APPLICATION

The Tool Helper combines leading-edge, energy saving 28 watt quad-tube fluorescent compact technology with safety, simplicity, and durablilty. This fixture is totally constructed (base and globe) of General Electric's Lexan offering exceptional quality and maximum durability in the most hostile machine and industrial environments. This water-resistant fixture has been designed and tested for superior performance in heavy coolant machine environments indoors - as well as exposed to nature's harshest elements outdoors.

Since The Tool Helper offers a wide area of light to work areas, it is ideal for lighting machine cabinetry and safety hood providing 360 degrees of illumination to both work areas as well as "black holes" that are commonplace. The Tool Helper is currently being used in "washed down" environments. The energy saving, very bright (1600 lumens) 28 watts of "cool white" (4100 Kelvens) offer maximum light to assembly, inspection and general work areas. It is an excellent general purpose fixture for both indoors and outdoors.

SUPERIOR FEATURES

The Tool Helper offers 360 degrees of illumination.
Waterproof design of Lexan base and globe offers superior performance in the harshest coolant machines and industrial environments. It is also ideal for "wash down" applications indoors or wet locations outdoors.
Utilizes evergy saving 28 watt quad-tube fluorescent compact technology costing 1/3 the electricity of the equivalent incandescent and lasts 10 times longer.
Bulb changing is as easy as unscrewing the globe and popping in a standard off-the-shelf fluorescent bulb.
Optimum safety is the key element in The Tool Helper's design. All electrical components and assemblies are housed within the safe Lexan base. The Lexan housing maximizes safety in the harshest environments.
LEXAN FIXTURE

This fixture combines the simple concept of a standard electrical junction box with the ruggedness of 1/8" thick Lexan casing offering exceptional quality. The Tool Helper is virtually unbreakable even in the most hostile and roughest industrial environments. It is resilient to flying metal debris and extremely versatile in extreme wet/coolant environments.

The superior design places all components inside the totally enclosed waterproof Lexan chamber to ensure operator safety. Four silicone gaskets are located where the globe meets the base for added assurance of water-tight assembly.

The standard auto-start feature offers immediate light quality upon plugging in or turning on the fixture. Each fixture ships standard with an easy to reach on/off switch located on the base.

INTERNAL ELECTRONIC BALLAST

The Tool Helper utilizes a Class-P ballast internal to the fixture. The ballast offers thermal protection to shut off the power in the case of overheating thus safe-guarding the operator while protecting the expensive ballast in power surge conditions. The isolated power supply separates the two heat sources (lamp and ballast) for a more efficient transfer of heat to external the fixture adding extended life to the fixture. The Tool Helper draws .55 amps and will withstand -35 degrees Fahrenheit to +104 degrees Fahrenheit. The Lexan fixture serves as an ultraviolet resistant housing.

SPECIALLY DESIGNED GLOBES

The Lexan globe has been specially designed to offer a smooth outer globe ideal for heavy coolant and dust-filled environments. Ridges, sometimes called prisms, are molded on the inside of the globe to soften the light when looking directly at the light source, protecting the eyes. The ridges also serve to dissipate the light over a wide and even area. The base of the globe easily unscrews for quick and easy changing of the bulb.

STANDARD BULBS FOUND WORLD-WIDE

What could be easier to change bulbs in The Tool Helper. Simply screw off the globe and replace the new fluorescent bulb. The Tool Helper uses state-of-the-art Quad-Tube 28 watt fluorescent compact bulb in both the 120 volt and 24 volt D.C. versions. Maximum illumination is offered with 1600 lumens, and ships standard with a "cool white" bulb offering 4100 Kelvens-optimum for the machining environments. The average life of the bulb is rated at 10,000 hours, a substantial cost reduction over conventional bulbs.

MOUNTING BRACKETS

Standard with each fixture will ship (2) fluted mounting brackets, where each will screw easily into the base of the fixture with four stainless steel screws. Additionally, a 90-pound magnet ships standard with each fixture. Each fixture can be operational within minutes.

UNIVERSAL LIGHTING FOR GLOBAL MARKETS

Most machines today ship standard with 24 volt D.C. (Direct Current) auxiliary electrical outlets or ports. By utilizing and wiring light fixtures direct to these 24 volt D.C. outlets a host of electrical problems are eliminated world-wide. The 24 volt D.C. option offers:

• All electrical concerns such as voltage, hertz, voltage variances, surges, spikes, and power drains are eliminated as factors in your success when this fixture is mounted directly to your control panel. The 24 volt version of The Tool Helper offers a single light fixture that can be shipped world-wide trouble free.
• A single light configuration simplifying repair and replacement.
• Halogen Lighting Products Corporation offers a wide variety of high quality machine and industrial lighting in 24 volt D.C. to accommodate U.S. and international markets.
