Magnalight Adds More Infrared Light Options for Military and Security Applications
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) March 10, 2009
Infrared light is typically measured in nanometers. Common ranges include 730nm, 850nm and 940nm. The higher the wavelength, the less likely there is any visible light produced. Certain types of cameras and night vision equipment must be used to enhance the human eyes’ ability to see with IR light. IR lights are commonly used with security cameras, which are typically tuned to capture images using IR light. However, the military continues to be the largest consumer of IR lights, in order to gain an advantage over adversaries who are not equipped with night vision gear. In effect, soldiers equipped with the IR lights and night vision equipment can easily see as well as they can during daylight hours. At the same time, the soldiers operate in stealth mode, since the enemy sees no visible light emissions. Finally, a growing number of varmint hunters are using IR lighting and night vision equipment to identify targets. IR lights are generally produced via filtering visible light or LED emitters tuned to produce only the desired wavelengths of light.
“Larson Electronics’ Magnalight.com offers a wide range of military field tested IR lights using both filtered visible light and IR LED emitters,” stated Rob Bresnahan, President of Larson Electronics. Our 1870-M-IR850 features a 35 watt High Intensity Discharge (HID) light source filtered by a coated borosilicate cover that produces 850nm light. This light is widely deployed in Iraq. We now offer an upgraded HID-65-50-S-IRC, which is a 50 watt HID spotlight with a snap on filter cover that enables to soldiers to use the light in visible mode or in covert infrared mode. We recently added a 940nm lens option to our HLC-IR HMMWV headlight cover, which is designed to fit over the headlights on the AM General military Humvees. So we have added several new options for filtered visible lights. We even released the HML-5M-IR-850 filter cover for our HML-5M magnetic handheld spotlight, which is part of the Escalation of Force Kit issued to every deployed soldier.”
Rob continued, “However, we made some significant advances in IR LED emitters, both in form and functions. Our LEDLB-24-VIR lights feature both visible and IR LEDS in the same light fixture. Separate power leads enable MRAP builders and operators to tie the visible LEDs to the black out system while leaving ongoing power to the IR LEDs. We offer this IR LED light with either 850nm or 940nm wavelength options and the light only draws 3 amps on 24 volts DC while covering an area 900 feet in length. Our LEDLB-4-IR is a small form factor LED Infrared light emitter that covers an area 90 feet long by 90 feet wide, while drawing only .5 amps on 24 volts. This light is being used as IR grill lights on larger convoy vehicles as well as military style ATVs due its small size, IP 67 watertight rating and durability. We just released our smallest IR emitter, measuring 2 inches by 2 inches by 2.5 inches, it is ideal IR trailing light for convoy type vehicles. The LEDLB-1-IR features a single 3 watt IR LED and is offered in 850nm and 940nm and draws only a ¼ amp on 12 volts and 1/8 amp on 24 volts.”
“For vehicle to vehicle portability, we have both IR and visible LED emitter lights with magnetic bases that can be plugged into a typical cigarette plug socket. The LEDLB-12-M-IR is a magnetically mounted, 36 watt IR LED light that produces a beam that covers an area 450 long and 125 feet wide. The amp draw with this IR LED light is 1.5 amps on 24 volts. On the visible side, the MRAPs operators are deploying our LED10W-6R which is a 60 watt LED light that reaches 1200 feet while drawing 2.5 amps on 24 volts. All of our LED lights operate on 9 to 32 volts DC, which makes them applicable to all types of vehicle systems, boats and deep cycle batteries. At this point, every branch of the US military is using our visible LED lights and/or our IR LED light emitters on some type of vehicle or boat. The feedback has been excellent. I think there is still an impression out there that LED lights produce very little power and distance. However, the industry and Larson Electronics have made significant improvements in LED technology. The LED lights in the past did little more than glow to a distance of 15 feet. Now, we have small form factor LED lights that easily reach 1500 feet with either visible light or IR light, while still taking advantage of the ultra-low amp draw consistent with LED technology,” Rob concluded.
Larson Electronics has a wide array of LED lights for vehicles, boats and industrial applications. As manufacturer of the HLM-5M magnetic spotlight included in the Escalation of Force kit, Larson Electronics continues to develop innovative, durable spotlights and flood lights for military and security applications.

Magnalight Adds Dimmable LED Spotlight for Hunting and Work Applications
Kemp, TX (Vocus) September 28, 2010
Larson Electronics’ mangalight.com revealed the latest addition to an extensive line of LED spotlights. The HL-85-10W1-D dimmable LED spotlight features a magnetic base, 16 foot detachable coil cord, cigarette plug and an inline PWM for dimming the LED light output. The new LED handheld spotlight operates on 9-42 Volts DC and draws less than 1 amp. Weighing less than 1 pound, the pistol grip style spotlight enables operators in hunting or work applications to adjust the intensity of the LED light output to best suit their requirements.
“Whether someone is hunting or working, this dimmable LED spotlight enables the operator to find the light output that doesn’t just illuminate the immediate area, but also allows their eyes to continue to adjust to the darkness around them,” said Rob Bresnahan with Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com. “Sometimes you need power and distance to identify objects at distance, but if you use that intense light on a nearby work area, your eyes lose their ability to see anything around you. So the key to this dimmable LED spotlight is that the operator can adjust the LED light output to the level that allows their eyes to adjust to the immediate work area and the surroundings. The time of night, cloud cover, the operator’s eye condition and other factors make the level of LED light dimming vary all the time. The operator can simply adjust the dial to create the appropriate level of light for their particular needs. Many operators use red filters or red light to achieve this same effect, but they lose intensity, distance and color correct object identification.”
Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com offers a wide variety of LED lighting, including explosion proof LED lights, LED hunting lights, LED boat lights and LED infrared lights. You can learn more about Larson Electronics at magnalight.com or 1-800-369-6671.

Magnalight.com Upgrades RCL360 to a 50 Watt HID Remote Controlled HID Spotlight for Marine, Industrial and Military Applications
Kemp, TX (Vocus) February 24, 2010
Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com announced that is now produces the RCL360-HID-RF-M wireless remote controlled spotlight with magnetic base with a 50 watt High Intensity Discharge (HID) ballast and bulb combination. This HID spotlight produces 4500 lumens and creates a bright, white beam that reaches 4,100 feet. Configured with a flood lens, the RCL360-HID-RF-M remote controlled spotlight can cover an area 425 feet wide and 425 feet long. Equipped with 400 pound grip magnetic base, a 16 foot coil cord with cigarette plug and wireless handheld remote control, this remote control spotlight is applicable to the utility, marine and military markets.
“At the moment, the RCL360-HID-RF-M is the most powerful remote controlled spotlight available for low voltage vehicle and boat applications,” said Rob Bresnahan with Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com. “This spotlight draws approximately 4 amps on 12 volts and 2 amps on 24 volts, making it extremely efficient. For operators working with 300 watt and 400 watt incandescent lighting on utility vehicles, military vehicles and boats, this light provides a brighter, whiter beam at only a tenth of the current draw. Equipped with a strong magnetic base and detachable cord that can be configured with a cigarette plug, battery ring terminals, alligator clips or even NATO connector, this remote controlled spotlight can meet the needs of most any low voltage application. The RCL360HID is also available in permanent mount with a wired dash joystick controller for applications where radio communications could interfere with IED jammers, radar configurations or certain types of two way radios.”
“We have been upgrading the Golight Stryker with a 35 watt HID bulb and ballast packages for more than a year,” continued Rob. “Now we are doing the same with the K&H Nightray spotlights. However, the Nightray spotlight is built for more industrial applications, like mining and oilfield applications. As such, it uses larger components and offers more room in the chassis. We are able to fit the larger ballast and starter into the housing and the main controller board has a higher amp rating which allows us to go with 50 or 70 watts. We also had to replace the lens and reflector to accommodate the heat produced by a 50 watt HID package and bring proper focus to the bulb. Finally, we have to make some adjustments to the receiver and other electrical components in the light to adjust for the interference put off by the ballast. Generally speaking, this is pretty major upgrade to the fixture, and the modifications add a few pounds to the light. However, the way this light is geared, it is designed to move much greater weights anyways. So, in the end, we actually do more modifications to the HID NIghtrays than we do to the HID Golights. The industrial design, US manufacturing and high quality components, creates a higher price point for the RCL360-HID series than the 3200 lumen HID Golight upgrades, like the GL-3049H-M or GL-3021H. Operators need to balance the application requirements with the cost. In both cases, operators will get more light, have longer lamp life and draw less current than comparable incandescent spotlights. There are significant differences in foot print, form factor and design that operators need to consider in choosing an HID Nightray or a HID Golight. We have all the specifications, dimensional drawings and manuals on magnalight.com to help operators to make that decision.”
“The most important aspect to these modifications is our experience and choice of components. In nearly 18 months of upgrading the HID Golights, we have never had a single bulb or ballast failure. The 50 watt components that we choose for the K&H Nightray upgrades are the same ilk, and we have been using these components in our 50 watt HID-6600 work lights for 3 years. So the components are solid and after working through our Golight HID upgrades for the last 8 months, we understand how to configure the spotlights for saltwater, extreme vibration and extreme temperatures. There are some very discrete details involved in upgrading these lights, that the Golight upgrades have revealed. In some cases, the design of the Nightray itself eliminates certain issues, like the ability to mount the light upside down. We even have this RCL360-HID-RF-M model mounted on helicopters without issue. It makes an ideal temporary lighting solution and the slip drive motors protect the light when the wind buffets it around. Once again, the low amp draw and beam output comparable to the 600 watt incandescent light replaced, were the compelling factors. “

Ranging from explosion proof lighting to high powered remote controlled spotlights, Larson Electronics offers a wide array of lighting solutions for low voltage and high voltage applications.

(PRWEB) January 4, 2006
According to e-AirCompressors.com, 12-volt air compressors are one of the most commonly used devices for lightweight jobs. Industries generally use engine-driven air compressors that run off of natural gas. They use these particular devices to save on the high-energy costs associated with running an air compressor. For those of us who only use an air compressor occasionally, a 12-volt air compressor is probably the best.
All terrain vehicle enthusiasts often use 12-volt air compressors for their off-road needs. You can often find adapters that enable the air compressor to be powered or charged from a vehicle’s cigarette lighter. This is a handy and accessible device for people who may not otherwise be located near an electrical power source in which to feed energy to their air compressor.
According to e-AirCompressors.com, 12-volt air compressors typically work in the same way as other models. Most of them, especially those that are certified by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), have advanced safety features. One difference in 12-volt air compressors and other types of air compressors is the power of the air emitted. Most regular users do not need the industrial strength powered air compressors for their everyday use.
Other than ATV enthusiasts, many other uses of 12-volt air compressors exist. People use them, along with attachments, for a variety of uses around the home. They can be used to power nail guns, staple guns, wrenches, spray guns and just about any other kind of tool you can think of. Some homeowners may wish to purchase a 12-volt air compressor if they often have do-it-yourself jobs while others prefer to rent a device. You can usually find devices for rent at most home improvement or hardware stores. It is important that you buy or rent an air compressor that has been certified by the ASME. Otherwise, you may receive a product with substandard workmanship that has not been tested for quality and safety.
About e-AirCompressors.com
Air Compressors provides detailed information about portable, industrial, engine-driven, 12 volt, and used air compressors, as well as air compressor parts, manufacturers, and more.
