Up to 111,300 lumens from 156 lenses in a single cast housing, IP69K and IK10, for the heaviest cranes, mining and offshore. The flagship of our floodlight line, and Mammoet’s choice for the SK6000, the largest land crane in the world.
The Orca is available in the same variants as the Barracuda: in AC and DC versions, made entirely of 316L stainless steel for extreme corrosion conditions, and as a high-temperature version rated up to +120 degrees. The mounting options are also designed to meet these requirements, ranging from rear-mount brackets and self-stabilizing brackets to the Orca Crane Bracket for tower cranes.
The Orca is designed for the most demanding lighting applications: locations where maximum light output per fixture is critical and where mechanical stress, weather, and continuous operation determine the service life of standard fixtures. Fewer fixtures, fewer cables, and fewer mounting points—all while maintaining heavy-duty ruggedness. It is not intended for every application, and it is precisely by being clear about this that we can provide better advice and achieve a better end result.
| The maximum light output needed per luminaire is: up to 111,300 lumens from a single housing |
| Large distances must be bridged: with the 14-degree spot up to approximately 700 meters |
| maximum impact resistance IK10 and IP69K protection are stringent requirements |
| Fewer luminaires, cables and mounting points are desired on large cranes and installations |
| The mounting position requires a stabilizing bracket, a rear mount, or the Orca Crane Bracket |
| Corrosive environments require a completely 316L stainless steel design |
| The ambient temperature rises to +120 degrees and an HT version is required |
| Replacement costs and downtime carry more weight than the lowest purchase price |
| Weight and limited installation space are the deciding factors: then the Barracuda or Shark logical |
| The required light output per position is also achievable with a smaller luminaire |
| The load-bearing capacity of the structure is limited: the fixture weighs 22.7 kg |
| Complete light shielding, full cut-off, is required against light pollution: then is DarkLicht more appropriate |
| ATEX or Ex certification is required: the Orca does not have it |
| A standard indoor luminaire for light applications will suffice |
The Orca is included as a standard component on the largest cranes and machines from leading manufacturers. On ring cranes such as the SK6000 and the PTC 210 DS, a single Orca can easily replace two smaller fixtures, including cables and mounting points.
Fewer fixtures, fewer cables, and fewer mounting points—all while maintaining heavy-duty ruggedness. That’s why the world’s heaviest cranes roll off the assembly line equipped with the Orca.

Bracket adjustment range ±240 degrees in 30-degree steps, on all versions. Connection is always a pre-assembled cable with free wire ends and a remote driver. North American configurations are available upon request.
The lifespan is determined according to LM-80 and projected using TM-21, in accordance with IEC 62717:2014. No lumen degradation is observable over the entire measurement period; the projection is therefore reported as greater than 360,000 hours. The value pertains to the LEDs. The measurement report is available upon request.
The Orca owes its standing not only to its cast aluminum housing containing less than 0.08 percent copper, its titanium-based e-coating, and its IK10 impact-resistant front, but also to the mounting system that supports it. Especially on large cranes, mining equipment, and offshore installations, the mounting system determines whether a luminaire will reach the end of its service life.
| Stabilizing bracket Self-stabilizing suspension in 304 or 316 stainless steel that automatically keeps the lamp level in a crane boom, ensuring the light beam remains directed at the work zone at every boom stage. |
| Stabilizing bracket with driver The same stabilization, with the remote driver mounted directly to the bracket for a single compact unit. |
| Rearmount bracket For mounting the driver box directly on the back of the luminaire, where an external driver position is not possible. |
| Orca Crane Bracket Hot-dip galvanized crane frame with robust pin system, fitting all makes of tower cranes. See also tower crane lighting. |
Also loose on the boom
For lattice booms and crawler cranes, the self-stabilizing bracket is also available separately as Crane Light Stabilizer, with adjustable damping level per valve.

The Orca HT is the high-temperature version within the Orca family and the most powerful HT floodlight we offer. Where standard LED fixtures fail due to heat, the Orca HT continues to function at ambient temperatures up to +120 degrees, even in the presence of infrared radiation from ovens and smelters.
There are multiple versions: 240 or 320 W with a 120-degree light distribution, 55,400 or 73,600 lumens, and 240 or 320 W with high-temperature optics of 20, 40, or 60 degrees for directional lighting. All versions feature additional thermal protection, chemically toughened glass, a heat-resistant silicone cable, and a remote driver outside the hot zone. An infrared-reflecting printed circuit board is standard; a 316L stainless steel housing is available as an option.

The Orca is chosen not only for its power or lumens, but primarily for the way the light is directed. The lens angle determines where the light falls: a narrow spot concentrates the light up to one kilometer away, while a wide lens illuminates a large area up close.
Illumination over a very long distance. At 1,000 meters, there is still 1 lux in the beam axis.
Medium distance, 30 to 150 m
Broad beam, up to 250 m. Widely used in crane jibs
Wide illumination at short range, 15 to 80 m
Not every application requires the same light distribution. Particularly with cranes, machinery, and mobile installations, the mounting height, the operator's line of sight, and the shape of the work zone determine which combination of lens options yields the best result.
For projects where this must be demonstrably substantiated, we provide a lighting calculation custom: number of fixtures, positioning, and expected lighting levels in lux, in accordance with the NSVV code of conduct. The calculation is free of charge.

The Orca comes with a pre-assembled cable with spare wires and a remote driver. The number of luminaires per circuit breaker is determined by the inrush current, not the operating current: at 220 to 230 V, two fit on a B16 or C16 and four to five on a B32 or C32; at 400 V, the luminaires are distributed across three phases, and the total is three times as high. The complete load table and other electrical specifications are available upon request.

Is your question not listed? Call Lucas de Graaf directly.
Yes. With 111,300 lumens from a single die-cast housing, the Orca is the most powerful industrial floodlight on the market that is also IP69K-rated. Thanks to careful thermal engineering—featuring 156 lenses mounted on a housing designed for maximum heat dissipation—the light output remains consistent even during continuous operation.
The Orca is essentially a larger version of the Barracuda: it shares the same design philosophy, coatings, and variants (AC/DC, 316L stainless steel, and HT), but with 800 W and up to 111,300 lumens compared to 320 W and 44,650 lumens. Choose the Barracuda when the more compact size and lower weight are more suitable; choose the Orca when maximum light output per position is required.
The Shark delivers approximately 50,000 lumens at 320 W and is optimized for efficiency and a low weight of 9.2 kg. The Orca, with 800 W and 111,300 lumens, is designed for maximum output per housing and, at 22.7 kg, is correspondingly heavier. On large cranes and installations, a single Orca can easily replace two smaller fixtures, including cables and mounting points.
The Snapper HC achieves up to approximately 83,000 lumens by combining multiple lightweight Snapper units and is the lightweight path to high output. The Orca delivers even more light—111,300 lumens—from a single die-cast, heavy-duty housing with IK10 impact resistance: the more robust choice for impacts, vibrations, and the harshest environments.
In most cases, it is not used as primary site lighting. For site lighting and area lighting—where large areas need to be illuminated from tall poles without causing light pollution—the DarkLicht solutions are a more logical and efficient choice. On tall poles at work sites, such as in the mining industry, the Orca, on the other hand, is a proven choice.
The correct lens angle depends on the mounting height, desired illuminance, surface area, and the nature of the work. There is no universal rule of thumb that adequately determines this. The right choice is supported by a lighting calculation in a simulation program. We perform this for you, tailored to your situation: this determines not only the lens angle, but also the number of fixtures, the positioning, and the expected illumination levels in lux.
The Orca is certified in accordance with CE and IEC 60598. IEC 60598 is the international standard for lighting fixtures and includes requirements for construction, electrical safety, and thermal behavior. Electromagnetic compatibility has been tested in accordance with EN 55015 and EN 61547, and the power supply has been tested in accordance with EN 61000-3-2 Class C and EN 61000-3-3. The control system complies with IEC 62386 Parts 101, 102, and 207 for DALI-2. The corrosivity class is C5-M and C5-I according to ISO 12944, supported by a 1,000-hour salt spray test in accordance with ISO 9227. In addition, the Orca helps ensure compliance with EN 12464-2 for the safe lighting of industrial outdoor workplaces.
Yes. The aluminum alloy housing contains less than 0.08 percent copper to minimize galvanic corrosion and is coated with a chromium conversion coating and a two-layer titanium-based e-coating; the bracket is made of high-tensile 316L stainless steel as standard, and all screws are 316 stainless steel, sealed against vibration. The design has been tested with a salt spray exposure of 1,000 hours in accordance with ISO 9227 and thus meets the corrosivity class C5-M and C5-I according to ISO 12944, the most robust standard class for industrial and maritime outdoor environments. For environments with corrosive chemicals or extremely salty water, the Orca is available entirely in 316L, with a 20-year warranty on the housing.
Yes. The Orca is IP69K-certified, which means the fixture can withstand high-pressure and steam jet cleaning. This is tested in accordance with the IP69K standard: high-pressure, high-temperature water jets from all angles. This makes it suitable for environments where machines and equipment are periodically subjected to intensive cleaning.
No, the Orca is not currently ATEX-certified. The fixture is not intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (Zone 1, Zone 2, or similar). For applications where ATEX certification is required, we recommend discussing this with us in advance so that a suitable solution can be determined.
Copper in aluminum alloys accelerates galvanic corrosion when the aluminum is in contact with stainless steel or seawater. By deliberately keeping the copper content below 0.08 percent, this corrosion chain is broken. In combination with the 316L bracket and the titanium-based e-coating, this results in a luminaire that maintains its structural integrity even with prolonged exposure to saline or corrosive environments. This is a deliberate material choice, not a standard specification.
Yes. The Orca was developed for the largest cranes, mining machinery, and offshore installations where continuous vibrations and severe shocks are part of the operating environment. The components are both soldered and bonded; the screws are made of 316 stainless steel and are sealed; and the housing is cast rather than assembled. For moving mounting positions, we supply self-stabilizing brackets, and for tower cranes, the Orca Crane Bracket with a robust pin system. We currently have No test report with a standardized vibration class, for example, in accordance with IEC 60068-2-6 or IEC 60068-2-27. If your project requires a verifiable G-value, we will assess in advance what level of substantiation is feasible, rather than citing a value that we cannot verify.
The Orca is low-maintenance and requires no periodic maintenance after installation. There are no consumable parts or modules that need to be replaced; the driver is mounted remotely and is therefore accessible separately. The recommended inspection points are standard for luminaires in harsh environments: check the cable gland for proper sealing, verify that the mounting bolts are torqued correctly, and keep the cooling fins free of dust, grease, or buildup.
This value concerns the LEDs themselves. In practice, the LED is rarely the limiting factor. The remote driver has a specified lifespan of at least 100,000 hours at a housing temperature of 75 °C and an MTBF of more than 320,000 hours according to MIL-HDBK-217F; consequently, in virtually every application, the driver is more decisive than the LEDs. In addition, environmental stress, temperature, corrosion, mechanical load, and installation quality determine the actual lifespan in the field. We prefer to state both values separately rather than as a single system figure, because only then is it possible to assess which component will need replacement first.
The standard Orca AC supports 180 to 528 VAC and is designed for phase-to-phase and high-current connections, as commonly found on large cranes and industrial installations; a 250 to 740 VDC version is available as an option. The DC version is available for 24V systems (20 to 35 VDC) and 48V systems (35 to 60 VDC). The HT versions are available in 90 to 305 VAC and 180 to 528 VAC. The correct version is selected at the time of ordering; if in doubt, we will coordinate this with you in advance.
Yes. All AC versions are dimmable via 0–10 V, PWM, and DALI-2, with a dimming range of 10 to 100 percent. The DALI version complies with IEC 62386 parts 101, 102, and 207. The dimming input is galvanically isolated and the driver is programmable, which also enables a fixed current setting, time-based dimming, and constant lumen output. For the DC versions, we tailor the control system to the onboard electrical grid. Please contact us to discuss the options for your configuration.
Yes. The Orca is included as a standard component on the largest cranes and machines from leading manufacturers, including the Mammoet SK6000, the world’s largest land crane. For mass production, we tailor the lens angle, voltage configuration, color temperature, and mounting accessory to the specific machine architecture.
The complete set of dimensions, including the mounting pattern and bracket cross-sections, is included in the product datasheet: product dimensions 500 × 441 × 96 mm; bracket adjustable ±240 degrees in 30-degree increments. The datasheet is available in the downloads section or upon request. For project-specific mounting, in addition to the standard bracket, we also supply stabilizing brackets, the rear-mount bracket, and the Orca Crane Bracket.
No. The Orca is certified in accordance with CE and IEC 60598, but there is No type approval from a classification society such as DNV, Lloyd’s Register, Bureau Veritas, or ABS. For shipbuilding and offshore projects where class approval is explicitly required, we discuss in advance what documentation the project requires and which design option comes closest to meeting those requirements. We prefer to address this on this page rather than halfway through the quotation process, so that you can make an informed decision early on.
The remote driver for the AC version has built-in overvoltage protection of 6 kV line-to-line and 10 kV line-to-earth, tested in accordance with IEC 61000-4-5. The luminaire also features a varistor that can dissipate up to 6,000 A with a response speed of 1,000 V/µs, as well as ESD protection on the connection wires. The driver automatically shuts down and restarts in the event of undervoltage, limits the output voltage to 110 percent, and reduces the output power when the housing temperature exceeds approximately 105 °C. In locations with an increased risk of lightning strikes, such as freestanding masts and harbor cranes, we recommend installing additional surge protection in the power distribution cabinet.
That is not determined by the operating current, but by the inrush current. The inrush peak is 5.4 A at 220 V and 13.3 A at 400 V, for 7 to 8 milliseconds at half-peak value. Based on this, the driver manufacturer provides the following guideline: at 220 to 230 V, two luminaires on a B16 or C16, three on a B25, and four to five on a B32 or C32. At 400 V, the luminaires are distributed over three phases, making the total per three-phase circuit breaker three times as high. The operating current is approximately 2.1 A at 380 V and approximately 3.6 A at 220 V. The complete table, including D-characteristic and 277 and 480 V, is available upon request.
The color consistency of each LED is 3-step MacAdam ellipse. This means that the color difference between individual LEDs remains within three standard deviations of the target color and is not perceptible to the human eye as a color difference. For a luminaire with 156 lenses in a single housing, this is no minor detail: with a wider binning, color differences become visible as spots in the beam—precisely at the long distances for which the Orca is used. The color rendering index is standard at over 70 and is optionally available at 80 or 90.
The article number consists of the luminaire type and the color temperature, for example ORAC01-65K for the Orca AC in 6500 K. The color temperatures are 65K, 40K, 27K, and 22K amber, plus BIC for the two-color version.
The model codes for each version are: ORAC01 Orca AC, ORDC01 Orca DC, ORSS01 Orca 316L AC, ORSS02 Orca 316L DC, ORHT01 Orca HT, ORHT02 Orca HT with optics, ORHT03 Orca 316L HT and ORHT04 Orca 316L HT with optics. The mounting accessories include, among others, TPGR026 for the rear mount bracket and TPGR031 for the Crane Light Stabilizer.
The lens angle is specified separately when ordering and is not part of the basic article number. The HS code of the luminaires is 9405500090.
