Light Where You Need It

ptronics International, a leading manufacturer and supplier of heavy-duty LED vehicle lighting, announced the introduction of its new UCL41 Series Scene Light. The new lamp is the first of a new style of directional scene lighting that casts a more focused beam of LED light in a direction that can be accurately defined simply by its placement. Priced at roughly half the cost of traditional nine-diode scene lights, the UCL41 Series Scene Light uses 12 diodes and advanced optical engineering to focus its optimal beam pattern. Until now, scene lights have generally just flooded an area with illumination, without regard for how wide or deep the scene may be. The result of ultra-wide beam pattern scene lighting has been less focused and less usable light in the areas that may be most critical – those directly adjacent to the vehicle. Optronics’ new UCL41 Series Scene Light is engineered to deliver an intense white LED beam pattern at a 45-degree angle to its mounting position. The lamp enables OEMS, bodybuilders and end users to determine the size and shape of the scene they prefer to illuminate.
Mounting the lamp higher creates a larger scene, while mounting it lower creates a smaller scene, and the lamps can be rotated before mounting to deliver light that is oriented to a vehicle’s front, rear and sides. “Our new UCL41 Series Scene Light is the first to be engineered with the scene in mind,” Brett Johnson, president and CEO of Optronics International, said. “Our design enables the engineers and those using a vehicle to configure a custom lighting scenario that best fits the specific need.” The low-profile, surface-mount lamp is easy to install and requires only two mounting fasteners. Once the UCL41 is secured, a black- or chrome-coated plastic bezel snaps into position, giving the lamp a clean finished appearance. The UCL41 Series Scene Light accommodates both 12- and 24-volt electrical systems and is IP67 rated. The lamp comes complete with a 6-inch hard-wired lead and ground wires and requires only a three-quarter-inch hole for the wire feed. For more information visit www. optronics.com.

ational Fleet Products’ MAD EasyLoad Hoist stores inside vehicles at ceiling height, extending 3.79 feet and gliding up to 8 feet laterally, to put up to1,100 pounds of lifting and lowering capacity precisely where it’s needed. The EasyLoad remains inside the vehicle, away from the elements, and can be stowed above shelving on either side of the vehicle or in the center of the cargo hold until needed. Its boom is easily positioned for the task at hand because it can move on two axes, sliding laterally up to 8 feet, depending on the vehicle, and extending up to 45.5

inches in length. “The dual-axis MAD EasyLoad Hoist makes it easy for operators to lift and lower cargo with pinpoint accuracy because they don’t have to worry about positioning the vehicle in exact relationship to a target,” Steven Peterson, President of National Fleet Products, said. “The EasyLoad allows operators to navigate cargo through manholes and to position the winch for optimal load securement, even when the host vehicle isn’t perfectly oriented.” For a distributor near you, please contact www.nationalfleetproducts.com.

ebasto Thermo & Comfort, the global leader in equipment and vehicle cooling and heating solutions, has introduced its new SP80 HVAC. The low-profile, ceilingmounted HVAC will make it possible for OEMs and cabin manufacturers to design vehicle-control spaces with increased headroom, greater visibility and an enhanced sense of comfort. In contrast to the large, sharp-edged, rectangular sheet-metal boxes that characterize the majority of ceilingmounted HVAC systems in today’s heavy equipment, Webasto’s new SP80 HVAC looks somewhat inconspicuous. At 50 percent the size and 20 percent the weight of average HVAC systems, SP80 hugs a cabin’s ceiling. The unit’s 3.15-inch-thick injectionm o l d e d
plastic envelope features rounded edges and a unique central air intake configuration that allows air outlets to be precisely oriented to fit a cab’s particular design. Its 25.03-inch width and 20.39inch length will also make the unit easy to integrate into any cab design. “Design engineers will be able to create cabins with far greater comfort, visibility and overall space,” Mark Denny, President and CEO of Webasto Thermo & Comfort North America, said. “The SP80’s ergonomic advantages are matched by its ultra-light weight, enabling cab roof structures to be lighter as well.” To access more content about the lowprofile, ceiling-mounted SP80 HVAC, visit: www.webasto.com/us/marketsproducts/off-highway/ custom-hvacsolutions.
