According to Truck-Lite, this new product innovation uses white light LED technology to illuminate loading and unloading areas while increasing operator safety.
Dome lamps may exude some incidental exterior light at the rear and/or side of a traditional trailer or box truck. However, when mounted at an ideal height, Truck-Lite’s LED Perimeter lamp directs about 20 sq. ft. of illumination to areas that do not receive direct lighting, the company says.
“The introduction of our LED Perimeter lamp application is significant to the trailer and body markets, filling a void for added lighting and safety to the lift gate area,” says Jon Stineman, Truck-Lite national sales director. “The trucking industry is not a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. business, but often requires critical deliveries at all hours throughout the day. This 24-hour business requires safe work environments for the fleets making deliveries. The LED perimeter lamp is an ideal solution to increase light and provide a safer work environment.”
Truck-Lite claims it has engineered the new LED Perimeter lamp to be a robust, bright solution for the exterior application. Utilizing four diodes, the product offers 365 lumens of light output. The lamp’s design protrudes only 2.5 in. from the vehicle surface.
