The ARCHIVE : New PPS Lighting Range To Compliment Mass Decon And Blue Light Products

To compliment its incomparable range of decontamination and blue-light products Professional Protection Systems has introduced a range of lighting units.  The range embraces all needs and all situations from hand held and head lights to a range of flood lights.

A feature of the PPS flood light range is that it is battery charged eliminating the hazards created by trailing cables not to mention the need to have a source of power. They are also silent, non-conductive and cool running with the larger units offering up to 15 hours continuous running. The two best sellers in this range are the Starlite and Maxi 2000 flodlights. According to PPS Managing Director, Mark Whitcher, the Starlite is regarded as the most powerful rechargeable floodlight in the world. “There are simply no equivalents in the global market place” he says “that is why it is proving so popular with police, fire and emergency services generally”. Its telescopic tripod gives it a maximum height of 3.5 metres, and even at this height, even in the most difficult conditions, it enjoys great stability thanks to the unusually wide spread of the tripod feet. Its primary beam gives up to three hours standard whilst a secondary beam gives up to 10 hours. The other best seller, the Maxi 2000 is a rapid response unit which has proved itself with rail and electricity maintenance teams. An unusually wide range of accessories have made it a byword for flexibility and adaptability. It offers three kinds of bases for instance; gripper, magnetic or suction and it can also operate from a vehicle cigar socket adapter thanks to a 5m extension lead option.

The head light range consists of the Matrix and the 2 in 1. The 2 in 1` is so called because it offers both high powered halogen bulb and ultra bright LED light in the same unit. The halogen light can be focused from spot to flood whilst the LED facility is ideal for close up work, consumes little power and can operate for over 100 hours. The Matrix can be adjusted through 90 degrees vertically and is both water and shock resistant. With three lighting functions and a flashing mode for emergencies the Matrix bulbs are designed to last for 100,000 hours.

For a hand lamp PPS offer the Panther, a one million candlepower hand lamp with a one mile beam. The Panther is virtually unbreakable incorporating a toughened lens and a shock resistant polyethylene plastic casing. Suitable for use in all weather conditions it can operate for up to four hours when used on low beam and comes with a mains and vehicle charger.
