With a new fleet of green fleet bucket trucks, this client required a low amperage, high light output vehicle-mounted, remote controlled spotlight that could operate from the utility vehicles 12-volt battery without idling.
KH Industries designed both LED and HID dual head remote controlled spotlights for PG&E’s evaluation for use in this new green fleet. After several sessions of field testing, the utility company selected the HID StarBeam Spotlight for the superior high light output. The SB2-1D035-D has (2) 35 Watt Xenon lamps, with a total light output of 6,400 lumens or 1,200,000-cp and under a 7.5 amperage draw. This particular fleet’s vehicles did not require the engine to be idling for utility crews to operate the bucket and other on-board equipment, such as exterior lights, this reduces emissions, and vehicle operating costs, which extends the life of the vehicle.
