Grote Industries has released its new 61F61 Infrared Motion-Activated LED Dome Lamp to the marketplace. The new lamp is aimed at the refrigerated transport market.

"Grote is the undisputed leader in interior LED lighting for the refrigerated transport sector," said Scott Robertson, product manager of forward and interior lighting at Grote Industries. "Our new 61F61 was designed specifically with the challenges of the reefer environment in mind."

The new lamp was built to block out moisture that's caused by humidity levels. The same humidity can cause corrosion in on-off switches, so Grote made the lamp to operate without the switches.

"This dome lamp removes the on-off switch from the equation, along with inevitable loose wires, additional parts and installation time," Robertson said. "Even if the end-user chooses to retain an on-off switch and simply leaves it in the on position, the reduced use will help extend its life."

The 61F61's passive infrared motion sensor is calibrated to recognize the human heat signature, so when a person moves within six feet, they activate the lamp. The lamp remains on while activity is detected and stays on for three minutes following the last human motion.

The energy-efficient, 800-lumen 61F61 is designed to extend a vehicle's battery life by reducing its exposure to power draws during prolonged stops, Grote says. With the 61F61, there is no power draw unless there is worker movement within the vehicle.

Shifting loads and falling objects will not activate the motion sensor, and the lamp is engineered to operate in brutal temperatures. The 61F61 is made with a durable aluminum housing, a tough, replaceable, acrylic lens and a self-resetting internal cut-off switch to protect against excessive current.
