EXPERTS INPOWER ON THE MOVE

LED stands for light emitting diode. They are semiconductors that emit light when an electric current is passed through them . Light is produced when the current combines with the semiconductor material.

LED LIGHTINGEFFICIENT LIGHTING FOR YOUR VEHICLE

As well as transforming vehicles with power management products, Ring Carnation will also transform vehicles with light.

Whether complying with health and safety regulations when working on industrial sites or providing lighting for the vehicle operators, Ring Carnation offers a comprehensive range of lighting for different applications.

Beacons and Lightbars

Making sure your team are safe on the road or on site, means making sure they stand out and can be seen clearly. Our rugged beacons and lightbars, with multiple flash patterns alert others to take care. Be seen is being safe.

Along with beacons, Ring Carnation has an extensive range of strobes, with varied mounting options providing additional presence to keep workers safe.

Work and interior lights.

Any converted vehicle will be used as a mobile work unit. Therefore vehicles will require additional lights to make sure they operational day and night.

While work lights are for external use, interior lights are needed no matter what the time of day. Slim and discreet, Ring Carnations range are all LED to reduce power consumption, yet produce clear illumination.

Ring Carnation’s range of lighting is all LED. LED offer long life, reducing vehicle downtime and are tough and durable when tested in extreme environments.


UNDERSTANDING LEDsTECHNICAL BACKGROUND & BENEFITS

led review What is an LED?

LED stands for light emitting diode. They are semiconductors that emit light when an electric current is passed through them. Light is produced when the current combines with the semiconductor material.

LEDs are increasingly being used as alternatives to other traditional forms of lighting such as halogen, fluorescent and incandescent lights.

Benefits of LEDs

The benefits of upgrading to LED are universal and relevant to all LED products. These range from safety improvements, improved light output and light up times, to long-term financial benefits as a result of longer life, low power consumption and reduced vehicle down time.

Long Life

LED products are designed to offer optimum life with low maintenance. With LEDs having up to 50,000 hours life they are designed into the units as a non-replaceable light source making bulb changes a thing of the past.

Low Power

Reduced power consumption enables the user to benefit from a longer light up time without running a vehicle engine to preserve battery life. Alternatively, more lamps can be installed for an increased light output without exceeding previous power requirements from halogen lamps.

What is a Lumen?

A lumen is the International System of Units for measuring the total amount of visible light. The intensity of light or illuminance is measured in Lux. Lux = 1 lumen per square metre. All lumen values quoted are actual measurements taken in our laboratory and adhere to recommended industry best practice.

Colour Temperature of LEDs

The colour temperature of a light source relates to the colour of light emitted. It is measured in degrees Kelvin. White daylight has a range between 5000K and 6000K. Traditional incandescent lights has a range between 2,500K and 3000K, producing an orange/red light. LEDs can have a source of light ranging from 2,000K to 10,000K.
