One Step Ahead...

Havis-Shields is proud to introduce the next generation of vehicle scene lighting for the public safety market:

The Magnafire 3000 floodlight. This light incorporates all the features necessary for today's fire service: high-intensity light output, compact design,plus affordability.

The Magnafire 3000's mirror polished reflector has increased vertical surface area and rounded parabolic corners for optimum efficiency. The result is a bright, smooth, floodlight beam pattern that lets you put light where you want it.

The Magnafire 3000's low-profile housing measures only 5- 1/4" high by 13-1/2" wide, following the style made popular by our Alpha 2000 in 1991, but with many new features.

The Magnafire 3000's simplified design enhances reliability. Its unibody die-cast

housing eliminates gaskets needed in extruded fixtures; while the one-piece lens frame allows easy access to change bulbs. The lens is held in place by retention clips so it can't fall out when the frame is removed. The reflector is field replaceable. A unique swivel "O" ring seal makes the adjustment knuckle watertight, eliminating a potential leakage point or the need for silicone sealants.

The Magnafire 3000 runs cool. Its large, built-in, heat dissipating fins carry heat out of the fixture and are spaced apart for easy cleaning. The light is ETL listed to ANSI/UL standard 1571 for outdoor lighting safety.

Before you spec your next truck, be sure to check out the Magnafire 3000.

MAGNAFIRE H.I.D - 12V LIGHTING

Literature - Page 1 - Page 2

Finally! A 12-volt floodlight that's really bright.

The Havis-Shields Magnafire 3000 H.I.D. (high-intensity discharge) 12-volt floodlight produces four times as much illumination as a halogen light, yet draws only 6 amps. Its light output is comparable to some 11 O-volt lights without requiring a separate generator or inverter.

The secret is the high-intensity discharge lamp technology combined with a mirror- polished reflector to give it significantly more light output than other 12-volt lights. The light beam floods an area with uniform illumination over an 80-degree arc to avoid bright spots that could blind firefighters and rescue personnel.

Unlike some other high-intensity discharge lights that can take up to 30 minutes to reach their full brightness, the Magnafire 3000 H.I.D. has an electronic igniter circuit that brings the lamp to full intensity in just 30 seconds. This feature also allows the light to be turned off and restarted immediately, rather than taking a half-hour or longer as with other high-intensity discharge lights.

...and it's tough too.

The Magnafire 3000 H.I.D. floodlight has a rugged, die-cast aluminum housing with a bonded powder coat finish that resists chipping and corrosion. The one-piece lens frame can be easily removed to allow quick access to change the bulb, and the lens is held in place with retention clips so it can't accidentally fallout when the frame is removed.

The lens itself is made from a special glass that won't suddenly crack when the lamp head is accidentally sprayed with water. In tests, the lamp was turned on for 15 minutes to allow it to reach its maximum operating temperature. After the lamp was hot, a stream of water was suddenly sprayed directly on the lens. The light kept operating without any sign of cracking on the lens.

Mount it anywhere.

The Magnafire 3000 H.I.D. can be mounted on a wide variety of fixed top-raise and bottom-raise telescoping poles --including top-mount, side-mount, and thru-body- mount --as well as portable tripod-mounts. A handle allows the light to be manually aimed horizontally and vertically, while large, easy-to-grip locking knobs and releases secure it in position.

The light can also be mounted in a fixed position into the body of a fire apparatus or ambulance. The lens frame protrudes beyond the vehicle body and can still be quickly removed to access the bulb.

An ideal solution for many applications:

Perhaps the biggest advantage of the Magnafire 3000 H.I.D. is that it does not require an expensive and bulky generator or inverter. Because each light draws only 6 amps of 12-volt power, it can be easily handled by the vehicle's alternator.

For pumpers, this means that a fire department doesn't have to sacrifice valuable compartment space to mount a generator. This also means that the department doesn't have to worry about separate fueling and maintenance for the generator in order to have lights --as long as the vehicle engine is operating, the lights will operate. The lights will even operate when the vehicle is moving, as in a "pump-and- roll" situation while fighting a moving wildland fire at night.

For rescue vehicles, it means more compartment space, but more importantly, it means a quieter operating environment at the incident scene. When someone's life hangs in the balance, the roar of an engine-driven generator can hamper communications between the rescuers and can further traumatize the victim.

The Magnafire 3000 H.I.D. is also perfect for ambulances, where there is usually little or no room for either a generator or an inverter and where a quiet environment is important. The wide-angle light pattern provides a broad area of illumination to assist extrication, triage, stabilization, and preparation for transport in multiple-victim incidents.

Other applications include hazardous materials units, command centers, aircraft rapid intervention vehicles, fireboats, support vehicles, mechanics' trucks, and arson investigation vehicles.
