Truck-Lite announces the release of its LED snow plow kit. The LED kit not only improves overall visibility for the vehicles plowing busy roads and highways, but the lamps are also highly visible by oncoming traffic, improving all around safety.
Kit, part number 80863, is composed of a right and left hand lamp assembly (each right/left lamp assembly includes an LED headlamp, bracket and pedestal turn signal lamp) and appropriate harness.
Truck-Lite’s work with the U.S. military to develop the first LED headlamp, leading into a commercially suitable, DOT compliant lamp provided a strong back-bone to offering snow plows better visibility and added safety.
- LED lights are significantly brighter than traditional lamps
- Longer life expectancy
- Increased durability
- Lower current draw
Traditional halogen lamps emit light from a fine filament that hasn’t been able to withstand the impact generated by the plow’s vibration. LED products work from electrically charged semiconductor chips that emit light. The semiconductor produces a solidstate lamp that is far more durable and virtually impervious to shock and vibration.
Prior to the product release, Truck-Lite worked closely with the town of Leroy, NY to test prototype kits in real-life winter scenarios.
