Rugged LED Tower-lamps

At last these are in production!

The lamps are extremely rugged, with polycarbonate 'tower shield' and thick rubber base - ideal for camps, small cabins, tents, etc. in remote places

The power consumption for eCandle (the white, non-flashing ones) is light enough to retain brightness for about 20 hours with a set of 4 dry cells, while eFlasher (red light flasher) runs close to 48 hours on 2 dry cells.

Illumination is 200-500 Lux (you need 300 Lux for reading) for the eCandle white lamp while eFlasher the red blinking light is visible as far as 20-30 mtrs in the dark. These are LED-powered, hence the life of these lamps is eternal compared to CFLs, tubes and bulbs, saving replacement costs.

An array of 15-20 white lamps or 30-40 red flashers can be backed up very adequately by a single 10 Wp Solar Photovoltaic panel of TBP/BHEL make, in no-power zones as against a typical 35 Watt garden-light
system that charges just 5 or 10 PL lamps. Dusk-to-dawn operation is also available, as a special option.

The basic cost, since we did not avail of the expected grant, is Rs 400 each, for orders up to 10 pcs of the white lamp and Rs 250 for the flasher, payable against our proforma invoice, FOR/FOB Mumbai. For automatic dusk-to-dawn operation, Rs 75 extra will be charged.
