  건설현장의 가장 중요한 2가지는 자신이 현장에서 무슨 행동을 하고 주변의

사람들이 뭘하는지 확인하는 것이다.

 

건설작업자들은 발주자가 제공하는 무거운 라이트장비를 사용하고 있다.

 

몇년 전에 일루미기어가 최초로 유선 할로 라이트를 소개한 바 있지만

최근에 무선배터리를 사용한 뉴할로시스템을 선보였다.

Two of the most critical concepts of construction safety are the ability to see what you’re doing and to also be seen by others around you.  Construction workers rely heavily on their employer providing lighting systems when working in low light conditions, but those systems are not always adequate.

 

A few years ago, Illumagear introduced the original Halo Light, which was a light attachment for any standard hard hat, powered by a wired battery pack that clipped to the user’s belt.  Just recently, the company gave their flagship product a major upgrade, by introducing the new Halo, featuring cordless battery power. 

 

Utilizing a single rechargable lithium ion battery the size of a AA embedded in the ring, the Halo provides light on its highest settings (halo mode, 276 lumens) for up to 5.5 hours and up to 34 hours on its lowest setting (dim mode, 49 lumens). More importantly, the 360 degree light keeps you visible from over a quarter of a mile away. There are two other settings, including task mode (5.5 hours runtime, 259 lumens) and hi-alert mode (14 hours, fluctuating luminosity).

 

According to the company, it’s also built to last in tough environments and they have the videos to prove it.  The light attachment was sent through the wringer in a variety of tests, including being dropped 25 feet off a scissor lift, run over by a Jeep, immersed in water, abused in a toolbox, and buried in mud.  Here’s the video of it being dropped off the scissor lift:

 

The new Halo weighs around 10 ounces and fastens to your hard hat with clips.  There’s a full list of all of the compatible hard hats, covering at least 16 different manufacturers, on the company’s website.

 

The Halo Light is available now for $99, which includes one rechargeable lithium ion battery.  The battery charger is sold separately, however. 

 

 

This second video below shows the difference between a typical headlamp and the Halo Light:
