Evening Spraying and the Benefits of our LED Nozzle Lighting

More and more farmers are opting for spraying in the evening or at night. Have you ever seen a tractor with a sprayer giving off a blue glow at night? CRAWER has designed a work light specifically for night spraying. This LED light specifically designed for spraying features a compact beam of blue light with a narrow angle of just 1 degree! Thanks to the blue light emitted by this light, the driver can clearly see if all nozzles are working properly and without any issues. This ensures the correct spray pattern and that the right amount hits the targeted area.

Why Work in the Evenings?

Spraying your fields in the evening has several benefits:

  • Less Wind: Reduced wind means less drift of your spray, ensuring the chemicals hit where they’re needed.

  • Higher Humidity: The air holds more moisture, which can improve the effectiveness of the spray.

  • Pest Activity: Some pests, like caterpillars, are more active at night, so evening spraying can help target them better.

  • No Evaporation: Without the harsh midday sun, there’s minimal evaporation of your spray, meaning more of it reaches the crops.

  • Lower Leaf Temperature: Cooler leaves absorb the protective chemicals more effectively.

  • Avoiding Breakdown: High daytime temperatures can speed up the breakdown of these products.

  • Dew Advantage: A light dew not only boosts the effectiveness of the treatments but may also allow you to use less water.

  • Insect Safety: Spraying in the evening reduces the risk of harming beneficial insects like bees and bumblebees.

LED Nozzle Lighting: Technical Highlights

Our 40W LED light is engineered to evenly and effectively illuminate your spray boom. Here’s what it offers:

  • Efficient Coverage: These spotlights can light a boom up to 50 metres long. For booms longer than 50 metres, we recommend adding extra spotlights on either side.

  • Robust Build: The light is built to CISPR 4 standards for electromagnetic interference suppression and is equipped with a Deutsch DT 2-pin connector.

  • Superior Waterproofing: A standout feature of this light is its exceptional waterproof rating — IP67 — perfect for use in nozzle areas where water exposure is frequent.
