Abstract
Fleet managers are always looking for ways to increase both maintenance shop safety and operational safety of their vehicles. This is especially true with heavy-duty equipment or equipment with high maintenance items in difficult to service locations. Incandescent lighting has always been one of the highest frequency of repair items on heavy-duty trucks and trailers. However, the technology now exists with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to significantly increase the safety of operating and maintaining these vehicles.
