Saves Energy -
Improves Safety
Sensor technology, developed with the world's leading security lighting manufacturer, has been specifically designed for use in loading dock lighting applications.
This exclusive technology saves energy by activating the light only when the dock is in use and uses the best light source available. Never again will your dock lights waste energy because they were left on all day long. Energy savings alone could nearly pay for the cost of this fixture in less than one year. Plus, with this powerful quartz halogen light source, you get the optimum in safety and worker accuracy.
Our sensor control means dock safety. Due to our oversized wire guard and sensor controlled automatic shut-off, you no longer need to fear scorched, melted or burnt dock doors and seals from a dock light. Heat build up with our fixture is eliminated by adjusting the sensor timer to a minimum activation time.
Why is quartz halogen the best light source? A properly focused 500 watt quartz halogen light gives the bright white light needed to illuminate the rear of 50 ft. long trailers. It reaches to full power instantly and its high CRI, (Color Rendering Index), means that product identifications are easier to read. This will result in fewer shipping errors due to misread UPC codes.
The benefits and advantages are clear. Automatic ON/OFF so the light is on only when the dock is in use. Bright, white light promoting safety and accuracy.
Compare and Save
In a comparison of annual operating costs of our quartz halogen sensor dock light -vs- a standard quartz halogen light, the savings are dramatic.
Figuring the cost of energy and replacement lamps, you can save well over $200. per year - per light. That equates to $4000. per year savings for every 20 lights in your facility!
These savings do not include the fact that you'll only need to send your electrician out to install new lamps every 22 months. This is additional savings in labor and down-time at the dock.
Don't just take our word for it. Run the numbers yourself. To get our figures we used: .5KW (500 watt lamp) x $.08 per KW hour (cost of energy) x 24 (working hours per day) x 265 (working days per year). This will equal $254.40/yr. in energy cost. If the sensor reduces operation time by just 50%, savings will be well over $100. per fixture.
Estimate how much less time your dock lights will be running. Keep in mind the problem that so many facilities face. Lights are turned on at the start of a shift and may not go off for hours, perhaps even days. As you've just read, this leads to a dramatic expense due to wasted energy and premature lamp failures. Using our sensor equipped fixture guarantees that it will only be operating for the length of time that you pre-set.
