Optronics Introduces Family Of Five New Opti-Brite Wide-Angle LED Work Lamps

Unlike conventional LED work lights, each of the new lamps features a slim profile and a noticeably convex lens that produces a 40 percent wider area of illumination.

imageTULSA, Okla. – Optronics International, a leading manufacturer and supplier of heavy-duty LED vehicle lighting, expanded its Opti-Brite LED work lamp line today, with the introduction of five new Opti-Brite Wide-Angle LED Work Lamps. Unlike conventional LED work lights, each of the new lamps features a slim profile and a noticeably convex lens that produces a 40 percent wider area of illumination.

Work lamps are used in, on and around a wide assortment of vehicles and within a vast array of challenging environments. The new Opti-Brite Wide-Angle LED Work Lamps provide users with an enhanced light beam that augments lateral visibility by almost half. The lamps also carry an IP69K rating, the highest designation available for water, steam and particulate ingress testing, meaning increased reliability and service life when subjected to severe environmental conditions or cleaning methods.

“Using two of our new Opti-Brite Wide-Angle LED Work Lamps enables users to shine light on an area almost the equivalent of three standard LED work lamps,” Brett Johnson, president and CEO of Optronics International, said. “All five lamps carry a lifetime warranty and all have an IP69K rating, making them suitable for the hot, wet and dusty environments often encountered in heavy-duty, work truck, off-road, fire & rescue, snow & ice management and refuse applications.”

The selection of five models offers a wide range of effective lumen outputs capable of meeting the needs of a broad variety of situations. All five wide-angle LED work lights feature ultra-smooth polycarbonate lens surfaces that resist dust adhesion, and each lamp is constructed with a durable, die-cast aluminum housing and comes with a tough, stainless steel mounting bracket. The lamps are designed to accommodate both 12- and 24-volt electrical systems.

Like all other work lamps in the Opti-Brite line, the new wide-angle LED work lights are covered by the company’s no-hassle, one-diode lifetime warranty, which replaces the entire lamp if even one diode fails. Opti-Brite Wide-Angle LED Work Lamps also feature reverse polarity protection and are EMC R10 approved.

“The Opti-Brite LED work lamp brand stands for quality and durability,” Marcus Hester, vice president of sales and marketing for Optronics International, said. “With their 40 percent broader beam pattern, our new Opti-Brite Wide-Angle LED Work Lamps are a great addition to an already extensive line of LED work lamps.”

Opti-Brite Wide-Angle LED Work Lamps part numbers include: TLL55FB, TLL70FB, TLL71FB, TLL72FB and TLL73FB. The new lamps are expected to be available on or about June 1, 2016.

Optronics products are available in the U.S. and Canada through the company’s extensive distribution network of more than 12,000 convenient distribution locations.

Customer Service: How It’s Done

Customer service should be your number one priority, and it all starts with the greeting.

This is always an important topic to discuss, because I consider excellent customer service one of the most important tools you can have to earn trust, respect and repeat business from the customers that come through your door. Whether that customer is do-it-yourselfer from across town or the professional repair shop across the street, your business depends on a solid relationship.It’s a subject that I am passionate about, and it’s one that many people are losing touch with. Whether you are communicating to someone in person, on the phone or using some type of social media, good customer service and bad can both exist. You can’t afford the latter, so this is the first in a series of topics which can and should be shared from the front of the shop to the back. No matter which role you hold, you represent the shop and yourself. Customer service should be your number one priority.First on the list is the greeting. From the second a customer walks in the door, they need to know you appreciate them coming in and how important they are to your business. First impressions are everything and here’s the correct way to do it each and every time: look them directly in the eye, smile and say hello!Of course, you can say “Good morning” or “Welcome to Joe’s Autocare,” but it should be a formal greeting and the most important thing is that you have smiled, looked them in the eye and recognized that they have walked through the door.You should always retain a formal greeting until you are on a first-name basis with a customer. Only once you have established that level of relationship is it OK to use the less formal greeting of “Hi,” followed by the person’s name.This greeting does more than just indicate respect and appreciation for someone walking through the door. Most likely there are customers both new and old who are in earshot of your conversation. For newer customers, this continues to build rapport and reinforce their positive view of your shop; they see that you demonstrate respect and treat everyone in the same manner. For repeat customers, even ones that have been coming for years, the greeting is important because the way you treat them is the reason they continue to come.And when a long-time customer comes in and you greet them with “Hi [First Name],” this indicates your appreciation for them and that you’re glad to see them as a person, more than just a customer. New customers that witness this will see that your repeat customers are comfortable enough to be on a first-name basis, another indication of the trust they have in you.
