The Protecta III has now been redesigned to accept LEDs,bringing forward benefits such as the extended life and low maintenance features which are key to the oil and gas industry. Expected useful life to 70% of the initial lumens is 110,000 hours, but even when this is achieved the geartray which the LEDs are mounted on can be replaced, similar to a traditional lamp change. The LEDs are more powerful in lumens per watt figures than all fluorescent tubes, proving that LED technology is now truly a viable alternative.
One of the main benefits of LEDs is their ability to maintain a steady lumen output across the complete ambient temperature range and at low temperatures they greatly out perform fluorescent lamps. The complete geartray assembly which includes the LEDs and driver can be retro-fitted into existing Protecta III fluorescent
product – bringing the existing enclosure up to date with the very latest technology. The proven track record of the very robust enclosure is not compromised as the complete enclosure remains unchanged.
