, but we wanted to create a heavier duty model and eliminate all but one seal for those high humidity environments where extreme temperature changes are common,” said Rob Bresnahan with Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com. “In certain parts of the world, if the LED light rapidly cools and heats in very high humidity environments, the tiniest imperfection in a seal can cause moist air to be drawn in and trapped in the fixture. In the LEDLB LED light series, the operator can remove the end caps to adjust or install alternative mounting options. If those caps are not replaced to specifications, imperfections in the seal can enable moisture to enter and condensate. In the LEDLB-EM LED light series we eliminate that issue by machining the entire housing out of one piece of aluminum billet. However, we also offer a trunnion style mounting bracket, where operators have a greater range of mounting angles available to them. This was in response to customer feedback. Now operators can install the bracket and can position the light over 270 degrees of angles. The LEDLB-EM LED light series is heavier in weight, but offers the operator easier access to the optics, so they can easily change from a spot pattern to a flood pattern if their needs change down the road. We are examining a variety of optics and lens for these LED lights, so in the future operators can really tune the light to their specific beam requirements. The current LEDLB LED light series is sleeker and lighter weight and the operator is committed to the beam pattern they initially select.

Magnalight.com Adds Remote Controlled Thermal Imaging Camera

Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com introduces the RCL-336 remote controlled, pan tilt style, thermal imaging camera. By incorporating a high resolution Flir camera into an established remote controlled spotlight chassis, the RCL-336 enables military, industrial and commercial operators to scan plant and equipment for thermal energy hot spots that indicate potential problems from inside their vehicles. Thermal imaging technology is already used today by the same customers that magnalight.com provides with explosion proof lighting and remote controlled HID spotlights.

We are helping operators see better

(Vocus/PRWEB ) November 16, 2009 -- Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com extended its range of infrared oriented devices, by adding the RCL336 remote controlled thermal imaging camera. A small Flir infrared thermal imaging camera is imbedded in remote controlled pan tilt base system that enables the operator to position the camera’s field of view with 360 degrees of rotation and 140 degrees of tilt. The motor control for the pan tilt camera base includes four directional buttons, fast and slow movement control and basic on and off functionality. The remote controls include radio based handheld and dash mount controllers and a hard wired dash mount controller. The remote controlled, motorized pan tilt thermal imaging camera can be permanently or magnetically mounted and passes information to a 6 inch black and white monitor. While military and law enforcement can benefit from an externally mounted, remote control thermal imaging camera to discern targets and threats in low light areas, the RCL-336 has application in many industries. Utilities can use thermal imaging to detect problem areas in generation, distribution or supply equipment. Manufacturers and petrochemical companies can use the remote controlled Flir camera to scan facilities and product for problem areas.

“We are helping operators see better,” said Rob Bresnahan with Larson Electronics. “We can do this by providing bright visible lighting, high powered infrared illuminators and now devices like thermal imaging cameras. All objects produce thermal energy, which registers at the upper end of the infrared wavelength range. By replacing an illumination source with a thermal imaging camera in a remote controlled spotlight type chassis, we can augment an operator’s ability to see things not visible to the naked eye. Utility service personnel have been using this technology for years to identify hot spots in lines breaks and other electrical power distribution equipment. Operators in the oil and gas industry utilize thermal imaging to inspect wellhead equipment, refinery equipment and storage tanks. Manufacturing companies use thermal imaging for non-destructive testing of products and facilities. The RCL-336 incorporates the industry leading Flir thermal camera into our most popular remote controlled spotlight chassis, giving these operators the ability to scan the environment for thermal energy without leaving their vehicle. The monitor inside the vehicle will illustrate ‘hot spots’ which can help identify and repair problems.”

Larson Electronics produces and sells a wide range of remote controlled spotlights, ranging from standard halogen models to High Intensity Discharge (HID) Golight spotlights with 3200 lumen output. Magnalight.com also offers a wide range of high powered LED infrared illuminators for low voltage applications.

Magnalight Reports Cyberlux Full Year Past Due on Making Good on Hot Checks

Larson Electronics reported that Cyberlux Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: CYBL) of Durham, North Carolina, has reached nearly a full year overdue on more than $15,000 of purchases for Ultralife Battery Chargers. The battery chargers were ordered, received and sold to the US military. Given that CEO Mark Schmidt signed and sent several, post dated checks that eventually were returned for insufficient funds, Larson Electronics also reported that they are preparing criminal police reports with Durham County’s District Attorney under that county’s Worthless Check Program naming Cyberlux and its CEO Mark Schmidt.

It started out as a fairly simple transaction with Cyberlux

(Vocus/PRWEB ) November 10, 2009 -- “It started out as a fairly simple transaction with Cyberlux,” said Rob Bresnahan with Larson Electronics' magnalight.com. “Cyberlux was basically buying Ultralife battery chargers with credit card to resell to the US National Guard. We use those chargers for some solutions we build and had inventory. They started sending purchase orders, with the understanding that we had their card on file. Ultimately, they cancelled the card on file. We have since overhauled our credit policies, but our repeated attempts to get paid from Cyberlux have been unsuccessful.”
Rob continued, “Mark Schmidt, CEO with Cyberlux, had sent an email in January of 2009, indicating that they would see the payments through by February. Richard Brown, the media relations person, later called to retract Mark’s email, indicating that their financial position wouldn’t support his claim. He went on to say that Mark Schmidt ‘hid under the desk on these matters.’ Eventually, they sent over a batch of post dated checks. At Cyberlux’s request, we waited until the checks were well past the dates to deposit them. Eventually all but one was returned for insufficient funds. To this date, they have failed to replace the checks or make any other forms of payment. They ordered the product and according to the UPS tracking numbers and their own email communications, received and sold the products. So either they don’t have the money or don’t want to pay it.”
Rob continued, “We contacted the Durham County District Attorney’s office and they looked into Cyberlux and Mark Schmidt. They came back to us a week later and indicated they would pursue the case. We had hoped to avoid this step, mostly due to the time and paperwork involved, but we will move forward now. Given Cyberlux’s dismal financial history and negligible assets, civil judgments are a waste of time. A deadbeat that won’t pay what they owe won’t pay their judgment either. However, we have been successful with criminal prosecution in the past, so we will work through that channel.” concluded Rob.
Larson Electronics makes and sells a full range of lighting products, ranging from explosion proof paint spray booth lighting to handheld 24 volt lights with magnetic bases. Magnalight.com is a one stop shop for military, industrial and commercial customers around the world.

Magnalight.com Adds Explosion Proof LED Strobe Lights

By using a dedicated red lens and reflector combination, the HL-85-HID-R HID spotlight, HL-85-RL halogen spotlight, RL-85-RL rechargeable halogen spotlight deliver high output red light.

Magnalight.com Adds Food Safe Class 2 Division 1 Explosion Proof Metal Halide Light

Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com adds a food safe, explosion proof metal halide light for hazardous locations containing grain, sugar and other food related dusts.

In order to achieve UL ratings of Class 2 Division 1 or Class 2 Division 2 for a metal halide light, you need to use a glass dome

(Vocus/PRWEB ) November 3, 2009 -- Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com added the EPL-HB-MH-FG-71 UL rated Class 2 Division 1 and 2 metal halide light for illuminating hazardous location food storage areas. Configurable with 175 watt, 250 watt or 400 watt metal halide bulbs, this explosion proof food safe light fixture is available with pendant, ceiling or wall mount options. Equipped with an external reflector and cast aluminum guard, the glass dome encapsulating the bulb is coated with silicone. In the event that the dome is broken, the glass fragments remain trapped within the silicone coating. This makes this explosion proof light ideal for applications involving grain, sugar and other food related dusts. The multi-tap light is available in standard configurations ranging from 110 volts to 277 volts. Special order configurations include 480 volts.

“In order to achieve UL ratings of Class 2 Division 1 or Class 2 Division 2 for a metal halide light, you need to use a glass dome,” said Rob Bresnahan with Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com. “Typically, glass poses a problem for food processing and storage areas. Obviously, you don’t want glass in the food in the event of damage. A silicone coating overcomes this issue, enabling food related operators to get the ultra bright light output of metal halide bulbs while keeping the food clear of debris. Generally, food related dusts have a lower T-rating, as their ignition temperature is lower than environments with many petrochemical related vapors. Thus, the market is more limited in options for the Class 2 Division 1 lighting products. Having an explosion proof, food safe, Class 2 Division 1 metal halide light is useful to the food industry.

Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com offers a wide variety of explosion proof lighting, from explosion proof paint spray booth lights to hazardous location handheld LED lights. You can learn more about Larson Electronics at magnalight.com or contact 1-800-369-6671 (1-214-616-6180 international).

Magnalight.com Offers Custom Manufacturing of Explosion Proof Lighting, Lenses and RF Capabilities

Larson Electronics begins offering services in addition to products, capitalizing on its expertise in RF communications, lens vacuum coating and custom fabrication capabilities. The growing array of infrared lighting, HID remote control spotlights and unique portable explosion proof lights on magnalight.com is a testament to this expertise.

We have expertise in these areas due to new product development or one off projects for large customers

(Vocus/PRWEB ) October 19, 2009 -- Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com officially announced that they have dedicated resources a new custom manufacturing department. Three specific areas of expertise include custom design and development of hazardous location lighting configurations, vacuum chamber coating of specialty lenses and radio frequency based wireless remote control projects.

“We have expertise in these areas due to new product development or one off projects for large customers,” said Rob Bresnahan with Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com. However, as time goes on we have hired experts in these areas, who are now a permanent part of our infrastructure. We did extensive research and development to develop a 3200 lumen HID upgrade to the Golight HID remote control spotlights and K&H Nightray spotlights. High Intensity Discharge lighting is much brighter and more efficient that halogen lighting, but the problem is that the ballast generates electromagnetic interference which interferes with the RF receiver operation. We have the depth of experience with military RF communications to solve that problem."

Rob continued, "We developed IR cut off lenses for many of our handheld and vehicle mount spotlights for military applications. We use borosilicate lenses and a vacuum coating process to preserve 90+ percent light energy passing through the lens. The vacuum coating process enables us to precisely control the wavelengths of light that pass through the lenses, while maximizing the light energy. Thus, coated glass lenses will enable operators to get the most light out of a light within a specific bandwidth, like 850nm or 940nm for military applications. The plastic infrared covers are less precise and allow much less energy to pass. Depending on budget and application, operators needing more light to pass in very specific bandwidths will require vacuum coating capabilities. We can develop something very basic like hot mirrors or specialty bandwidth lenses for just about any application with this technology."

Rob concluded, “Our fabrication capabilities enable us to rapidly develop custom brackets, carts and other portability solutions for our explosion proof lighting. Within in a few weeks, we can develop and produce a small quantity of custom masts, carts or magnetic mounts for a variety of hazardous location lighting. We can adapt our existing lights to accommodate specialty UV applications with a Class 1 Division 1 or Class 1 Division 2 fixture for specific manufacturing processes. Combined with our custom build capabilities for portable power distribution, we can offer petrochemical, manufacturing and military customers a one stop shop for their hazardous location and portable power needs."

At 22 inches long, 5 inches tall and 3.5 inches deep, the LEDs are encapsulated in a aluminum casting and mounted with two 3/8 inch stud mounts suspended from stainless steel brackets. Each LED is packaged in its own reflector, creating a beam coverage area reaching more than 2000 feet in length and 900 feet in width. While the entire LED IR illuminator produces 14,400 lumens, 2 rows of 7,200 lumens are dedicated to visible light, while the other 2 rows are dedicated infrared LEDs. The infrared portion of the LED light can be configured for 850nm or 940nm, depending on customer needs. This 240 watt LED light operates on any voltage ranging from 9-32 Volts DC and ships with 2 separate power connections, terminated in two pin Deutsch sockets. A wiring harness with male connectors is also provided. By providing 2 separate power connectors, MRAP and MATV builders and operators can connect the visible LEDs to their blackout system, while the infrared LEDs remain connected to a constant power supply. When the military vehicle operators switches into blackout mode, the visible LEDs will shut off, leaving just the infrared LEDs energized. The LEDLB-80X2 is Buy American Compliant.

“This is the big brother to our LEDLB-24-VIR MRAP light, providing more range and power with the same 50,000 hour life and fixture durability, said Rob Bresnahan with Larson Electronics Magnalight. “The response to the LEDLB-24-VIR has been exceptional. However, more coverage is always better, so for the vehicles that have room for a 22 inch LED IR illuminator light; this will give them more distance and width for overall area coverage. This LED emitter light is IP67 rated dust and water tight, so it is applicable for sand and wet areas alike. On 12 volts it still only draws 20 amps and as 24 volt military vehicle light it draws only 10 amps. With this fixture, we are really start to cross over into the type of illumination provided by 1000 watt and 1500 watt metal halide fixtures configured for NEMA spot beams. But we are able to control the color and type of light produced with these LEDs. This gives the operator much more control over their environment and maximizes the efficiency of the light energy provided.”

In the halogen configuration they can equipped with a spot and flood combination bulb, with working beams reaching 800 feet or more. While this is suitable for many applications, we now offer the upgraded RCL360-HID High Intensity Discharge light producing working beams of 3000 feet or more. Available in either spot (long and narrow) or flood (short, wide and bright) beam patterns, the HID remote controlled spotlights add value to operators who need more light or need to see farther away.

The RCL360-HID series is available with a hard wired dash mount controller, which enables the operator to move the light at 45 degree angles in additions to the traditional left, right, up and down. With the wireless spotlights, the operator can position the beam while they are away from the vehicle. Previously, the Nightray spotlight models were available for permanent mounting only. However, much like our Golight line of magnetic mounted Stryker spotlights, we now offer a magnetic mount base that can accommodate the taller form factor of the RCL360 Nightray spotlights. This 400 pound grip magnetic base is designed to keep the spotlight firmly in place even while the vehicle, boat or equipment is moving,” Rob concluded.

Larson Electronics Magnalight offers an extensive array of halogen and HID spotlights. Featuring permanent and magnetic mount spotlights, flood lights and searchlights, Magnalight.com continues to add one stop shop value to operators working in the utility, construction, petrochemical, mining and military applications.

Magnalight.com Adds 70 Watt HID Light for Vehicles, Equipment and Boats

Larson Electronics Magnalight adds a 6250 lumen HID spotlight, the HID-6670, to its range of 12 volt and 24 volt lighting for vehicles, boats and equipment. Offering lower amp draw and longer bulb life than high wattage halogen and quartz lights, the 70 watt HID light offers more illumination than 35 watt or 50 watt HID lights in the Magnalight 6600 series of HID lights.

This HID light is a new addition to the 66 series of HID spotlights and floodlights

(PRWEB) September 10, 2009 -- Larson Electronics Magnalight introduced the 6670 series of High Intensity Discharge (HID) lights for vehicles, heavy equipment and boating applications. Producing 6,250 lumens and encapsulated in a rugged nylon housing, the 6 inch square lens produces a spot beam that reaches 4000 feet and a flood beam that spans nearly 400 feet in length and width. The 6670-S is the 70 watt HID light in a spotlight configuration, while the 6670-F is the HID equipment light with a flood lens configuration.

The HID light is supported by a stainless steel mounting base that is reinforced with shock absorbing bushings, which protect the spotlight and stabilize the beam. Drawing less than 6 amps on 12 Volts and less than 3 amps on 24 Volts, the 6670 HID spotlight will operate on any voltage ranging from 9 to 32 Volts. Including the mounting bracket, the 6670 is 9 inches tall and 8 inches deep while weighing just 4.2 pounds.

“This HID light is a new addition to the 66 series of HID spotlights and floodlights,” said Rob Bresnahan with Larson Electronics Magnalight. “It features our new 70 watt HID ballast and bulb combination. The 6600 series of HID lights has always been one of our most popular lights, even in the 50 watt HID model. While many of the HID lights still feature 35 watt HID technology, our industrial, marine and military customer base is constantly searching for more illumination and more beam distance. The HID-6670 delivers nearly 2000 more lumens that the HID-6600 series at 50 watts. However, it still incorporates the shock absorbing mounting system, which helps to stabilize the beam on heavy equipment, tractors and other vibratory equipment. If you are working on a front loader for several hours at night, staring at a jiggling beam get real old. The nylon and stainless steel construction has served well in the commercial boating space, where fisherman of all sorts can subject the HID light to saltwater and other harsh conditions while still controlling their current usage. The 6670 HID light series, like its predecessors, operates off of a standard 12 volt or 24 volt vehicle or boat battery system. There is no high voltage or inverters to deal with. At 70 watts of HID light output, the 6670 HID light becomes an effective alternative to 300 watt quartz lights and other high wattage halogen type lighting often found on boats, heavy equipment and work vehicles. HID bulbs work without a filament, so there longevity exceeds 2000 hours. With no filament to break, HID lights offer a high level of vibration tolerance as well, which makes HID lights ideal for construction, boating, agricultural and military applications.”

Larson Electronics Magnalight offers a wide array of 12 volt and 24 volt lighting, including halogen lights, HID lights and LED lights. You can learn more about the HID-6670 HID light and the other Magnalight lights at magnalight.com or 1-800-369-6671.

Magnalight.com Adds LED T-Series Style Stainless Steel Light for Class 1 Division 2 Areas

For highly vibratory, corrosive environments Larson Electronics Magnalight introduces the HALSS-48-2L-LED stainless steel light fixture. UL 844 rated Class 1 Division 2, this hazardous area location fixture is designed for saltwater environments with extremes in temperature. Formerly available only with the traditional T8, T12HO or T5HO fluorescent bulbs, the new version offers 4100 lumens, provided by LED t-series bulbs, which augments the light’s ability to withstand vibration and remain in operation longer before re-lamping is necessary.

Generally speaking, our stainless steel fixture is used in environments where the fixture is just going to take a pounding

We are slowly adding line extensions to our explosion proof and hazardous location area lights that incorporate the latest high powered LEDs

(PRWEB) September 9, 2009 -- Furthering extending a wide range of explosion proof and hazardous location lighting, Larson Electronics Magnalight announced the addition of a T-series LED tube based stainless steel light fixture. A fully corrosion resistant light, the HALSS-48-2L-LED contains two 24 Watt LED tubes and produces 4100 lumens. The Magnalight T-series bulbs are vibration-proof and last 50,000 hours, while producing approximately 15% more illumination than a common 40 watt T12 bulb. Supported by an integral reflector and encased in a stainless steel housing, the hazardous location area light is ideal for extreme vibration environments, where the fixture will be constantly exposed to saltwater and other substances that would degrade or corrode the aluminum housing based fixtures, like the HAL-48-2L. The HALSS-48-2L-LED is a four foot, 2 lamp light with a UL 844 Class 1 Division 2 rating. Like the HALSS-48-2L, the current fluorescent model, the new stainless steel model with LED tubes is available with approximately 1 week lead time.

“Generally speaking, our stainless steel fixture is used in environments where the fixture is just going to take a pounding,” said Rob Bresnahan with Larson Electronics Magnalight. Our reinforced polyester housing model, the HALP-48-2L is ideal for less extreme, but corrosive environments. When there is a lot of vibration, the stainless steel fixture is better suited for longevity. Our HAL-48-2L is a very popular Class 1 Division II fixture, with its extruded aluminum housing and T5HO or T12HO bulbs. We are simply building on that same basic structure and offering different housing materials to suit corrosive environments, which is mainly saltwater related. The HALSS-48-2L, both in fluorescent and now in LED T-series bulbs, offers a flexible mounting system which enables operators to position the light at any angle necessary while securing the fixture to the mounting surface.
