Rite-Hite design innovation boosts dock light flexibility, adjustability

Rite-Hite is introducing a new LED dock light design called the Rite-Lite Flex Neck LED Dock Light. The new light incorporates Flex Neck technology, which offers enhanced flexibility and adjustability when lighting a trailer or container at the loading dock.
“There has been very little innovation in LED dock lights since they were initially introduced a few years ago,” said Andy Olson, marketing manager for Rite-Hite. “We wanted to bring something new to the market that addresses the unique demands found at the loading dock.”
The Rite-Lite Flex Neck LED Dock Light features a multi-articulating arm made from molded nylon links. These links offer multiple bend points for increased flexibility at the loading dock. Bend points can be easily modified in the field to address special needs, or obstructions that may be encountered at a dock opening. In addition, the links can be tightened, if necessary, to eliminate sagging that often occurs with traditional metal snake arms.
With this dock light, there are four different settings with visual indicators to clearly identify the current level of lighting, allowing users to select the desired level of light output. An optional, auto-dimming feature senses when a forklift or person exits a trailer and automatically dims the light to reduce glare. Finally, the light incorporates a dimming feature that recognizes when the light has been on for more than 30 minutes, with no activity in the trailer, and automatically resets the light to its lowest setting. All of these features help reduce power consumption while offering more lighting options.
This dock light incorporates an aluminum-cast, impact-resistant head designed to take incidental impacts from forklifts and overhead doors. The light uses CREE LEDs that consume just 18 watts of energy while outputting 925 lumens, and it is rated for 175,200 hours of service life.
