For high humidity environments with extreme changes in temperatures, Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com added a ruggedized model of their LED lights. The http://www.magnalight.com/p-46738-led-light-emitter--12-watts--4-leds--80l-x-80w-beam--9-32-volts-dc-w-adjustable-bracket-moun.aspx LEDLB-EM-4 LED light is the first example of this heavier duty range of 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.
Larson Electronics offers a wide range of LED lighting, from LED spreader lights to explosion proof LED lights for hazardous location areas. You can learn more at magnalight.com or call 1-800-369-6671 (1-214-616-6180 international) for more information.
