Lighting techniques of the work lights

Because of the great product advantages offered by LED technology, we now stock almost exclusively professional LED work lights. We still offer a headlamp from Nordic Lights in the H3 bulb category (halogen work lights).

LEDs emit about six times the lumen output per watt compared to a halogen bulb. The service life of the LED is higher than that of an H3 work light by a factor of approx. 30 (!). It is not normally necessary to replace the bulb in LED headlights. The housings of our headlamps are mostly made of high-quality aluminium. This ensures good heat dissipation and thus constant light output. All of our LED work lights can be operated either with 12V or 24V power.

We offer LED headlights with different light outputs or forms of illumination for the optimum lighting of your application. There are two types of illumination: a wide close-range illumination and a narrower long-range illumination. The width and length of the light field of LED work lights is determined by the shape of the reflector and the structure of the protective lens. Furthermore, the height of the mounting point of a headlamp influences the size of the luminous flux.

Mount work lights individually for different applications

The lighting equipment of work lights is crucial for the optimal illumination of your work site. The following must be clarified before procuring additional floodlights:

• Which area of illumination is to be covered by the work light?
• How many spotlights with what power in watts or lumens are needed for the task?
• Is there a restriction due to a maximum permissible power consumption of the additional headlights?
• Where and how are the selected headlights optimally mounted?

When installing or retrofitting, various technical conditions must be observed when it comes to connecting the work lights.

• Sufficient cable cross-section to the work lights.
• The lights can be switched on and off individually or as a group via fused switches that match the current consumption - or better - via relays.
• Switching via a relay has the advantage that the cable between the switch and the relay requires only a small cable cross-section and thus less installation effort due to the minimal current consumption.
• The total current consumption of the additional lighting must match the power of the alternator or battery capacity of the vehicle.

A la hora de instalar o reequipar los focos de trabajo, debemos tener en cuenta diferentes condiciones técnicas.

•       La sección de cable es suficiente para conectar los focos de trabajo.

•       Las luces de trabajo pueden encenderse y apagarse individualmente o en grupos, según sea necesario, usando para ello interruptores con fusibles que se ajusten al consumo de corriente, o mejor aún, por medio de relés.

•       La conmutación mediante relé tiene la ventaja de que entre el interruptor y el relé sólo requiere una pequeña sección de cable y, por tanto, un menor coste de instalación al consumir una corriente mínima.

•       El consumo total de corriente de la iluminación adicional debe coincidir con la potencia del generador o la capacidad de la batería del vehículo.
