March 2013
BT Engineer: Maintenance-Free Safety Illumination Package
Part One: AREA LIGHTING SYSTEM
Introduction
& Project Overview
Introduction
The aim of this proposal is to present a totally maintenance-free lighting package solution. All of Peli’s lighting solutions are self-contained and require no additional cabling or auxiliary power supplies. The Remote Area Lighting Solutions are manufactured in the UK to the highest quality standards, and comprise the latest LED technology. The emphasis behind all of Peli’s products is to provide the user with a professional, reliable choice in industries which cannot afford to experience failure. A tool which will enhance working conditions and eliminate the need for replacement or repair - a costly ongoing exercise. Peli offers a lifetime warranty for their products, which is a testament to their quality.
Project Overview
Comtec have approached Peli to provide pricing for the lighting components as requested by BT. It is known that BT have retained the same types of lighting products for approximately 25 years, and as such it is outdated- meaning a lack of reliability and performance versus newer technologies. The aim of this proposal is to provide an innovative, safer, more economical and better-performing product range for BT to consider. Peli’s product offering is proven Globally in this type of application.
Proposed Solution: PELI RALS
The Peli Remote Area Lighting Systems (RALS) range was designed to provide a silent, maintenance free, rechargeable floodlight which eliminates the need for generators. The award-winning range was also the first to encompass Light Emitting Diodes for use in a flood lighting application. This proposal will provide full information on the products, components and current users.
Company
Scope
Peli’s range of Remote Area Lighting Systems have been recognised for their quality and performance by some of the largest names in industry, along with military and emergency services users- globally. This pioneering range was the first LED based portable floodlight to be manufactured and launched in the UK. The U.S. Military are the most recent large-scale user, with over $2 million of product being sent to Afghanistan to assist their infrastructure rebuild operations.
Production Output Capability
Due to the professional and modular design of the Peli RALS series, and rationalised supply chain management, production is extremely efficient. With full component inventory, output is 140 units per day- and can be more if additional production lines are added.
Product Safety and Conformity
Peli has a strict quality and safety compliance procedure, ensuring all products are manufactured in accordance with all relevant standards. Certification is attached with this proposal. Importantly, the Peli RALS range has also been independently tested, and passed Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (harmonics) regulations.
Product Warranty
With the exception of the 9420, all of the product submitted in this proposal is covered by a lifetime return-to-base warranty. The light engine has been designed in conjunction with a leading thermal engineer to ensure longevity. Other LED systems do NOT always have this engineering in their design, leading to LED failures as per picture below. Any manufacturing defect or failure to the product’s operation is covered by Peli’s Lifetime Warranty.

Product Design
The 9430 has been designed using professional manufacturing techniques and state of the art electronic components to ensure reliability. This also aids production lead times, as the modular design is simple to assemble- further eliminating the possibility of failure.
The diagram below demonstrates the composition:
9430C Product Operation
The 9430C has been designed for use as a high power flood light, with two “modes”.
There is ALSO a SPOTLIGHT version of the 9430, which concentrates the intense beam into a precisely focused 10 degree beam. This allows for perfect distance illumination without overspill of light.
Torch Mode
In Torch Mode, the 9430C can be stowed in a compact manner. It is ready for use, and a single press of the keypad switch will illuminate the light engine on High Power. The user can then carry the 9430C to his setup area, as a “torch”.
Flood Light Mode
Once in position, the 9430C can be set down and the light head pivoted upwards through 90 degrees and then fixed upright by sliding into the locating socket attached to the base. Overall height can then be adjusted up to 820 mm using the clasp on the extension pole.
Duration
The 9430C has two illumination levels.
If the user presses the keypad once, High Mode (3,000 Lumens) is activated. A fully charged 9430C will provide 8 hours of duration in this mode. A second press will set the 9430C to Standard Mode (1,500 Lumens). This will provide up to 15 hours of duration.
N.B. Peli RALS products do not become dim over duration. The same high level of illumination is maintained throughout use.
Safety
An important feature is the low battery indicator. This alerts the user to the fact that the 9430C is becoming low on battery power. The light head will flash for 2 seconds to warn the user that there is 30 minutes’ power remaining. A second and third warning with 20 and 10 minutes duration respectively, ensures the user can prepare in plenty of time for the unit needing to be recharged.
N.B. The 9430C has a built-in electronic battery monitor and protector. It will not allow the battery to be discharged to the point of full depletion, ensuring that a state of deep discharge does not result. Other types of battery lights do not necessarily have this function, meaning batteries will fatigue quickly and require more frequent replacement.
Recharge
Recharging of the 9430C is simple. This is achieved by using either a mains voltage or in-vehicle charger, available separately. The charger has the same type of plug connector as the light head, and can be connected to either of the two sockets on the rear of the 9430.
Peli RALS Products can be charged with the battery at any state of discharge. For example, it makes no difference if the product has been used for 2, 5 or 8 hours before being placed on charge. Other types of portable lighting may not have this ability. Charge time from a completely discharged state is 6 hours.
Beam Angle and Intensity
The 9430 is available in 2 different beam options:
-
- 120 Degree (for a wide beam of light, concentrated over a close working area)
- 10 Degree (a highly intense, narrow beam- ideally suited to illuminating objects at distance)
Personalisation & Traceability
Peli are able to offer a batch coding (serial numeration) and logo/decal printing service. This enables full product traceability for the client, and reduces the risk of theft. This service provides a professional finish and was chosen by Network Rail:
Accessories
Should the client require any additional accessories for the 9430 Product, these include
- Telescopic Tripod
- Extension Pole
- Rucksack for carrying over distance

9440 Product Operation
Following extensive feedback after the launch of the 9430, it was deemed essential to introduce a product which was even lighter in weight for engineers having to carry tools over distance. In addition, they wanted greater height from the product to illuminate a wider area. With the 9440, Peli has developed a solution to both of these points- a fully portable high-intensity floodlight which deploys to a height of over 2 metres using a built-in tripod, within seconds.
Torch Mode
In Torch Mode, the 9440 is compact and can be operated whilst being carried using the shoulder strap. It is ready for use, and a single press of the keypad switch will illuminate the light engine on High Power.
Flood Light Mode
Once in position, the 9440 can be deployed by releasing the integral legs. Height adjustment is then available through a two-stage telescopic mast system. The light head pivots up/down and left-right through 180 degrees, so the engineer can adjust the light in the required manner.
Duration
The 9440 also has two illumination levels.
If the user presses the keypad once, High Mode is activated.
A fully charged 9440 will provide 3 hours of duration in this mode. A second press will set the 9440 to Standard Mode. This will provide up to 6 hours of duration.
N.B. Peli RALS products do not become dim over duration. The same high level of illumination is maintained throughout use.

Current
Users
Network Rail
Following extensive appraisal and feasibility studies over a 12 month period, Network Rail became the first large scale user of this new technology, in 2006. Network Rail assessed their current lighting systems and deemed them to be extremely inefficient and costly in maintenance and repairs. Following a series of comparative durability and reliability tests versus other portable lighting manufacturers, they chose Peli due to a 100% reliability rate. There are now in excess of 3000 of these products in use by Network Rail. Their total investment to date is just under £1.5m. Peli’s RALS products were recognised with the receipt of a Commendation For Innovation at the Network Rail Partnership Awards in July 2009.
UK & US Military
As mentioned previously, Peli’s RALS products are already in operational use in Theatre, in Afghanistan. The Royal Air Force is a known user of the 9430 in Theatre, assisting with the illumination of catering operations. The US Army Reserves are in the process of infrastructure rebuilding, and use RALS to illuminate building interiors where power is not available.
Emergency Services
In the UK, many Fire Brigades have adopted the unique benefits and reliability of RALS as a solution in emergency situations where light is required quickly. Other Emergency Services also utilise the products, both in the UK and overseas. In the USA, Peli’s 9430 light is now in commission by the New York Fire Department, and was recently a crucial tool in the safe removal of fuel from the downed US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River.
London Underground
Peli RALS products have full approval for use by London Underground engineers, and their contractors.
