Calculated with ABB S200 at 220 V, from the manufacturer's MCB table. Guideline for the engineering phase and not a replacement for the installation calculation; for verification we provide a lighting advice and installation calculation. If there are multiple drivers in one luminaire, divide the number by that number of drivers.
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.
Driving light for very long distance, 50 to 300 m
Medium distance, 30 to 100 m
Wide illumination nearby, 15 to 60 m
Just targeted, up to 150 m. A lot in crane jibs.
| Optics | Beam angle 50 % | Veldhoek 10 % | Application distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14° spot | 13° | 27° | 50 to 300 m. In C90 it is 14.1° and 27.3°. |
| 38° | 37° | 69° | 30 to 100 m, symmetrical |
| 69° | 72° | 103° | 15 to 60 m, symmetrical |
| 14° × 46° flare | 13° × 45° | 30° × 70° | up to 150 m, asymmetric: 45° in C0 and 13° in C90 |
| Without lens (.NOP), 120° ultra-wide | 136° | 168° | Wide distribution in the immediate vicinity, many on mobile lighting towers |
The beam angle is the full angle between the directions in which the intensity has decreased to 50 % of the peak; the field angle is 10 %. The upward light output is 0 % at 0° tilt. Combinations of optics within a single luminaire are possible.
On cranes, mobile light towers, and heavy equipment, the mounting method determines whether a luminaire will reach the end of its service life. The Shark shares the mounting system with the Barracuda, including the 200 G heavy-duty bracket.
Damped mount that absorbs continuous vibrations and shocks up to 200 G. Developed for bulk handling and transshipment cranes.
The DRB-1 driver box mounts directly onto the back of the luminaire. One compact unit, with no separate driver position in the housing.
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.
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.
All dimensions in millimeters. The mounting pattern and bracket cross-sections are in the datasheet; DXF and STEP files are available upon request.

Where the Shark is installed in practice, and why there.
For harbor, transshipment, and tower cranes where efficiency and weight matter. The 35–60 VDC version connects directly to large electric cranes; with the Crane Light Stabilizer, the beam remains focused on the work area.
The second generation of the Barracuda, built on thirteen years of mining experience: haul trucks, excavators, and bulk-handling equipment. With a heavy-duty bracket rated up to 200 G.
For port cranes, offshore platforms, and ships. Standard titanium e-coating with IP69K, or in a white marine finish for integration into deck and crane equipment.
Light enough for quick setup and takedown, powerful enough to illuminate a long distance. The Shark is the standard choice for the 2Axle light tower, often in the .NOP version.
The same Shark, specially painted in Marine White for ships, offshore installations, and harbor cranes, where white is the standard color for deck and crane equipment. Identical lighting performance, IP69K, and IK10.
In addition, every Shark is available without optics, with the suffix .NOP following the part number: a wide 120° beam angle for mobile light towers and locations close to the work area.
| Colors | Titanium Black · Marine White |
| DC voltages | 20–35 and 35–60 VDC |
| Without lenses | .NOP, 120° very wide |
| Bi-color | 4000K with amber 2200K |
The 35–60 VDC version connects directly to large electric cranes. See also corrosion-resistant lighting.
Every claim carries its condition in the same sentence. You can read more about the test methods at Product Quality and Warranty.
Neutral salt spray test in accordance with ISO 9227, performed on a cast housing that had been scratched beforehand: no coating delamination after 1,007 hours.
Vibration-resistant up to 6 G at resonance according to IEC 60068-2-6; withstands shocks up to 200 G with the heavy-duty bracket.
Builds on thirteen years of Barracuda experience in the mining industry: the same platform and assembly program, more efficient and lighter per lumen.
Four pages with the full specification, dimensions and order code. Available for immediate download.
STEP or DXF for your own drawing work, including the mounting pattern of the bracket.
All 15 versions and optics of the Shark in EULUMDAT (.ldt) format, combined into a single 0.5 MB ZIP file. DIALux and Relux can read these files directly. The part number is included in the filename and in the file itself. We provide IES files upon request.
Is your question not listed, or would you like something calculated? An engineer will respond within 1 business day.
The Shark is the second generation on the Barracuda platform: with the same power rating of 320 W, it delivers 50,000 lm instead of 44,100, and weighs 9.2 kg instead of 10.1. The Barracuda remains the go-to choice when a more compact size or the 316L and HT versions are required. The Orca delivers 111,300 lm from a single 22.7-kg housing.
For large electric cranes and systems that operate on 48 V systems. The SHDC02 connects directly to these systems, without an external driver: approx. 6.7 A at 48 V. For the standard 24 V on-board power system, there is the SHDC01.
For the AC version with the BLD320 driver: 2 on a B16, 4 on a C16, 7 on a C25, and 8 on a D16. These figures are taken from the manufacturer’s MCB table at 220 V, calculated using ABB S200, and apply per driver. They are intended as a guideline for the engineering phase and are not a substitute for the installation calculation.
Yes. The AC version can be dimmed using 0–10 V, PWM, and DALI-2, and can also be configured via NFC. With the DC versions, dimming requires customization because they use a constant current.
That depends on the mounting height, the desired illuminance, the shape of the work area, and the operator’s line of sight. We support this with a light calculation. The datasheet lists the measured angle, not the optic name: the 69° optic measures 72°. Without optics (.NOP), the Shark provides a wide 120° distribution.
Yes. The housing contains less than 0.08 % copper to minimize galvanic corrosion and has a two-layer titanium-based e-coating; the bracket is made of 316L. This meets corrosion class C5 Industrial and Maritime standards. There is no fully 316L version of the Shark; if that requirement is mandatory, consider the Barracuda 316L or the Snapper 316L.
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.
Yes. 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, the heavy-duty bracket is available up to 200 G, and for crane booms, the Crane Light Stabilizer is available.
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. In practice, the LED is rarely the limiting factor; environmental conditions and installation quality determine the luminaire’s actual performance in the field.
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.
Yes. With DC versions in 24 V and 35–60 V, the .NOP option, and the shared mounting program, the Shark is designed for integration into cranes, light poles, and machines. For series production, we tailor the optics, voltage, color temperature, and mounting to the machine architecture.
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.
