Decision Aid

When should you choose the Barracuda?

The luminaire is at its strongest where impact, dust, moisture, and continuous operation come together, and where downtime directly means operational costs.

Maximum impact resistance and IP69K are mandatory requirements
The luminaire must withstand continuous vibrations and shocks, up to 200 G with the heavy-duty bracket
The mounting position requires a specific bracket: rear mount, Crane Light Stabilizer, or boom frame
A lot of light per luminaire is required for cranes, heavy equipment, or bulk handling facilities
AC and DC occur within a single fleet
The environment is corrosive or reaches +120 °C

When another luminaire fits better

The Barracuda is not intended for every task. Being clear about its limitations leads to a better end result.

Weight and installation space are decisive factors: then the Snapper or the Marlin
Maximum lumens per watt and per kilo is the main requirement: then the Shark
One luminaire must span a large area or high mast position: then the Orca
Complete light blocking against light pollution is required: then DarkLicht
ATEX or Ex certification is required
A standard indoor luminaire for light applications will suffice

Optics

Optics and measured beam angles

The lens angle determines where the light ends up. Below are the measured angles from our own IES library, with the optic name as the order code next to it. An optic name is not a measured value: the 69° optic measures 72°. If you are in doubt between two angles, we will substantiate the choice with a free lighting calculation.

14° spot

Driving light for very long distance, 50 to 300 m

38° floodlight

Medium distance, 30 to 100 m

69° wide floodlight

Wide illumination nearby, 15 to 60 m

14° × 46° flare

Just targeted, up to 150 m. A lot in crane jibs.

Optics	Beam angle 50 %	Veldhoek 10 %	Application distance

Mounting

Video editing software

On cranes, mining equipment, and material-handling systems, the mounting method determines whether a light luminaire will reach the end of its service life. That is why the Barracuda is available with application-specific brackets.

Heavy-duty bracket

Damped mount that absorbs continuous vibrations and shocks up to 200 G. Developed for bulk handling and transshipment cranes.

Rear mount bracket

The DRB-1 driver box mounts directly onto the back of the luminaire. One compact unit, with no separate driver position in the housing.

Crane Light Stabilizer

Self-stabilizing suspension that keeps the lamp level in a crane jib, so that the beam remains aimed at the work zone at every jib stage.

jib frame tower crane

Stackable frame for mounting in the jib of flat-top tower cranes.

A fall protection cable is optionally available and is often a strict requirement when installed above a work area. The DRB-1 driver box houses the remote driver and is mounted directly behind the luminaire using the rear mount bracket. The Crane Light Stabilizer has its own product page. For tower cranes see also Tower crane lighting.

Dimensioning

Where standard LED luminaires fail due to heat, the Barracuda HT continues to function, even when exposed to infrared radiation from furnaces and smelters. The luminaire comes standard with additional thermal protections, chemically toughened glass, and an infrared-reflective circuit board.

The driver stays outside the hot zone: a 15-meter-long SiHF-OB cable bridges the distance to the BLD320, which fits into the DRB-1 driver box. Optionally in a 316L enclosure.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is your question not listed, or would you like something calculated? An engineer will respond within 1 business day.

Is the Barracuda a work light?

No. The Barracuda is a heavy-duty industrial floodlight. It is designed for applications that require high light output, wide beam spread, and mechanical ruggedness,precisely the conditions in which a work light becomes the weak link. For local work lighting on a machine, the Piranha and the Goby are the logical choices.

What is the difference between the Snapper, the Shark, and the Orca?

The Snapper is compact and lightweight, weighing 2.7 kg and rated IP67, with a luminous flux of up to approximately 31,000 lm. The Shark delivers approximately 50,000 lm at 320 W and is optimized for the lowest weight per lumen. The Orca delivers 111,300 lm from a single 22.7 kg housing. The Barracuda falls in between, distinguished by its mounting options: heavy-duty bracket up to 200 G, rear mount, Crane Light Stabilizer, and boom frame.

How many luminaires are allowed on a single circuit breaker?

For the AC version with the TLD320 driver: 4 on a B16, 7 on a C16, 11 on a C25, and 8 on a D16. For the HT with the BLD320: 2, 4, 7, and 8. These numbers are from the manufacturer's MCB table at 220 V, calculated using ABB S200, and apply per driver. This is a guideline for the engineering phase and is not a replacement for the installation calculation.

Can the Barracuda be dimmed or integrated into a control system?

Yes. The AC versions dim via 0–10 V, PWM, and DALI-2, and can also be configured via NFC. Dimming for the DC version is custom-made, as it uses a constant current. Furthermore, each AC model can be programmed to a lower wattage: when ordering, you place the suffix after the article code, for example .240W.

Which lens angle should I choose?

That depends on mounting height, desired illuminance, the shape of the work zone, and the operator's line of sight. There is no rule of thumb that adequately determines this. We substantiate this with a lighting calculation, which also specifies the number of luminaires, positioning, and expected lux levels. The datasheet shows the measured angle, not the optic name: the 69° optic measures 72°.

Can the Barracuda be used in corrosive environments?

Yes. The aluminum housing contains less than 0.08 % copper to minimize galvanic corrosion and features a two-layer titanium-based e-coating; the bracket is made of 316L as standard. This results in a corrosion class of C5 Industrial and Maritime. For aggressive chemicals or extremely salty water, the fully 316L version is available, with C5 and CX ratings, a PREN of approximately 24, and a 20-year warranty on the housing.

What does the warranty actually cover?

Standard five years on the complete luminaire. For a 316L housing, twenty years apply to the housing itself and five years on everything else: electronics, components, and seals. That distinction is intentional, so that you do not replace a driver after eight years under the assumption that it fell under the twenty-year period. The HT version is rated for five years up to +120 °C.

Is the Barracuda resistant to high-pressure cleaning?

Yes. The luminaire has been tested to IP66, IP67, IP68, and IP69K. All of these classes are mentioned because they are different tests: IP69K is high-pressure and high-temperature steam jet, IP68 is immersion. One does not imply the other.

Is the Barracuda suitable for use in conditions with extreme vibrations?

Yes, that is the application for which it was developed. The vibration rating is 6 G at resonance, tested in accordance with IEC 60068-2-6, with shock testing in accordance with IEC 60068-2-27. For the most demanding load profiles, we supply the heavy-duty bracket rated up to 200 G, and for moving positions on a crane boom, the Crane Light Stabilizer.

What is the actual life expectancy?

The 360,000 hours is a TM-21 L90B05 value: at that point, at least 95 % of the luminaires will still be delivering at least 90 % of their initial light output. This is more stringent than the standard L70 and L80 specifications. Under continuous operation, this amounts to over 41 years. In practice, the LED is rarely the limiting factor; environmental stress, temperature, corrosion, and installation quality determine the luminaire’s actual performance in the field.

What maintenance does the luminaire require?

No periodic product maintenance and no consumable parts or replaceable modules. The inspection points are typical for harsh environments: check the cable gland for sealing, check the mounting bolts for correct torque, and keep the cooling fins free of dust, grease, and biological growth.

Is the Barracuda ATEX- or Ex-certified?

No. The luminaire is not intended for hazardous areas. If ATEX is a requirement, please discuss this in advance, and we will determine a suitable solution together.

Can the Barracuda be used in an OEM application or mass production?

Yes. For over thirteen years, the luminaire has been supplied as a standard component on mining equipment, cranes, and heavy machinery. For series production, we tailor the optics, voltage version, color temperature, and mounting accessories to the machine architecture.

What standards and certifications does the Barracuda have?

CE, IEC 60598, EN 55015, EN 61547 and the EMC Directive. IEC 60598 covers construction, electrical safety, and thermal behavior. In addition, the luminaire helps meet EN 12464-2 for the safe lighting of industrial outdoor workplaces. Configurations for North America are available upon request.
