HELLA, operating under the FORVIA umbrella, will present several new products at CONEXPO 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada. As a U.S. product introduction, HELLA will be presenting a brand-new C240 LED combination headlamp to the broader public for the first time. The combination headlamp features several functions, such as low beam, high beam, position light, daytime running light, hazard warning and front turn signal.
The housing and lens are made of impact-resistant plastic. The combination headlamp is also vibration-resistant, dustproof and waterproof. A DEUTSCH DT connector and an ISO pulse indicator failure check supports functional safety requirements. In addition, the C240 is available in both ECE and SAE versions.
S-series Work Lamps with LED technology
The work lamps in this series offer LED technology and complement the Module 70, Module 90 and Power Beam work lamp families. The work lamp provides homogeneous illumination with a color temperature of around 6,500 Kelvin, which is similar to daylight. The integrated electronics protect the device in case of polarity reversal and promotes constant brightness even with the operating voltage fluctuating between 9 to 32 volts DC. Depending on the model, the S-series is available with a round or square design and is offered as a surface mounted or recessed version. The Module 70 and Power Beam models are available in 1,000- and 1,850-lumen versions. Module 90 is available in 1,850- and 4,000-lumen versions.
The universal and slim design allows vehicle manufacturers to convert existing halogen work lamps to LED technology. The housing and the lens are made of plastic, which not only reduce weight but is also highly corrosion resistant. The new cooling fin design supports heat dissipation in outdoor environments. The S-series work lamps are available in close-range and long-range illumination. Further model and illumination variants are under development.
Smart Lighting Solutions for Heavy-duty Applications
With the RokLUME 280N SMART, HELLA is presenting another highlight for heavy-duty applications at CONEXPO. The RokLUME 280N SMART can be used in mining and construction sites. With its light settings, the intelligent work lamp changes the color temperature from warm to cool white and the light color to green or amber, depending on the variant. This adjustment of the light color is designed to address visibility issues caused by dust, snow or fog. In addition, the brightness level can be adjusted to the current lighting conditions using the dimming function. The work lamp has six illumination options, including ZEROGLARE with a new patent-pending reflector. The work lamp can be operated using the HELLA control panel or the Human Machine Interface (HMI) in the vehicle.
Conventional work lamps can be replaced with the intelligent RokLUME 280N SMART. Powerline communication (PLC) enables the control unit (gateway) to communicate with the work lamps over the existing harness without interference and no changes to the vehicle architecture. Unplanned downtime is prevented with the lifetime management function, which gives a warning before the work lamp's lifetime expires. Anti-theft protection and a memory function for storing individual illumination settings are also integrated. With Gateway Prime, the vehicle can also be equipped with a cornering light function.
RokLUME 280N Generation 2 Work Lamp
Another HELLA highlight is the RokLUME 280N work lamp for heavy-duty applications. The RokLUME 280N Generation 2 series work lamps are for harsh mining environments and heavy-duty applications. The product generates high light output of up to 5,000 lumens and has six illumination options, including a tunnel floodlight. Its energy consumption is just 50 watts. The housing of the RokLUME 280N Generation 2 work lamp is made of die-cast aluminum with a corrosion-resistant NanoSafe coating for protection in harsh environments. All work lamps in the series can be mounted upright, suspended and horizontally positioned thanks to a centered bracket.
In addition to the highlights mentioned, HELLA will present its complete product portfolio ranging from front and rear lighting, VISIOTECH projection technology and warning lights to electrical and electronic products.
