| LitFinger LED Light  Underwater Kinetics (UK) announced the release of the LitFinger - a special utility light, which combines the function of a "finger" tool with a built-in high intensity LED light. It is used on an electrically insulating hot stick in dark or unlighted areas when changing out high voltage fuses on electrical poles. Designed by linemen for linemen, LitFinger is both lightweight and durable with its all aluminum construction. LitFinger provides linemen with unparalleled illumination compared to truck-mounted spotlights or handheld flashlights which quickly loose intensity due to foul weather, or shadows cast by power lines, tree limbs, and underbrush.Key benefits of LitFinger include: - It has a bright, one-watt LED light, ensuring that the work area is fully illumined - without any shadows. - It's extremely light (6.8 oz with batteries), so linemen won't feel the weight of LitFinger on the end of their hot sticks. - It has a lightweight aluminum body and durable design, making it virtually unbreakable. - It's water and heat resistant and withstands a 3000 volt arc test, protecting the safety of users. Conceived by linemen who know first hand the challenges of working on fuse boxes and developed with engineers at UK, LitFinger proved to be incredibly durable. Even after being exposed to a 35, 000-degree arc blast, the LED still cast a bright beam. Working on fuse boxes has long been one of the most difficult jobs for linemen. LitFinger is a technological giant step forward that makes truck-mounted spotlights obsolete and shines light directly on the work area - without shadows, adjustments, headaches, or hassles. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
