Agriculture LED work light: an increase in use

In recent years, the use of LED work lights in agriculture has increased significantly. We at TRALERT® think this makes perfect sense. LED work lights offer quite a few advantages when compared, for example, to traditional halogen work lights. If we look, for example, at the housing of LED work lights for agriculture, it is striking that in most cases the work lights are fitted with a robust aluminium housing. The main advantage of this is that the lights can withstand a fair bit of knocks and bumps. This is in contrast to traditional halogen work lights or cheap LED work lights. In addition to the lamp housing, agricultural LED work lights also offer higher light output and lower power consumption.

MOT inspection LED work lights agriculture

When connecting LED work lights to a tractor , different rules apply than when connecting them to a truck, trailer or trailer. This is because tractor are not subject to an MOT truck and, furthermore, they are usually driven on private land or farmland. However, drivers of tractors or agricultural vehicles must also comply with official laws and regulations. For example, a tractor must be fitted with dimming lights, sidelights, indicators, rear lights, brake lights and a left-hand wing mirror. In addition, every tractor must have two or four non-triangular red retro-reflectors fitted at the rear. Furthermore, agricultural vehicles must be fitted with a yellow rotating or indicator if the vehicle is wider than 2.60 metres or if work is being carried out on or alongside a public road.

As you can read above, LED work lights agriculture are not a mandatory part of the lighting set. Indeed, it is not allowed to use LED work lights on public roads. They may only be used during works or on your own property.

Replacing halogen work lights on your tractor or tractor

Switching from halogen lighting to LED lighting is particularly easy thanks to the various connectors offered by TRALERT® when purchasing the lighting. Most of TRALERT®'s work lights are equipped with a Deutsch-connector as standard. This makes replacing the LED lights effortless. You simply disconnect the old lighting and connect the new lighting.

LED work lights for tractors: which lighting do I need?

To be well prepared to face the dark days, we would recommend the following equipment. This equipment takes into account different types of lighting, which can be mounted in different places on the tractor.

LED work light for the tractor cabin

When working in the dark, it is, of course, essential to be able to see what is happening ahead of you. To ensure that the road surface is well lit even in the dark, we recommend fitting two powerful LED work lights with a narrow light beam. This gives you a clear view over a greater distance. The LED work light that is ideally suited to this purpose is the TRSW12275FB. This LED work light features the latest Reflector Facing Technology. This technology ensures efficient light distribution, eliminating any stray light. As the Philips LEDs are positioned in opposite directions, this agricultural LED work light produces a highly focused light beam.

LED work lights on the back of the cab

As well as the front of the agricultural machine, the rear must also be fitted with powerful lighting. We recommend using two LED work lights here, each with a beam angle of 60+ degrees. This ensures that not only is the tractor well lit, but so are the attached implements. The agricultural LED work lights we recommend for this purpose are the WR-1317 and the TRSW12274FB. Both of these work lights are shown in the image above. The WR-1317 is R23-certified, meaning the work light can also be used as a reverse light.

In addition to work lights, it is a legal requirement to fit a suitable set of LED rear lights to the vehicle. As you have read above, the vehicle must be fitted with at least indicators, rear lights and brake lights. A good combination LED rear light is the 140ESTIM. Just like the agricultural LED work lights pictured, these rear lights are among the best-selling products in the TRALERT® range.

LED work lights for tractor: front and sides

To ensure that the area around the agricultural vehicle is well lit, you could place another LED work light on both sides of the vehicle. We recommend choosing LED work light that has at least a beam width of 60+ degrees. A strong LED work light for agricultural vehicles is the TRA303P0403. This work light features Epistar LEDs with a clear white light output.
