The LEDWL-FKLT-BLUE Forklift Warning Spotlight is designed to warn pedestrians and bystanders when in the path of an oncoming
forklift. This ultra compact LED light produces a 2,250 lumen output with low amp draw, 50,000 hour service life, and 9 to 60 volt
compatibility providing operators with a versatile and powerful forklift warning safety light.
The LEDWL-FKLT-BLUE Blue LED Forklift Safety Light from Larson Electronics produces 2250 lumen of sharp blue light while drawing 2.09
amps from a 12 volt electrical system. Five 5-watt blue LED producing 450 lumens each are combined with high output parabolic reflector to
produce a narrow 5° degree spread spot beam, providing a high intensity center beam which is visible during daytime and nighttime operations.
This particular unit is ultra compact at only 6" tall by 3.91" wide by 3.36" deep, which makes it ideal for applications where electrical power and
mounting space is at a premium.

Standard forklift warning systems consist of strobe lights or audible alarms. Strobe lights may not always be visible with high illumination
settings. The strobe lights on forklifts, depending on the position of the light, can be a hindrance to the forklift operator by reducing the visibility
due to continual contrasting from the strobe light. Audible alarms, such as backup alarms, are the most disliked warning system for forklifts,
especially operators and pedestrians within work forces that have to listen to this alarm continually throughout the work day. Both strobe lights
and audible alarms are often ignored due to conditioning of the warning system from day to day exposure. The LEDWL-FKLT-BLUE addresses
both the above issues, providing a new system that is not obnoxious and will not get on the nerves of employees, while providing the warning
indication required by OSHA to keep employees and pedestrians within the work force safe.
Durability: The LEDWL-FKLT series LED lights Larson Electronics offer IP67 rated construction that is designed to withstand the rigors of
demanding of environmental and operating conditions yet are lighter and smaller than our LEDLB-E series of extreme duty light bars. The this
series is designed to provide a low profile, light weight, high performance light bar that can be mounted where other lights will not fit. These
units can operate in temperatures of -40° Celsius to 80° Celsius, are waterproof to 1 meter and resist ingress of dust, dirt and humidity. The
housings are formed from extruded aluminum and the lenses are unbreakable polycarbonate. The LEDs offer inherent LED resistance to shocks
and vibrations contributing to these units 15.6Grms rating of vibration tolerance.
Heat Management: Heat is the single largest factor in premature LED failure and color shifting. These LED units contain advanced drivers
which use pulse width modulation to control heat buildup rather than simple voltage regulators which are typically harsh on sensitive electronics
and can contribute to early LED failure. These units automatically sense the temperature of each LED and adjust the energy frequency or “duty
cycle” accordingly to maintain heat levels within acceptable ranges. This system in essence flashes current at an extremely fast on and off rate
to each LED based upon the LED’s core temperature. This flash rate is too fast to detect with the human eye, but provides precise control of the
current flowing to each LED and thus the heat it generates. This allows the LEDs to be driven at up to 100% capacity without overheating or
visible loss of light output. The LEDs are always driven at the same voltage but the duty cycle, however, is changed to alter how long the LEDs
are actually on or off. The end result is more light with less heat and longer LED life with an average 70% lumen maintenance after 50,000
hours.
