Peterson's new LumenX Series 7 safety lights are powered by the latest white-diode LEDs. The LumenX Series features enhanced optics engineered for efficient light dispersal. According to the company, the entire lens illuminates fully with no hot spots or dead zones, regardless of viewing angle. The DOT-legal LumenX Series comprises S/T/T lights, turn signals, backup lights and work lights available in 4" round and 6" oval footprints.
According to Steve Meagher, Peterson's VP of Sales, LumenX Series lamps outperform standard LED lamps. "Photometric testing shows LumenX Reds are 25% brighter and LumenX Ambers test fully twice as bright," he said. "In vehicle safety lighting, brighter means safer, greater visibility day or night, in any weather."
John Hansen, Head Project Engineer, said the LumenX challenge was to design a high-output LED lamp series with a consistent look from reds to ambers to back-ups. "We chose white diodes over colored diodes for their superior thermal management - they do not lose intensity," he said. "With our CAD software we were able to pair the LEDs with a new design in lens optics. It makes the entire lens glow with enhanced brightness."
Peterson's LumenX Series lights are built from high-grade plastic resins and fully integrated insert molding for extra protection.
LumenX Series 7 models include Red, Amber and White in both 4" Rounds in 7- and 9-diode versions, and Ovals in 7- and 10-diode versions. Each model features fully integrated insert molded terminals for increased protection. All models can be ordered with AMP-compatible connections. 7-diode Rounds and Ovals are also available with the industry-standard PL3 connection. Integrated voltage regulation is supplied on all models. A multi-volt design is available on certain models.
