Optronics International announced the release of new TLL75 Series LED flood beam work lights and STL13 Series 4-inch round LED stop/turn/tail lights. The TLL75 Series LED flood beam work light is also being offered with an amber lens that is less reflective in snowy environments.
“Our lamps are smart, and our microprocessors are programmed to start heating only when temperatures begin dropping below 50 degrees Fahrenheit [10 degrees Celsius], in preparation for ice and snow, and as the environment warms again, they stop heating,” said Dustin Smith, vice president of sales for Optronics.
The lamps are designed to target commercial vehicles operating in a northern climate with harsh winters, Optronics said.
Another unique feature of Optronics’ new lamps is the way in which they actually heat. Most of the heated lamps on the market use filaments embedded in their lenses, much like a rear-window defroster. Optronics’ heated lamps begin the heating process at the core of the lamp, at the level of the circuit board. The heat then emanates throughout the lamp, quickly warming the entire body of the lamp, including its housing.
The TLL75 Series LED flood beam work light and STL13 Series 4-inch round LED stop/turn/tail light heat up quickly to melt ice and snow from their lenses and housings. Optronics’ performance results in environmental test chambers show rapid, whole-lamp heating. Starting at –22 degrees Fahrenheit, with 5 millimeters of ice on their lenses, the lamps heated to 3 degrees Fahrenheit after one minute, 43 degrees Fahrenheit after five minutes and 100 degrees Fahrenheit after 15 minutes, the company reports.
The TLL75FHHB work light features a 4,500 raw lumen output and an effective lumen output of 2,800, while the TLL75AHHB work light offers a 2,300 raw lumen output and an effective lumen output of 2,000. Both lamps are IP69K rated and come with heavy-duty, powder-coated, die-cast aluminum housings and polycarbonate lenses and stainless steel mounting hardware. The lamps are compatible with 12- and 24-volt electrical systems and are available in bulk and polypack packaging.
The STL13 Series 4-inch round LED stop, turn, tail light features seven diodes and a polycarbonate lens with an ABS housing. The grommet-mounted light come with a PL-3 molded connection.
