Delivering 16,544 lumens, the T16 Evolution is re-engineered and re-designed for 2017/8 to provide more light, better range, and increased spread of light, with the peace of mind that the build quality has been even further enhanced to ensure trouble-free operation for well beyond the standard 5year warranty. At 684mm, the lamp is ideal for customers looking for a low profile off-road lighting solution that still manages to pack real punch, or for road customers looking for a full-size grille install that works off an independent switch.
Upgraded high-density 11W LEDs are carefully selected for their high ‘bin’ rating, are the driving force behind the lamps enviable performance – 1 lux is achieved at 555m. Advanced electronic design, combined with sophisticated thermal management systems, and ultra-reflective vacuum-metallised reflectors, harness the light output into a ‘Drive’ beam pattern optimised for lower speed applications where the priority is for good all-round visibility, albeit still with enviable distance illumination. The colour temperature of the LEDs at 5000 kelvin has also been specifically selected to maximise sharpness and definition, while proven to reduce eye-strain associated with some higher (blue-white) colour temperatures.
Performance aside, the T16 Evolution is built to last. With a 5 year warranty as standard, and a lifetime guarantee on the ‘unbreakable’ polycarbonate lens, which is coated with a hardcoat lacquer to protect against any scratches, the lamp is capable of withstanding the harshest environments. An IP69K rating certifies the lamp will not be subjected to moisture or dust ingress, with additional counter-measures to ensure the unit remains fully contained even in the most extreme of temperatures and humidity. The full aluminium housing gives the lamp its strength and rigidity, while an e-coat pre-treatment provides automotive quality corrosion resistance. Dynamic drive modulation optimises light output considering the thermal conditions of the lamp (preserving the longevity of the LEDs).
With a seamless, low profile design, the new T Evolution range is now not only easier to install, but is more resistant to dirt, snow and ice accumulations, and the contemporary styling is guaranteed to complement and enhance the appearance of modern vehicles.
