Grote Industries’ newest lamp should shed more light on work spaces and environments common to utility trucks, fifth wheels, forklifts and off-road vehicles, to name a few. The market’s first purpose-built Hook-Up lamp, according to the company, features an advanced optical design that focuses brighter, more usable LED light across a work space. The 12-volt lamp, which can replace two incandescent lamps, is rated for 50,000 hours of service, emits less heat than incandescent lamps and draws significantly lower amperage than incandescent offerings, reducing the load on a vehicles’ electrical system.

Innovative Optical Design Provides More Light, Reduces Energy

Grote Industries, a maker of high-performance LED lighting technology for the transportation industry, released the market’s first purpose-built Hook-Up Lamp, the company said.

According to the company, before now, one or two incandescent hook-up lamps were often mounted on the rear of the cab to illuminate the work area between a tractor and trailer. Traditional hook-up lamps employ primitive optics that often cause a bright spot at the center of the beam pattern with usable light rapidly diminishing as the beam spreads.
