RUGGED LIGHTING TECHNOLOGY FOR JOB SITES M ilwaukee’s high-output LED light- ing offers full-day run-times in portable packages, utilising ad- vanced technology to deliver consistent beams, optimised colour temperature, and true colour representation, all integral to ensuring more productive work areas and job sites in the construction and related trade industries. This is according to leading Southern African distributor Upat of Johannesburg, which carries a large range of Milwaukee lighting technologies. Upat Product Specialist Werner Koch notes that Milwaukee lighting is designed specifically to be able to withstand the rigours of daily professional use, while also shining brighter, and lasting longer, than traditional lighting solutions. “Lighting is a critical factor on any job site, as workers need to be able to see properly in order to carry out their work safely and correctly,” Koch points out. It is for this reason that Milwaukee has invested significantly in the development of its lighting solutions. It has over 40 engineers in its research and development team worldwide, dedicated solely to the development of LED lighting systems. The full Milwaukee lighting range comprises personal, area, and stand lights. Personal lights, for example, include spotlights and inspection lights, with lanyard or clamp options for attachment to metal boxes or roof trusses. Global patents include the TrueView white-light system that essentially replicates natural sunlight. This is particularly important for electricians working on distribution boards, where traditional halogen lighting can result in colour-blending, making everything appear either green or blue. In addition, TrueView draws minimal current, and can therefore run for up to eight hours a day off a single battery pack, while simultaneously providing the user with a high light output of up to 2 000 lumens. It is also extremely durable, shock-proof, and IP54-rated against dust or water.
