New Zealand-based marine lighting manufacturer Hella marine has announced the new HypaLUME LED floodlight, a 20,000-lumen floodlight specifically designed for the harsh marine work environment.
"The HypaLUME is the most powerful floodlight we've ever offered and was designed with energy efficiency as a top priority," commented the company.
"While comparable to a 400W metal halide fitting in terms of light output, it only consumes a mere 240W (10 amps at 24V)."
Designed for heavy-duty and commercial vessels, Hella equips its HypaLUME floodlight with a Grilamid lens. Made from an advanced polyamide material, Grilamid imparts very good resistance to impact, fatigue, UV rays and harsh chemicals.
"HypaLUME's wide-reaching beam pattern offers a color temperature of 5700K. This crisp white light, similar to daylight, helps maintain high productivity by preventing the fatigue and eyestrain common with warmer-colored halogen lighting," Hella continued.
Engineered inside and out for long life, HypaLUME has completely sealed heat-sink housing and a die-cast aluminum body. Its bonded non-stick coating resists moisture and remains free of corrosion, discoloration, peeling and flaking.
Resistant to both extreme heat and cold, the floodlight showed no decrease in output even when operating in temperatures from -40º F to 50º C during testing.
The HypaLUME is held in place with a heavy-duty stainless steel bracket for secure installation. Vibration- and impact-proof, the bracket also allows for vertical angle adjustment and is pre-wired with over 1.5 metres of twin core marine cable for easy installation.
Measuring approximately 50 centimetres wide and 38 centimetres tall, the multi-volt DC floodlight weighs just over 13.3 kilograms, including cable and bracket. It offers considerable electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) protection, a shock rating of 200G, and a vibration rating of 750Hz at 3.2 millimetres.
