Bright new product: The Rite-Lite HD-LED
Dock Light from Rite-Hite Corp. illuminates the
entire length of a semi-trailer for improved
safety and productivity, while reducing energy
costs. The unit, which incorporates state-of-the-art lighting technology, is engineered to deliver
long-lasting performance in the most demanding dock applications.
The Rite-Lite consists of a die-cast aluminum light housing, which contains five high-intensity LED emitters. It has a heavy-duty pivoting arm that attaches to the dock wall. With
its LED emitters, the 15-watt Rite-Lite optimizes brightness and minimizes energy consumption. The light delivers a minimum life of
50,000 hours and is always cool to the touch.
The light housing, which features an ABS spacer ring to further dissipate heat, can be
attached to virtually any existing dock light arm
in minutes.
The Rite-Lite offers the potential to capitalize
on local electrical utility rebates, thus complementing companies’ green building initiatives.
And with its impact-resistant clear acrylic cover,
it satisfies food facility requirements that prohibit the use of glass.
The UL-listed Rite-Lite features a non-corro-sive design and a yellow powder-coat paint finish. (Rite-Hite, www.ritehite.com)
