Card table reading lamp
Technology designed for demanding military environments
ABEILLON card table reading lamps have been specially developed to meet the specific needs of operators in military , armored vehicles, aircraft, surface ships or submarines. They are distinguished by a robust design, lighting based on the implementation of LED technology and ergonomics designed for intensive use, even in extreme conditions.
Conjugating light performance, sustainability of components and installation versatility , they are used on desks, command posts or navigation tables, and easily integrate into different technical environments.


Powerful LED lighting, reliable and without loss
All the lamps have the latest generation LEDs , ensuring a color temperature around 5700K red, blue or green options depending on the model. This configuration makes it possible to adapt the lighting to card reading contexts, night operations or reduced visibility needs.
The quality of the lighting offers a homogeneous and targeted distribution , without loss, which allows optimal concentration of the light beam. The color rendering is excellent , without UV or heat emission, to guarantee the visual comfort of the user. The LED lifespan exceeds 50,000 hours , and reaches up to 70,000 hours on certain models.
Embedded orders and advanced functions
ABEILLON offers various control interfaces directly on board the head of the lamps. Depending on the models, users can:
- Light or turn off the lamp by integrated pushing buttons
- Top between several lighting colors (white/red, white/blue, white/green)
- Vary the light intensity , either by " +" and "-" touches, or via an opto-mechanical system by rotating a ring
Some models are also equipped with a black-out mode , which allows you to lock a color or prohibit it, via an external lamp command. This function is particularly useful in military contexts requiring reinforced light discretion.
The LED transmitters are supplied in DC 20 MA for low intensity versions, or 350 mA for more powerful models. The input voltage varies according to the configurations, with standard beaches ranging from 10 to 30 VDC , especially in 12, 24 or 28 VDC .
Robust assembly with semi-rigid flexible
One of the main subsets of the lamp is its semi-rigid metal flexible , which provides both the mechanical support for the lighting head and a freedom of positioning. Made of brass mounted on stainless steel spring , or combining two elements of semi-rigid flexibles implementing material couples to offer very good ease of spatial orientation of the lamp head and very good support capacity in cases of flexible supports of significant length, flexible supports are covered with a - retractable sheath according to several options Auto-exhaustible , in accordance with the UL-224 VW-1 .
The length of the flexible varies according to the product references: 400 mm to around 650 mm , for interior diameters ranging from 5 to 6 mm , and external diameters gained from 12 to 19 mm . A spiral cuff or reinforcement spring is systematically added to the base on the fixing side to guarantee good capacity for support and sustainability.
Certain models such as the 16855 reference are distinguished by a swivel lamp head up to 300 ° , thus offering excellent flexibility of use in confined spaces.

Mounting interfaces adapted to all configurations
The base of the flexible is designed to allow direct mechanical and electric integration on a desk or a reading table. ABEILLON offers several types of interfaces:
- M12 male threaded tip with clamping nut (eg model 16872)
- Rectangular base with M12X150 High Lighting press for vertical mounting and axial passage of the cable (eg model 16857)
- 90 ° rectangular base for a cable passage perpendicular to the axis of the flexible (eg model 16914)
- POM C fixing plate or mechanical insulation ensuring the electrical disconnection of the structure , to limit interference
Certain interfaces are designed to mechanically and electrically isolate the lamp of the metal carrier structure, thus avoiding any transmission of electromagnetic parasites.
Tailor -made solutions for the defense industry
