There are many industrial accidents every year in the United States. One-sixth of the accidents came from approximately 110,000 forklift events, resulting in direct economic cost losses of up to $135,000,000. However, the forklift driver's forklift accident during his working life has not only occurred once, but at least 80% of forklift accidents involve pedestrians.Therefore, more and more forklifts are now equipped with forklift safety lights and this greatly reduces the accident of the forklift at work.The Red Zone puts a bright red line on the floor, near the forklift, to show pedestrians where they are not allowed. It projects a red zone of light onto the ground to warning pedestrians and vehicles to stay out of dangerous work place.
This Light has many applications:
Create No Go Zones in your work place,
NO more painting the floor. Mounted in production line areas,
Loading Bays, Danger Areas, Conveyer belt areas,
ETC.Big saving on maintenance costs. Fit and Forget.
But in fact, some forklift LED safety lights do not work well in bright working conditions.However, laser safety lights have an advantage over ordinary LED forklift safety lights.
Advantages of forklift laser light:
Higher brightness，even in a bright working environment, it is easy to be noticed by pedestrians.
Fast response and low brightness attenuation.
Small size, easy installation, low energy consumption and long life.
Is it necessary to worry about the damage of the Maxtree forklift laser safety light to the human eye?
Lasers are classified for safety purposes based on their potential for causing injury to humans’ eyes and skin.
Most laser products are required by law to have a label listing the Class. It will be listed either in Arabic numerals (1 2, 3R, 3B, 4) or in Roman numerals (I, II, IIIa, IIIb, IV). At this website, we primarily use the Arabic numerals, for convenience.
For visible-beam consumer lasers, there are four main classes. Each is described in more detail here: Class 2, Class 3R, Class 3B and Class 4. The first two Classes are relatively safe for eye exposure; the last two are hazardous. The chart below shows how the eye injury hazard increases as the laser’s power increases.
The hazard level of the laser is divided by power.so it cannot be assessed by hazard level after installation.When the laser is transmitted as a line laser through an optical instrument,it will be treated very different from a regular collimated laser source.Regular laser beams are very dangerous. For class 2, we can have maximum 1mW.For extended sources like line lasers, we can have somewhat between 1.5 and 5mW into the eye pupil. The pupil is measured with 7mm diameter.This means, we can have minimum 1.5mW per 7mm aperture.Once the laser line gets wider than 7mm, this will increase the exposure surface, and at the same time decrease laser power at the aperture of 7mm.So this is not harmful to the human eye.
