Glamox LED Floodlights Save Energy On Carica Fishing Vessel C roatian fishing company The LED designed floodlight gives very challenge, providing a long operating Jadran Tuna has installed good LED heat management, offering life of at least 50,000 hours at 45ºC. The energy-saving LED excellent life expectancy of up to 50,000 virtually maintenance-free luminaire floodlights from Glamox on hours and low energy consumption. therefore provides s avings in terms of its “Carica” (English translation: “Empress”) fishing vessel. The FL40 floodlight is the latest addition to the company’s family of Marine floodlights. Jadran Tuna operates a shipping fleet of 13 By using the latest LED technology, the fishing vessels. These fishing ships have a FL40 offers a virtually maintenance-free dual role: they fish for tuna during the tuna solution. Different light beam options are fishing season, while they fish for small available of 20°, 40°, 60° and 80°. bluefish species for the remainder of the product lifecycle costs. Lightweight design The FL40 floodlight is housed in a compact, seawater-resistant, aluminium housing with integral driver for 110V up to 240V AC/DC. The floodlight is mounted on a 316 stainless steel adjustable season. On Carica, the FL40 LED floodlights mounting bracket. The combination of from Glamox are helping to reduce energy these materials offers a robust, reliable costs. The FL40 LED floodlight (99 Watt) floodlight that weighs just 4.8kg. The FL40 replaces a 500 Watt metal halide floodlight. is also protected by an impact-resistant According to the captain of Carica, as well ESG (safety glass), uses a halogen-free as the ship owner, fishing efficiency has connection cable and is designed to also improved as a result of the new FL40 withstand water jets and immersion. LED floodlights. Another important benefit The floodlights are suitable for a variety of the FL40 LED floodlights is that they of applications, including general provide instantaneous lighting at switch illumination of outdoor work areas, The FL40 floodlight also offers substantial on, while the previous metal halide lamps funnels and deck areas. The FL40 is also savings in terms of energy consumption. took time to warm up at switch on, which Germanische Lloyd (GL) approved, which Equipped with an energy saving 99W could lead to a loss in fish catch. means it is suitable for use in safety and LED light source with an output of 10,000 rescue applications such as man overboard Lumen, the floodlight has a high luminous lighting. The FL40 operates in ambient efficacy and can replace a 500W halogen temperatures ranging from -35ºC to +45ºC. light. Various colour temperatures of 3000, Excellent heat management and long system lifetime The FL40 LED floodlight is suitable for installation and use in marine applications such as fishing vessels, cruise ships and super yachts. The attractively designed floodlights provide instantaneous, high intensity light. Heat management and high reliability are decisive factors when developing Energy savings 4000 and 5000 Kelvin create a warm-white up to a cold-white lighting effect. new LED lighting solutions.
