Truck Spotlights

 A career on the road means not only being away from your friends and family for hours and days at a time, but also living with the constant concern that you might break down. Although breaking down in your semi-truck can lead to a great deal of financial liability for yourself and the company that you drive for, it can also have harsher consequences, especially if you break down in a remote location.

 Driving along long stretches of desolate highway in either summer or winter can pose a threat to even the most careful driver. A blown out tire or stalled engine can leave truckers stranded on the side of the road with their broken down trucks. While most truckers would probably characterize this as a frustrating situation, not all would label it potentially harmful, as cell phones, CB radios, and even the Internet can serve as communication devices that can lead to a rescue in such circumstances. But no matter how many cell phone antennas or CB enhancers the trucker has purchased, some parts of the country are not convenient for cell phones. Hitting a dead zone in the middle of a long, rural highway can be not only frustrating but also potentially life threatening.

 But most seasoned, and some unseasoned, truckers are used to the dangers associated with the profession. That’s why they keep emergency kits consisting of reflectors, first-aid kits, flashlights, tools, and other necessities in their trucks. But for those who are prone to traveling long stretches of highway without a partner, an extra aid is always helpful.

 That’s where Fox Fury’s Sunbolt 6 comes in. The all-LED spotlight will break up the night for any trucker stranded along any long stretch of road, allowing the trucker to see for miles, while simultaneously warning other truckers and drivers of the operator’s position. This type of signal serves two purposes. First, it allows others to find the trucker and his or her trucks, chauffeuring the trucker to safety. Secondly, it warns other drivers that a disabled truck, that may or may not have lighting, has been pulled off the road, preventing an accident.

 With the ability to produce light for several miles, the spotlight provides instant lighting with over 11,000 lumens, requiring no time to warm up and no cool down time once doused as they emit little to no heat. Retailing for just under $7,500, the light is both weather and waterproof. It can even be used for under water rescue operations, as well as many other uses.

 For truckers who travel long stretching highways in various conditions, being prepared is more than necessary. Although first-aid kits and reflectors can be useful in an emergency, Fox Fury’s Sunbolt 6 is the perfect light for both rescuing and being rescued.
