Truck-Lite has released its Super 80 LED interior trailer lamps.
Super LED lamp
Truck-Lite has released its Super 80 LED interior trailer lamps, a line of brighter, white LED lamps designed to be direct replacements for many popular sizes and shapes. Each diode in the Super 80 consumes one-third the current of those in the Model 80, but the company says the Super 80’s 10-diode array almost doubles the useable light produced by its predecessor. The Super 80 lamp is up to four times brighter than the incandescent lamps it replaces, according to Truck-Lite. The aluminum housing weighs in at two pounds and has a recommended cutout of 16-by-4 inches; they are 1.1-inch thick, compared with 1 5/8-inch fluorescents, which leaves 1/2-inch more clearance for loads or loading equipment, the company points out. The lamp, which protrudes 0.1 inch above the mounting surface, is designed with a potting material that completely encapsulates the LED’s circuit board to facilitate resistance to shock, vibration and fluids from cleaning activities. Truck-Lite says the Super 80 will function from 7V to 16V, and its 10 LEDs will reach full brightness at 9.5V, helping to eliminate problems of low voltage.

Re-engineered compressor line
Everco Heavy Duty says its line of re-engineered compressors now contain ICE32, an additive for air-conditioning system lubricants designed to extend compressor life and improve the overall performance of mobile A/C systems by reducing friction and protecting metal surfaces. ICE32, which the company says is environmentally safe and contains no chlorinated compounds, is formulated to work year-round; it provides cooler air due to increased heat transfer, allowing the vehicle interior to cool faster while reducing humidity, according to Everco.

Winter biodiesel treatments
In addition to providing superior cold weather protection, Penray says its reformulated Winter Pow-R Plus Biodiesel Fuel Treatment contains additives to help improve cetane, lubricity and fuel economy, as well as to help reduce emissions. According to the company, the fuel treatment – which is ultra-low-sulfur diesel-compliant and works in everything from B2 to B20 – improves cold-weather starting by preventing fuel gelling and ice crystal formation, reduces cold filter plug point by as much as 30 degrees Fahrenheit, stabilizes fuel and prevents corrosion.
