    Grote Industries has unveiled a new line of bright, white 18-diode LED lamps. The result of new technology and Grote engineering, the new lamps leave behind the typical dim, bluish cast of other LEDs and also cast the familiar, broad light pattern of fluorescent lamps.

    These LED lamps demand less power than other types of interior lighting. The LEDs draw 2.1 amps for startup, compared with 2.7 amps needed to start up a fluorescent lamp. Plus, the power demand to keep on an LED lamp remains low, making them suitable for “no-idle” areas where engines must be switched off.

    Unlike fluorescents, which take time to brighten in cold temperatures, Grote's LED lamps snap instantly to life. They even work better in the cold. At -40° F, they are still instant-on and instant-bright.

    Grote's LED lamps are easier to install because the wiring set-up is more forgiving, and the self-contained LED units are far more tamper-resistant than incandescent set-ups.
