1. Your Utility Light units cost a little more than others. What makes them worth it?
You get what you pay for. The competition's flat-back rubber units use 50% less rubber, and their mounting brackets are riveted to the unit. Using more rubber in our Utility Light absorbs shocks that wipe out cheaper products. And Cascade Utility Lights are engineered to deflect external damage from tree limbs, falling rock, other machines, etc. that will tear the less expensive units. Our mounts are molded with square steel tubing reinforcements inside. Rivet-set mounts tear easily. This adds up to money in your pocket.

2. Where can I get glass sealed beams to fit in your unit?
Cascade Utility Lights are designed to fit most 6-to-72 volt round PAR 36 or PAR 46 sealed beams. In the UL4-36 unit the most commonly used round glass sealed beams are the 12 volt 4411 tractor flood and the 24 volt 4589 CIM flood. In the UL5-46 unit the most commonly used round glass sealed beams are the 12 volt 4419 tractor flood and the 24 volt 4578 CIM flood. The readily available PAR 46 4000 12 volt automotive HI-LO headlight or the 4001 HI headlight can also be used when other sealed beams are not available. You'll find these at your local auto parts store or industrial supply house for more specialized applications.

3. Where would I have seen your units before?
Over the last 35 years, over 200,000 have been sold to the heavy equipment industry and users in North America, Central America, South America, Australia, and Africa. The units have carried the brand names of Heavy Duty Rubber Lighthousing, the Esley Lighthousing, and others. It has been sold by Federal Signal Corp., Target Tech, McMaster-Carr, and used as an OEM part by Atlas Copco and Eimco-Jarvis Clark. Every type of heavy machinery dealer and user has bought our product--including Caterpillar, John Deere, Hyster, and so many more.

4. What happens if units tear or get knocked off the equipment?
It can happen - but only if your equipment takes quite a blow! Because we can't control the extreme work conditions Cascade Utility Lights are subjected to, there is no warranty for length of service. These light housings are guaranteed to do one thing - hold a glass sealed beam so it can light the desired work area for the operator. Use or abuse by the machine operator or situation is not the fault of the unit. It will hold up better and last many times longer than ordinary light holders and still bounce back after it has been abused.

5. How do I know I need your Utility Light and not something else?
If you have ever replaced any of your dented, ripped off, or rusted Utility Lights to keep your equipment operating, you need Cascade Utility Lights. Of course, sealed beams break and burn out - but our unit assures you have a place to put that new sealed beam so your equipment is back on the job quickly.

6. What rubber do you use for your Utility Lights?
The rubber itself is EPDM. This is a petroleum-based rubber that is designed for longer life than ordinary rubber. It is "ozone resistant," meaning that sunlight does not cause the rubber to crack and dry out like most rubber items left in the sun. It retains its flexibility and ability to hold its shape for easy sealed beam replacement. Also, EPDM rubber requires no further maintenance like painting or washing. It also almost always matches the color of the vehicle-the color of its rubber tires or treads.

7. What is the biggest complaint you receive about your Utility Light?
Operators like Cascade Utility Lights so much that they tend to disappear. Our light housings wind up on snowplows, pickup light bars, 4 wheelers, dune buggies, and anywhere else that extra light is needed. One order we shipped to a paper mill in the Northeast was delivered to the wrong loading dock. When it was finally tracked down, all the units had been mounted on the warehouse forklifts instead of the outside yarders where they were intended. We made two sales to that plant-and everyone was happy!
