HELLA Release 470mm LED Light Bar

After the success of the HELLA LED Light Bar 350, HELLA is introducing the longer and brighter brother, the LED Light Bar 470. The new lamp features all the outstanding properties of the previous model plus an additional four high performance automotive standard LED’s and a maximum luminous intensity of 166,000 candela at a power consumption of only 35 watts.

Environmental, Weight and Performance

The dust and waterproof IP69 Light Bar comes in two different beam patterns – High Beam (Ref. 25 with 1 lux at approx. 330 metres) and Pencil Beam (Ref. 37.5 with 1 lux at approx. 410 metres). With only 950g weight the Light Bar is particularly popular for roof mount applications on ATV’s and Off-road vehicles.

Mounting The Lampware

The non corrosive, thermally conductive housing is highly resistant to degradation and due to its slim profile, this streamline Light Bar is ideal for applications where aerodynamic styling are a valued attribute. The flexible, adjustable mounting system ensures easy installation including the ability to “double stack” the light bar.

The Light Bar features a Multivolt™ circuit for optimum brightness at a wide range of input voltages from 9 to 33 volts and is fully road legal with ECE approval.

• 16 high performance automotive grade LEDs
• Maximum luminous intensity of 166,000 candela
• Approved for use in New Zealand and Australia
• Low power consumption
• Highly adaptable mounting system
• Thermally conductive non-metal housing
• Light weight of only 950g

hella-barhawk-470mmRevolutionary Housing Material Sets New Benchmark

Pioneering innovative lighting solutions is our passion.  HELLA’s new materials unlock luminaire performance to weight ratios never before possible. HELLA manufacture ultra-light but robust and highly durable products with benchmark light performance.

The revolutionary new plastic ceramic materials with outstanding thermal performance open a world of possibilities never thought achievable only a few years ago. The replacement of metal based housing heat-sinks with thermally conductive plastic not only opens a myriad of design options, but also means they are completely corrosion resistant…means much, much longer life of the product.

This is especially important in demanding environments of marine and 4×4 off raod conditions. The unrelenting corrosive salt laden marine environment as mentioned will not effect this products performance and HELLA are offering a full 5 year warranty.

Less metal also means less weight: The  HELLA Barhawk LED light bar with thermally conductive plastic are up to 60% lighter than comparable metal bodied lamps. The much lower mass significantly reduces the stress on mounting points in high vibration and shock applications.

A Lamp housing made from thermally conductive plastic works much the same as the previously used metal housings. The world leading and innovative ceramic based plastic transfers the heat generated by the LED’s and drive electronic to the outside of the lamp body, thereby lowering the internal thermal stress on the component. This in turn ensures a long service life with minimal degradation of the LED’s.  HELLA use CoolPoly® for thermally conductive lamp housings, which is some 30 times more conductive than conventional plastic.  This is truly cutting edge technology.  Most other light bars use a powder coated metallic/aluminum housing.  In short they will corrode over time and break down.

HELLA Lifetime Warranty for all DuraLED Lamp-ware

Martin Reinbach Managing Director Hella New Zealand
Martin Reinbach- Managing Director HELLA NZ

From the 1st September products that carry the DuraLED® name are designed to outlast the life of the vehicle. Whilst keeping its design heritage and appearance the DuraLED® range has been continuously upgraded to the latest material and electronic component technology. This has not been against the general trend of all transport and auto lighting and lamp-ware; the general trend is to reduce cost and quality, creating poor performing and lower quality parts.

Hella’s product engineering, design, process and product development is the best in the world. You will have this for the life of the vehicle-guaranteed! As a premium supplier of lamp-ware and lighting we have never had one issue with Hella and their second to none product support.

HELLA’s radical pursuit to create a range of ‘Fit and Forget’, highly visible LED Marker and Signal Lamps, permanently lowered the cost of ownership for our fleets and made our roads safer. ‘Fit & Forget’ by Design is a HELLA no compromise philosophy and commitment to design for long-term durability and safety.

Economic Sense Meets Environmental Choice With High Performance Outcomes

In a world where the conservation of precious resources and the development of renewable energy sources are given prominence by scientists and decision makers, energy efficient LED lighting has a substantial role to play towards lowering the global carbon footprint without sacrificing functionality or compromising safety.

In addition to the conservation of energy, HELLA LED products are deliberately designed to be long-term durable in performance. Much of this durability however depends on the component and material choices of the designer /manufacturer.

With global price pressures at a peak there is significant motivation for manufacturers to cut cost, using inferior materials that fade or embrittle over time, many also using sealing systems than can fail over time or electronic components which are stressed to close to their limits. These end often in catastrophic failure of the lamp, creating down time and seriously reducing safety with the potential for serious or even fatal accidents.

The HELLA designers of the DuraLED® range of products have made no such trade-offs. The design DuraLED® range has been nothing short of exhaustive in the pursuit of excellence. All components, sealing systems and material choices to ensure a very long useful economic life
