New Durable Docklight

Magic Lite is pleased to announce a new addition to the EFO family, the Durable Docklight. This is an impact resistant, energy efficient fiber optic dock lighting system with a 10,000 hour lamp life! Utilizing the revolutionary EFO technology, the Durable Docklight delivers crisp, white light into two adjacent trailer beds using only 80 watts of electricity. This sytem can replace the fixture heads existing in docklight arms usually within 30 minutes.

Because this fixture is impact resistant, a direct impact to the fixture will not extinguish the light because the lamp is located in the illuminator that is positioned away from the fixture. Also, the loading dock work area remains clean and safe and the sensitive areas for off-loading food can be safeguarded against being contaminated by broken glass.

The Durable Docklight can reduce energy use by 60 %. This fixture emits light but has no heat or electricity. Conventional dock lights relamp approximately every 1,000 hours due to breakage or burnout. The Durable Docklight lasts for 10,000 hours resulting in a 95 % reduction in lamp maintenance!

New LED Pane Installation


Magic Lite's new LED PANES were installed at several Laurentian Bank branches in and around the Montreal area. In the application illustrated here, a total of twelve LED PANES were mounted in a custom frame, creating a unique architectural feature.

Each individual LED PANE is 60 cm by 60 cm and only 14.5 cm thick. Electrical specifications are as follows:

  • Input Voltage: AC100-240V
  • Operating Voltage: DC12V
  • Operating Current: 2.8A at 12V
  • Max. Power: 33.6W
  • All twelve of the LED PANES are powered by a single controller.

There are a total of 288 LED's in each PANE - each LED is positioned at a certain specific angle to the inner surface of the milky white cover. Light emitted is reflected to provide a colour-mixed light through the cover. The LED PANES are capable of a multitude of colour changing effects such as single direction fast or slow, double direction fast or slow, multi colour chase to name a few.

Watch for these and many other exciting LED products that are outlined in our new LED Solutions that Work catalogue available in April 2005. If you do not received your copy, please contact Debbie (debbie@magiclite.com) and she will have one forwarded to you.
