In 1802 Sir Humphrey Davy created the first incandescent light, little did he know the evolutionary trail he had begun would stretch into 3 centuries and people would still be striving to create brighter, more efficient and more durable products today.

So where has the trail led Labcraft in 2008? Well the recent Launch of the new Microlux interior light has fused state of the art LED technology with affordable durability to create one of the brightest, yet most cost effective interior lighting products for the commercial vehicle market.

The light unit is the first light to use the new Cree LED device and utilises two LED’s in a very compact package. Each LED will offer a minimum of 100 lumens and with the latest optical lens techniques means the spread of light is projected further than ever before. In fact this is the first LED lamp sub £30 that can illuminate a 13m trailer to health and safety recommended light levels. Being just 15mm in depth the Microlux can be fitted almost anywhere with little risk of being damaged or causing an obstruction to people or goods. You should never say never so special attention has been to insure that if the light is struck it deflects blows minimising the risk of being dislodged from its fixings.

The Microlux is a power LED product meaning the average life of the light will be in excess of 60,000 hours. To put this into perspective, if the light was on for 8 hours a day for 365 days a year this would offer a life span of more than 20 years. So it lasts a very long time, but it will also take care of your batteries in this time because it will only draw 0.12 amps at 24v (10 times less than a tungsten bulb).

To evolve with technology Labcraft takes great care in sourcing component parts that will also move with the times and if a product is new and cutting edge now, it also has to be in 12 months time or something will come along and takes its place.
