Truck-Lite has released the Super 80 LED Interior Trailer lamps, a new line of brighter, white LED lamps designed to be direct replacements for most popular sizes and shapes. Bob Ives, Truck-Lite Vice President of Marketing, states “LEDs in trailers provide a brighter, whiter light that allows a more realistic view of trailer contents. LEDs are more effective in cold environments like those experienced in refrigerated trailers and winter operating conditions . They don’t flicker like fluorescent lighting.” The Truck-Lite brand is proud to be engineered and manufactured in the U.S.A.
The rugged aluminum housing weighs in at only two pounds and has a recommended cut-out of 16-ii.x4-in. They are 1.1-in. thick, compared with 1-5/8-in. ” fluorescents. That leaves ½-in. more clearance for loads or loading equipment. The lamp protrudes only 0.1” above the mounting surface. A new potting material completely encapsulates the LEDs’ circuit board to ensure resistance to shock, vibration and fluids from cleaning activities.
Most trailer lighting operates between 9 and 11 volts, but Truck-Lite’s Super 80 will function from 7V-16V. Standard fluorescent lamps don’t work below 10v. The lamp’s 10 LEDs will reach full brightness at 9.5v, thus the Super 80 eliminates problems of low voltage.
Additional features and benefits include:
-
Brighter light helps better recognition.
-
Flicker free lighting in all temperatures helps make working in trailers easier and more efficient.
-
Lower profile, rugged housings improve durability and reliability and minimize damage.
-
Standard shapes and sizes make retrofit or replacement quick and easy.
-
Solid, water resistant aluminum housing can be used in cabs or trailers.
-
LED lamps are brighter at lower temperatures, improving vision in refrigerated trailers.
Super 80 lamps are eligible for Truck-Lite’s exclusive Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Each diode in the Super 80 consumes one-third the current of those in the Model 80, but the Super 80’s 10 diode array almost doubled the useable light produced by its predecessor. The Super 80 lamp is up to 4 times brighter than incandescent lamps it replaces.
