REAR JUMBO COMBINATION LAMPS

Introducing the 595 series, from LED Autolamps

LED Autolamps says it is proud to announce the release of the latest addition to its Jumbo-sized rear combination lamp range. The new 595 series has been inspired by high-end sports cars, with Glow Track Design incorporated. LED Autolamps says the first thing you will notice is the distinctive sleek arrow-shaped diffused tail light lens specially designed to avoid hotspots, and an integrated reflex reflector; with both featured as standard on all models. “These lamps are shaped and styled for a dynamic look, but more importantly, make you shine brighter than all other vehicles on the road! This new benchmark for style and design will give a new choice in large truck/trailer lighting and more importantly have your customer’s vehicle and trailer looking amazing,” LED Autolamps General Manager, Michael Ottobre, said. “It won’t matter if it is a new fit or a replacement; there is an option that will suit your needs, and LED has all bases covered by offering the 595 series in two sizes and in three different styles.” The triple jumbo size reportedly has the exact same footprint as traditional or standard type jumbo lamps, measuring 595mm x 130mm x 45mm. The individual surface-mounted lamps measure 193mm x 123mm x 26mm and can be used as replacement inserts for the triple assembly in the unfortunate case a lens is damaged. When it comes to the three styles available, heading up the range is the standard coloured lens, available in a Stop/Tail/Indicator and a Stop/Tail/Indicator and reverse option. Also available is a clear lens black chrome option allowing you to “add some bling,” which also comes in a Stop/Tail/Indicator and reverse function. LED Autolamps says the last but most exciting style choice is its clear lens black chrome option with a dynamic sequential indicator, which Michael says is sure to add the wow factor to your application. “These lamps include specially designed integrated circuitry with the latest in LED lighting technology, lens optical design and a quality that’s second to none,” Michael said. “The real magic happens when in active mode, with super-bright stop lamps as well as indicator and reverse lamps with a diffused tail light giving all road users clear notice of your vehicle’s intentions. “Each lens houses high powered SMD LEDs and possesses a serviceable 12/24 dual voltage range, as well as low operational current draw, making them perfect for a wide variety of applications and battery systems.” LED Autolamps says that as well as exceeding the required standards with stringent ECE approvals, these lamps will also ensure your vehicle/trailer is road legal and compliant in all states of Australia. “LED Autolamps as always producing products designed and manufactured to last, so don’t worry, these lamps are extremely tough, constructed using UV resistant high impact plastics, and are sealed and tested to IP67 testing standards,” Michael said. “Vibration and impact resistance with no moving parts ensures these lights are made fit for purpose and up to any challenge in Australia’s harshest road environments. “Our entire operation is certified to ISO9001:2015, the internationally recognised Quality Management Standard, and our main production facility is certified to IATF16949:2016 standards – this is your guarantee of conformity of production, exceptional service, technical expertise, and dedicated after-sales care.” The 595 series range is supplied in a single blister pack for the individual lamps as well as a single hang/stand blister pack for the triple variations. LED Autolamps have also released the sequential range in a twin retail blister pack with handy function simulator buttons included. The lamps are covered by a five-year warranty.

DUAL SPEED WINCHES

Drivetech 4x4 speeds up a safe recovery

Drivetech 4x4’s range of Dual Speed Winches utilise a high and low speed gearbox, allowing off-roaders to safely recover a vehicle, then switch gears to quickly return the synthetic rope to the winch drum. Available in a 5.5 horsepower 9500lb and six horsepower 12000lb option, Drivetech 4x4 says its Dual Speed Winches are a practical, safe and powerful recovery necessity for any serious offroader. Drivetech 4x4 Manager, Ben Lavis, loves the feedback he has received to date about the winch range. “The dual speed is a simple concept, with many 4WDers hating having to wait so long for the rope to return to the winch. With the dual speed, you can almost halve the wait, then get back to the trails,” Ben said.

From isolation to total control

Having the right charging and maintenance tools for your 4WD’s batteries is essential for getting away. REDARC says with its advanced battery charging technology, you will always be one step ahead with a range of solutions to suit different requirements and budgets. REDARC states its Smart Battery Isolators have been available for a number of years and offer an effective approach for using your vehicle’s alternator to charge the second battery whilst the vehicle is running. A battery isolator will protect the start battery from going flat by sensing battery voltage. Only when the start battery reaches 13.2 volts on a 12-volt system, will it connect and start charging the secondary battery. When the engine is turned off, the isolator will disengage the secondary battery (as soon as the start battery drops below 12.7 volts). This will stop any loads connected to the auxiliary battery from also draining the start battery. For more flexibility, REDARC says an in-vehicle “The low speed gear ratio on both winches means a wide variety of vehicles can be recovered in a range of environments, even when a weeks’ worth of camping and touring gear is weighing them down.” Supplied with an aluminium hawse fairlead, isolation switch, 26 metres of synthetic rope, and three control box mounting options, the winch also has a two in one hand remote that can be operated through a hardwired connection, or wirelessly. “The remote is a feature that everyone is looking for. It provides another level of safety for users, allowing them to stand back at a safe distance during the recovery. Best of all, the winches still keep their IP67 rating with the remote,” Ben said. Another feature that cannot be overlooked is the three-stage planetary gear train, which delivers its

BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

high-torque output. DC-DC charger is recommended, such as its BCDC range. In the pursuit of efficiency, many modern alternators restrict their output once the vehicle has reached operating temperature. This is fine for your start battery and standard accessories but will often leave your auxiliary battery undercharged. BCDC chargers work with any type of alternator or vehicle voltage to ensure your auxiliary battery can reach 100 percent charge. They are suitable for most battery types, including Lithium, and accept solar inputs with an inbuilt Maximum Point Tracking (MPPT) solar regulator. REDARC says that to get the absolute most out of any dual battery setup, a battery management system (BMS) is required. A BMS has all the bells and whistles, combining the features and benefits of a Smart Battery Isolator, Dual Battery Charger and more. REDARC says its Manager30, for example, is six solutions in one and offers a variety of features unlike anything else in the market. It features a Drivetech 4x4 says this feature is important, because without the use of planetary gears, the winch can burn out quickly or underperform when you need it most. For the D9500 model, its low gear ratio is 201.6:1 providing up to 38.7 feet per minute line recovery. In high gear, you get a gear ratio of 100.8:1 which Drivetech 4x4 says returns an amazing 70.8 feet per minute line recovery. Conversely, the D12500 model with its low gear ratio of 230.4:1 provides up to 33.7 feet per minute line recovery. In high gear, you get a gear ratio of 115.2:1 which returns up to an impressive 64.2 feet per minute line recovery. With a contemporary red and black finish with chrome highlights, Drivetech 4x4 says its Dual Speed Winches are a great option for any off roader.

REDARC says its BCDC range and Manager30 both feature Green Power Priority and can charge from multiple sources simultaneously. If 12-volt solar power is available, solar power will be used before topping up the output charging current from another source such as mains 240-volt (if available) or DC vehicle power when on the move. REDARC says you should refer to the battery manufacturers’ data sheet and visit www.redarc.com.au to find the best charging solution for your setup.
