July 19, 2012 – Lind says its new LE970LED 50W portable LED floodlight provides bright white light—equivalent to a 500W quartz halogen—but with 90% less energy usage, and no problems with heat or replacing bulbs. The LE970LED is built with a weatherproof cast-aluminum housing and tempered glass lens. The light temperature is 4500K, making its light suitable indoors or out. The LED technology is designed to provide up to 50,000 hours of runtime, says Lind, and can start up instantly in the coldest temperatures (CHECK OUT the VIDEO below). It is suitable for remote workplaces where energy consumption is at a premium, such as mines, construction and generator-powered sites. It also works well in tight work areas, such as tank manufacturing, where contact with the light is a concern. The unit is available through Lind’s network of industrial and electrical distributors throughout Canada.
