DCbright is the brand under which we manufacture our products. JEL Products is its European extension: we handle development, final assembly, and service for this market, with a second location in Australia.
Orca, the most powerful floodlight in the lineup: 800 W, 111,300 lm
DCbright fixtures are designed for heavy industry: mining, ports, offshore, cranes, and construction. They offer high light output per fixture and are built to withstand dust, heat, moisture, and vibration.
We are not a reseller. Development, final assembly, and service for Europe take place at our facility in Nijkerk, and from here we also supply projects outside of it.
A single point of contact who knows the fixture inside out: for selection, for custom work, and for parts, even years after delivery.
Not a catalogue, but the four categories into which the program is divided, showing the luminous flux per luminaire so you can immediately see if the range is right. Which one within a category is chosen depends on the mounting height, surface area, and the matching beam angle. We calculate this before anything is ordered.
Rugged floodlights with lens optics, for cranes, mining, offshore, and construction sites. Where the light needs to be directed somewhere, and conditions are tough.
Compact, for mobile machinery: reach stackers, forklifts, smaller construction equipment, and workplace lighting. Also available in a DC version for the vehicle electrical system.

| Stainless steel versions, 316L | Extreme corrosion |
| Floodlight IP rating | IP69K and IK10 |
| Protection Class DarkLicht | IP67 and IK08 |

| ATEX | out of stock |
DarkLicht Two: 172 lm/W net and 0% upward luminous flux
If nothing fits, we design a version that does: a different bracket, an external driver box, a customized optical system, or a housing that fits the existing mounting. That is no exception here; a large part of our projects includes at least one custom component, and that comes from our own workshop.
From a ring crane in Rotterdam to mines in Australia and Chile and a terminal in Vlaardingen. For each project, it states what was applied, with the values as they appear on the datasheet.
The world’s largest slewing crane, equipped with Orca floodlights. In the Port of Rotterdam, they are now installed on dozens of cranes: plenty of light on the hook, with as few fixtures as possible on the boom.
| Luminaire | Orca |
| Power | 800 W |
| Luminous flux | 111300 lm |
| Yield | 139 lm/W |
| Optics | asymmetric |
| Protection | IP69K and IK10 |
Barracuda floodlights mounted on light poles in extremely dusty conditions. The first DCbright fixture was installed on a light pole here in 2013; that application is the reason the housings are so robust.
| Luminaire | Barracuda |
| Power | 320 W |
| Luminous flux | 44.650 lm |
| Yield | 139 lm/W |
| Optics | symmetrical |
| Protection | IP69K and IK10 |
The entire terminal was converted to DarkLicht. Power consumption decreased by 53%, and visibility on the site improved, with no radiation affecting the water or the surrounding area.
| Luminaire | DarkLicht |
| Power | 400 to 1,200 W |
| Luminous flux | 69,000 to 206,000 lm |
| Yield | 172 lm/W |
| Optics | reflector, full cut-off |
| Protection | IP67 and IK08 |
Two luminaires with the same luminous flux can produce a completely different result. What makes the difference is the beam: how narrow or wide the light is directed, and whether this is done with a lens or a reflector. We select the optics per position and assemble the luminaire with those optics inside.
spotlight, floodlight
For long distances: a crane hook at height or a point far from the mast.
Breeder's scope
A medium-distance work surface, evenly covered without hotspots.
asymmetrical spotlight
Narrow in one direction, wide in the other: for tracks, quays, and booms.
wide-angle floodlight
Close and wide: a workstation or loading zone directly under the luminaire.
In the floodlights, each LED has a lens that concentrates the light. This provides a high luminous intensity in the beam and a wide choice of beam angles, from a narrow spot for long distances to a wide beam for a nearby work surface. It is the right technology when the light needs to go somewhere: a crane hook, a loading floor, an inspection point.
DarkLicht does not use a lens but rather a patented reflector. As a result, the fixture hangs horizontally yet still projects a sharply defined beam downward: 0% upward light output, so no light shines into the eyes of a train operator or a boat captain. This is the technology for yards, docks, and any location where the surrounding area is visible.
Development, final assembly, and final inspection for the European market are handled at our facility in Nijkerk; our second location in Australia serves the mining market there. Because the design department, the workshop, and the engineers are all under one roof, custom work is the norm here.
The heat must be dissipated; otherwise, the LEDs won't reach their full lifespan. The housing, heat sink, and driver position are designed together, not separately.
Lenses for floodlights, a patented reflector for DarkLicht. The optics are selected to match the fixture and are built into it.
Assembly, mounting of the optics, connection of the driver, and final sealing take place in Nijkerk, per order.
Each fixture is tested before shipment. The values on our datasheets are in-house measurements, not supplier specifications.
Any shortcomings identified at a terminal or on a crane are addressed in the design here. That’s the benefit of having development and implementation under one roof.
Mining Equipment: Dust, Vibration, and Heat All at Once
Dust, heat, cold, moisture, and vibration—usually all at once. That’s different from a fixture that simply lasts a long time in a warehouse: we’re talking about a housing that can withstand a high-pressure washer, a driver that survives a voltage dip, and a mounting that withstands vibration without cracking. Everything we assemble here goes through the same final inspection before it leaves the facility.
In an industrial project, this factor carries more weight than the purchase price. The answer is straightforward: there are parts that wear out, and those can be replaced individually—either by us or by you, following our instructions.
| Warranty on the entire fixture | 5 years |
| With a maintenance contract, on the housing | up to 10 years |
| LED Lifespan, DarkLicht | 103,500 hours, L90B05 |
| AC Driver Service Life | more than 130,000 hours |
| Replaceable individually | LED module, driver, optics, glass |
| Repair and Overhaul | in our own workshop |
The service life values listed above apply to DarkLicht. The specifications for each fixture are listed on the datasheet; we prefer to provide the value for your specific fixture rather than a range for the entire product line.
LED modules, drivers, optics, and lenses are stored here. In the event of a malfunction, a single component goes out the door, not a new fixture.
The fixtures are designed in such a way that your own technical department can replace a module or driver with our instructions included.
Damaged fixtures come back to our workshop and are put back to work after being overhauled. That is usually cheaper than replacing them and saves waste.
If you already have a DCbright from a previous project, we will support it, even if we did not supply it. Please provide the model and year of manufacture.
Ten questions, to be read expanded. If your question is not listed, you can call an engineer.
+31 6 1054 4770, Lucas de Graaf, Technical Director
We are the European extension of the brand. Development, assembly, final inspection, engineering, delivery, and service for the European market take place here in Nijkerk, and from there we also supply projects outside of Europe. That is more than distribution: we build the fixtures here and remain the party responsible for what is installed.
In Nijkerk. There, the development department, the workshop, and the final inspection department are all located in the same building as the engineers who perform the lighting calculations. DCbright has a second branch in Australia, which primarily serves the mining market there.
Two things. The efficiency: DarkLicht achieves 172 lm/W net, the floodlights 139 lm/W—and these are measured values for the complete fixture, not for the bare LED. And the construction: IP69K and IK10 for the floodlights, IP67 and IK08 for the DarkLicht, with housings that can withstand a high-pressure washer, vibration, and salt air. What we don’t claim: that it’s the cheapest fixture available everywhere.
That varies by fixture and is listed on the datasheet. For the DarkLicht, the specification is 103,500 hours L90B05: after that time, at least 95% of the fixtures will still provide at least 90% of their original light output. The AC drivers last more than 130,000 hours. We prefer to list LEDs and drivers separately rather than giving a single figure for the entire product line, because in practice, the driver is usually the first component that needs to be replaced.
Yes. LED modules, drivers, optics, and lenses are available separately and are in stock. Your own technical department can replace them with our instruction; if you prefer not to do that, we will overhaul the luminaire in our workshop. Furthermore, maintenance is limited to cleaning and a visual inspection of the mounting and cable entry.
Five years on the complete luminaire. As long as a maintenance contract is in place with us or with a party designated by us, we extend the warranty on the housing to ten years. Installation by your own installer does not limit the warranty, provided it is done according to our installation instructions.
Frequently so. A different bracket, an external driver box, deviating cable lengths, customized optics, or a housing that fits your existing mounting: we make that here. In the case of larger deviations, we conduct a co-engineering process with a test sample before a production run begins.
Yes. HT versions are suitable for up to +120 °C ambient temperature, with customized components and coatings. For extreme corrosion, there are stainless steel versions in 316L. Which of the two you need depends on the conditions; we will also tell you when the standard version suffices.
No. We do not have an ATEX-certified luminaire and do not supply one. For an environment with a zone classification, we illuminate the surrounding area and refer you to a specialized supplier for the zone itself.
Yes. Upon request, we will install a fixture at your own location, on your own mast or machine, so that you can evaluate it under your conditions. A demonstration at our facility says little about dust, height, and distance at your site. For larger projects, that is the most reliable evaluation available.
We do not recommend a luminaire without knowing the situation. Provide the mounting height, surface area, and conditions, and you will receive a well-founded choice along with the datasheet.
