1100LED UTV / SxS Driving Lamp |
Portland, OR (2/15/2012) - PIAA
Corporation has introduced the new 1100LED driving
lamps that offer high output illumination for
optimum sighting and visibility, but which draw
significantly less power than H.I.D. or Halogen
lamps. The 1100LED, designed principally for the
Powersports lighting market, requires only one
amp per light at 12 volts. Each lamp includes
three four-watt high output LED bulbs.
Designed as aftermarket replacement driving
lamps for motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, and snowmobiles,
the PIAA 1100LED lamps feature innovative computer-controlled
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technology that
provides optimal thermal protection for longer
life and greater performance. The in-lamp monitor
modulates the length of the pulse up to 250
pulses per second, based on power and temperature
situations.
The PIAA (pronounced pe'-uh) 1100LED lamps
take their styling and lighting performance
cues from the popular PIAA 1100x lamps, which
have been a staple of the PIAA line up for years.
Gordon Robertson, Vice President of Sales for
PIAA Powersports explains that PIAA developed
the new 1100LED driving lamps as a quality alternative
for those vehicle owners who are attracted to
the visual appearance and low-heat attributes
of LED lighting.
Robertson says, “With the introduction
of PIAA 1100LED driving lamps, we’re now
offering vehicle owners the convenient choice
of outfitting their Powersports vehicles with
high-quality LED lamps, because the 1100LED
lamps fit into the exact same mounting locations
and on the exact same PIAA brackets as the 1100X
lamps.”
The compact PIAA 1100LED lamps, with 3-mm high-impact
clear glass lens, illuminate road surfaces with
a brilliant bluish-white color (6300 Kelvin)
that is the closest yet to sunlight. They provide
improved nighttime visibility and also serve
to make the vehicle and its driver much more
conspicuous to daytime traffic for added safety.
Additionally, the PIAA 1100LED driving lamps
emit light in a symmetrical pattern, helping
to ensure there is no loss of visibility for
the vehicle’s rider when leaning into
a turn. Robertson says, “Good lighting
every inch of the ride is critical for fast,
nighttime Powersports driving. The PIAA 1100X
lamps provide that added measure of safety,
whether you’re driving a motorcycle, ATV,
UTV, or snowmobile.”
To help ensure optimal heat dissipation, PIAA
1100LED lamps are designed to operate at vehicle
speeds as low as 4 mph. Two sensors, located
on the LED mounting board inside the lamp, provide
heat protection for the lamps by reducing power
to the LEDs during extreme temperature situations.
O-ring seals, located at the lens and housing
seams, protect the lamp’s electronic components
and also prevent moisture build-up.
The lamps also feature CNC machined die-cast
aluminum front and rear housings. The finned
rear housing allows natural rearward LED heat
dissipation, which helps contribute to longer
bulb life.
The ideal range of operation for the PIAA 1100LED
driving lamps is 11.1v to 16v, with an operation
threshold of 8v to 16v.
The PIAA 1100LED two-lamp kit (part number
73122) includes aluminum housings, chrome-plated
trim rings, clear glass lens, and three four-watt
LED bulbs in each driving lamp. The wiring harness
(part number 78901) is included in the kit.
