    Rite-Hite HD-LED Dock Light


    Did you know that Congress passed an energy bill that bans the incandescent light bulb by 2014?

    The phase-out of incandescent light is to begin with the 100-watt bulb by 2012 and end in 2014 with the 40-watt. The legislation is designed to boost the energy efficiency of most every day products and tools, including those used at the loading dock.

    All bulbs must use 25 percent to 30 percent less by 2014. By 2020, bulbs must be 70 percent more efficient than they are today. The answer to incandescent? Light-emitting diode, or LED lighting.






    LED Dock Lights

    Rite-Lite HD-LED Dock Light

    Brighter Light, Lower Energy Costs. Rite-Hite combined state-of-the-art technology with a heavy-duty design to completely illuminate the entire length of the trailer, using a whopping 90% less energy than a standard 150 watt bulb. The type of bulb Congress recently banned, by the way! The Rite-Lite HD-LED Dock Light has a minimum life of 50,000 hours, eliminating the need to replace over and over. Combine that with your energy savings, and you could save up to $80, per light, per year!
