Radiant tackles loadshedding with new LED rechargeable range

Lighting manufacturer Radiant has un veiled its new range of LED lights that combat loadshedding head-on with up to 6 hours of operation time. The T8 tubes are available in 600mm, 1 200 mm and 1 500 mm, featuring 3.7V lithium-ion batteries that require 15 hours of charging time and deliver up to 6 hours of illumination during loadshedding periods. The RD330 emergency downlights feature the same battery that provides three hours of running time, but there is advanced technology in the LED’s engine. The downlights are dimmable and can operate at 100% illumination, 50% and 25% – users can get up to 12 hours of lighting if the RD330 operates at 25% lighting power. Radiant has also unveiled a range of multifunction rechargeable flash lights and lanterns, all featuring micro USB chargers and variable brightness settings. They have a 1W integrated LED that provides 6 500L colour tem perature and up to 80 lumens on high setting. The flashlights and lanterns require a 3-4 hour charge time and can offer up to 8 hours of lighting if used on low settings.
