Truck-Lite’s Super 80 Series LED Dome Lamps with IR Motion Sensor Boost Performance for Interior Trailer Lights 5/13/2010
May, 2010, Falconer, New York - - Truck-Lite’s recent release of the Super 80 LED Interior Trailer lamp with IR motion sensor uses advanced technology to boost efficiency for trailer operators. The interior dome is similar to Truck-Lite’s 80251C, while offering the ability to be activated when motion is recognized, thus eliminating a switch. Jay Davenport, Truck-Lite’s National Sales Director for the body market, states “Our Super 80 LED Dome lamps are known for their consistent bright light output in warm or cold temperatures. By adding an IR motion sensor to this application, we are providing a hands-off service to assist in the trailer operator’s daily routine.” The LED Dome’s IR sensor, which compares changes in heat coupled with motion, can sense movement up to 10 feet away from the lamp surface. The lamp is designed to stay on through 5 minutes of inactivity before automatically shutting off, saving operators power consumption. This lamp lends itself as a convenient and energy efficient package, offering automatic, IR motion-detected hands-free operation. The rugged lamp is composed of die cast aluminum housing and a polycarbonate lens. The near flush mount design is 1.1” thick, compared with 1-5/8” fluorescents, and leaves more clearance for loads or loading equipment. Retrofit or replacements are quick and easy with a recommended cut-out of 16”x4”. A new potting material completely encapsulates the LEDs’ circuit board to ensure resistance to shock, vibration and fluids from cleaning activities. Most trailers supply between 9 and 11 volts, but Truck-Lite’s Super 80 will function at full brightness 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. “By taking our existing Interior Dome lamp
and building in passive infrared technology, this essentially saves the trailer
operator time and money,” commented
John Howells, Truck-Lite’s VP of Sales. “In today’s economy, time is money
and what we are offering allows the ease to load, unload and go without having
to look back.” The Truck-Lite brand is proud to be engineered and manufactured
in the U.S.A.
