Grote Industries, a world leader in high-performance LED lighting technology for the
transportation industry, recently announced the expansion of its popular
SuperNova NexGen LED lamp offering, with the introduction of its new integrated
flange four-inch stop/tail/turn and dual-system back-up
lamps.
The new lamps feature a
one-piece integrated flange design that mounts directly to the surface of a
vehicle, eliminating the need for accessory mounting brackets or grommets. The
lighting systems come with a cushioning gasket seal that keeps water and debris
from getting behind the lamp while functioning as a shock absorbing mechanism.
The design also incorporates an extremely robust, hermetic, lens-to-housing
seal that resists moisture intrusion that would result in component
corrosion.
“The integrated flange
design is the most versatile and cost effective addition to the premium,
SuperNova NexGen LED product family to date,” said Randy Staggs, Grote’s
business development manager for signal lighting. “OEMs will benefit from
improved assembly efficiency, while fleets and other end-users will incur
simplified repair and replacement requirements.”
Grote’s SuperNova line is
recognized for its high performance and the lamps are designed to be extremely
durable. Each lamp is designed with an environmental encapsulant potting that
cradles the lamp’s solid-state circuit board and protects it from moisture and
vibration.
The lamps’ innovative
optical lens design reduces theft potential by intentionally resembling
incandescent versions, but their performance on the road is nothing like their
incandescent predecessors. According to the company, Grote’s SuperNova NexGen LEDs illuminate 200
milliseconds faster than incandescent bulbs. This faster turn-on time provides
a safety benefit to the driver of the following vehicle, which can amount to
more than a full car length of extra stopping distance at 65 mph.
Both the flanged
four-inch stop/tail/turn and flanged dual-system back-up lamps are available
with hard-shell and male-pin termination options, which allow them to make use
of existing pigtails for installation flexibility and cost effective
retrofitting.
The flanged four-inch
stop/tail/turn lamps and flanged dual-system back-up lamps have durable acrylic
lenses and housings composed of hard-coated polycarbonate material. As new
members of the SuperNova NexGen product line, both lamps carry Grote’s
exclusive 10-year warranty.
Grote’s flanged four-inch
stop/tail/turn lamps and flanged dual-system back-up lamps, plus other advanced
Grote LED vehicle lighting products are available at www.grote.com.
