Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the voltage range for the CT 1177378 LED strobe light?
A: The CT 1177378 operates from 12VDC to 80VDC, providing a wider voltage range than the CT 117378 (which maxes at 48VDC). This makes it compatible with higher-voltage Caterpillar and Mitsubishi electric lift truck systems. Match your equipment voltage before ordering.
Q: What is the difference between the CT 1177378 and CT 117378 strobe lights?
A: The CT 1177378 uses an amber LED lamp and supports 12VDC to 80VDC operation, while the CT 117378 uses a strobe tube lamp and operates at 12VDC to 48VDC. LED models generally have longer lifespan and lower power consumption. Choose based on your equipment voltage requirements and performance preferences.
Q: What mounting style does the CT 1177378 use?
A: The CT 1177378 features bolt-on mounting compatible with Caterpillar and Mitsubishi electric lift trucks. Verify bolt hole spacing and diameter match your equipment before ordering.
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for CT 1177378?
A: The CT 1177378 equivalent part number is CT1177378 (without the space). The OEM number is 1177378. Confirm part numbers when ordering to avoid receiving incorrect components.
Q: How long does the LED lamp in the CT 1177378 last compared to a strobe tube?
A: LED lamps typically last 10,000 to 50,000 operating hours, significantly longer than strobe tubes which last 2,000 to 3,000 hours. This extended lifespan reduces replacement frequency and maintenance costs in high-use environments.
