The Labcraft Banksman BM3 is a manoeuvring aid that delivers additional bright white light to the sides of any vehicle where traditional reversing lights cannot cover. LEDs are fitted around the chassis to direct pure bright light downwards and away from the vehicle, illuminating the area around and creating a safer working environment. The Banksman helps to reduce accidents and collisions incurred when manoeuvring, thereby reducing repair costs and insurance premiums.

By significantly improving driver visibility, it helps:

• Improve Safety
• Increase Productivity
• Reduce Costs

Regulation 48 and 23 approved

What is REG 48?

Reg 48 defines how and where these lamps must be installed on a vehicle.

Key points for REG 48 compliance are:

• They have to be activated by one of three conditions, the simplest one being the vehicle being put into reverse gear.
• They must switch off above 10km/h (6.4mph) in forward motion.
• The illuminated part of the lamp must not be seen on a plane 10m away from the vehicle.

What is REG 23?

Reg 23 defines the specification of Reversing & Manoeuvring lamps.

Key points for REG 23 compliance are:

• Colour of light MUST be White.
• The intensity of the light must not exceed 500cd (candela).
• The light must not have an intensity of more than 0.5cd in the field of view where light must not be seen.

Summary

The Banksman BM3 is the first manoeuvring light to be launched in Europe to enable OEMs, Operators and Fleets to meet Regulation 48 directives for lights installed pre-vehicle registration.

956 lumens

Long life, high intensity Cree LEDs product a clean white light generating 956 lumens and a light spread of over 20m2, creating a safer working environment.

Solid aluminium base This gives a robust product and ensures the LEDs run as cool as possible for longer life.

Multi-voltage (10-32V) Engineered to suit a broad range of vehicles and voltages, the circuit can withstand changes in voltage and will provide consistent light output. 

Waterproof to IP67 The tough outer enclosure and potting over more sensitive components provides protection against severe weather conditions and pressure washing.
