Lowell Lights Up Rack Workspace
— New Magnetic-Mount Light Bars and 19 in. Rackmount Light Panels —

PACIFIC, MO — Lowell Manufacturing Company, a U.S. manufacturer of professional A/V products celebrating its 70th year, unveiled two new lighting products for 19 in. equipment racks—the RLB Series of vertical-mount light bars and the RPL Series of rackmount panels. “The ideas developed out of lighting our team assembled for trade show displays,” said Kathleen Lane, Marketing Communications Manager. “Customers were drawn to the bright rack interiors and wanted to include that type of lighting in their own projects.”  

RLB Series light bars are designed to mount vertically to a rack’s rear corners or rails using magnetic backings to enable quick adjustments. Light bars are available in lengths from 16 to 60 inches to accommodate racks beginning at 10RU. Kits include two light bars, a power supply and choice of a manual rocker switch or an automatic proximity switch for convenient hands-free operation. The included hardware allows the switch to be mounted virtually anywhere inside or outside the rack.

The new RPL Series of rackmount light panels mounts in standard 19 in. rack space—to front/rear rack rails or to the top section of racks with 19 in. top openings. The 1U panels include five wide diffusion high-output LED modules (525 lumens), on/off button and power supply. 

Both products can be viewed at InfoComm17 Booth #6260.
