Dropped, kicked and beaten but HEMIPRO LEDs<br />
outshine anything else on the market<br />
One of the first automotive workshops<br />
to adopt the rugged new HEMIPRO<br />
High Power Worklights reports that they<br />
have defied all efforts to kill them and they<br />
continue to provide much better light than<br />
ever before.<br />
“They have been dropped, kicked,<br />
knocked, thrown and they are still shining<br />
brightly. They are bloody excellent,” says<br />
Cameron Brooks, of Brooks Motors,<br />
Albury’s Suzuki dealership and Landrover<br />
specialists.<br />
“Previously we used normal LED<br />
portable lights, but since we got<br />
HEMIPROs the other ones have stayed on<br />
the shelf. These are much better, because<br />
not only are they tougher, but also they<br />
provide a significantly broader spectrum of<br />
light and much greater clarity.”<br />
“The older blokes here used to grizzle<br />
that sometimes they couldn’t see things<br />
properly under the bonnet, and had to<br />
take them outside so they could. Now they<br />
are real happy,” said Mr Brooks.<br />
Manufactured by Cliplight and<br />
being introduced to Australasia by GO<br />
Distribution, HEMIPRO worklights are<br />
designed to provide 10 years or more of<br />
optimum clarity and safety in maintenance<br />
tasks.<br />
They incorporate the first use of<br />
high-power LEDs in work lights for the<br />
automotive repair market, with strong<br />
benefits also for applications such as<br />
industrial heavy vehicle, electrical, farm<br />
and machinery maintenance workshops.<br />
Their retail appeal is further enhanced<br />
by their being highly appropriate for<br />
consumer use around campsites,<br />
caravans and the booming number of<br />
recreational vehicles and associated<br />
activities.<br />

So outstanding is their performance<br />
that they were selected as a “Product of<br />
the Month” by the USA’s Professional<br />
Tool and Equipment News magazine,<br />
circulation 104,000.<br />
Using either two or three High Power<br />
LEDS, the HEMIPRO 2 LED and 3 LED<br />
work lights provide exceptionally powerful<br />
beams which, respectively, equal or<br />
exceed the light area intensity of a 60W or<br />
75W beam, says GO Distribution Director<br />
Mr Gary Oborne.<br />
“What really sets the HEMIPRO lights<br />
apart, however, is the patent-pending,<br />
uniquely engineered hemispherical lens<br />
design, which refracts the LEDs into<br />
an exceptionally clean, bright and wide<br />
beam. The highly modified lens design<br />
captures and transfers the powerful LED<br />
light into a super-wide 70 deg beam, while<br />
also eliminating hot spots, dull areas or<br />
irritating halo rings.”<br />
Cameron Brooks says these qualities<br />
will be an advantage in the prestige and<br />
show work his company undertakes<br />
(including drag race vehicles and a<br />
custom Harley that won Best <strong>Bike</strong> at the<br />
Sydney <strong>Bike</strong> Show.<br />
With the attention to detail required<br />
carrying out the day to day servicing of<br />
vehicles it is essential to have the best<br />
workshop lighting available.<br />
Designed to provide high performance<br />
for 10 years or more of normal use,<br />
HEMIPRO incorporates features to help<br />
ensure its longevity including:<br />
• Tough polycarbonate patent-pending<br />
LUMIGUARD lens shield. This protects<br />
the lens and can be easily and quickly<br />
replaced if it gets scratched, cracked<br />
or tarnished. Rather than throwing away<br />
the entire work light, users can simply<br />
replace the LUMIGUARD in less than<br />
two minutes.<br />
• Similarly, the super strong NiMH 2500<br />
milliAmp hour battery in the 2 LED and<br />
3 LED cordless models are rechargeable<br />
and replaceable.<br />
However, replacement will not happen<br />
too often, says GO Distribution, because<br />
as the battery has a life expectancy of<br />
three years under normal use. The 2<br />
LED can be used up to five hours<br />
between charges. The 3 LED is good for<br />
three hours between charges. Even the<br />
360° swivel hook can be replaced.<br />
Designed by the international Cliplight<br />
Manufacturing Company, which is now in<br />
its fourth decade of producing top quality<br />
worklights, HEMI PRO complements<br />
an innovative range of HVAC products<br />
available from GO Distribution, including<br />
Super Seal sealants that help remove<br />
the need for expensive fault-chasing<br />
and repairs to commercial, industrial<br />
and automotive air conditioning and<br />
refrigeration systems.<br />
