Choosing the Best Loading Dock Lights

Choosing the Best Loading Dock Lights

When choosing the best loading dock lights to protect your facility there are a few different key factors to keep in mind. To ensure that you are getting the proper dock lights at the best price follow these helpful tips.

Know your type:

• The Folding Arm - With its incredible design, construction, and performance, the Tri Lie loading dock light offers flexibility at a great price. You can choose from a 40-inch or 60-inch extension to illuminate a greater area.

• The Double Strut - When looking for a stronger model that can hold in a horizontal position the Double Strut model is your best bet. This design features bronzed sintered bearings for all rotating points, 1 1/2 inch 14 gauge square tubing that will easily prevent sagging, and easily adjustable pivot friction to help hold any position. The safety-yellow finish on the lamp head and struts offers an extra level of protection as well.

• High-Pressure Sodium - To get more light out of the same sources or to use fewer lamps to achieve a similar illumination, The Overhead Door Company offers all of our dock lights with a high-pressure sodium head upgrade. These heads give you a whopping 500w of power and up to 24,000 hours of life with an energy usage of just 50w. You can easily conserve energy and save money all at the same time.

• Fan Accessory - It's also a good idea to add the convenience of air cooling to intensely warm work areas on all DL series lights.
