Work Through the Night with Confidence: Martin's Fendt 720 LED Upgrade
Work Through the Night with Confidence: Martin's Fendt 720 LED Upgrade
Customer: Martin Jones Plant & Tree Care
Machine: Fendt 720 Tractor
Lighting: UTV Products LED Work Lights & Trinity Work Range
When your working day doesn't end at sunset, reliable lighting is essential. For Martin Jones of Martin Jones Plant & Tree Care, having the right lighting on his Fendt 720 means he can continue working safely and efficiently, even in the darkest conditions.
Having already experienced the difference UTV Products LEDs can make, Martin chose to upgrade his new tractor from day one. More recently, he's taken his lighting setup a step further with the addition of our Trinity Work Range LEDs, combining high-performance work lighting with integrated daytime running lights (DRLs) and strobes.
The Challenge: When Factory LEDs Aren't Enough
Working in tree care and grounds maintenance often means long hours, unpredictable conditions and working against the clock.
Whether hedge cutting, maintaining grounds or carrying out tree care work, Martin needs lighting that provides excellent visibility across his working area.
Although his Fendt 720 came equipped with factory-fitted LEDs, Martin knew from experience that they wouldn't provide the level of performance he needed.
For Martin, lighting isn't just about brightness. It's about having the right spread of light to see clearly, work efficiently and maintain visibility when operating machinery in low-light conditions.
The Solution: UTV Products from Day One
When Martin purchased his new Fendt 720 in November 2024, he knew exactly what he wanted.
Rather than keeping the factory-fitted LEDs, he requested that the dealership replace them with UTV Products lighting during the tractor's Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI).
Martin explains:
"I've used Fendt's factory LEDs before, but after switching to UTV Products, the difference was night and day. With UTV lights, hedge cutting is far easier in low light, and I can work safely and quickly through the night. For my new tractor, I didn't want to settle—I wanted UTV Products from day one."
Despite the tractor already having factory LED lighting, Martin recognised the benefits of upgrading to lighting designed specifically for demanding working environments.
Taking It Further: Upgrading to the Trinity Work Range
Martin hasn't stopped at his original lighting upgrade. He's since added UTV Products' Trinity Work Range LEDs to his machine, taking his lighting setup to another level.
The Trinity Work Range combines powerful LED work lighting with integrated DRL and strobe functionality, offering more than just illumination.
With up to 9,600 actual lumens available across the range, the Trinity LEDs deliver high-output lighting designed for demanding applications.
The range offers several key benefits:
- High-performance work lighting: Powerful illumination to help operators see clearly during early starts and late finishes.
- Integrated DRLs: Additional visibility during daylight working hours.
- Built-in strobe functionality: An additional warning-light function when required.
- Versatile mounting: Flexible positioning to suit different machines and applications.
- OEM-inspired appearance: A professional finish that complements the machine.
For someone like Martin, who regularly works around machinery and in challenging environments, having lighting that combines performance with additional visibility features makes the Trinity Work Range a valuable addition.
The Results: A Difference You Can See
Martin's decision to replace the factory-fitted LEDs initially surprised the dealership's fitters, who believed the original lights would be sufficient. However, once the UTV Products LEDs were installed, the improvement in brightness and clarity was clear.
With his latest Trinity upgrade, Martin continues to invest in lighting that supports the demands of his work. His Fendt 720 is now equipped with a lighting setup designed not only to illuminate the working area but also to provide additional visibility through integrated DRL and strobe functions.
How Do UTV Products LEDs Compare?
Here's a look at the performance of some of the UTV Products work lights compared with the original Fendt/Hella factory-fitted LEDs.
UTV3022-1 LEDs – £99.50 ex VAT
7200 actual lumens
1 lux @ 125m
Fendt/Hella factory-fitted LEDs – £200 ex VAT (approx.)
4400 lumens
1.2 lux @ 50m
Figures are based on the product specifications used in the original comparison. Light output and beam distribution vary between products.
What Is Lux, and Why Does It Matter?
When comparing LED lights, it's easy to focus on watts and lumens. However, these figures don't tell the whole story. Lux measures how much light reaches a specific area, helping to demonstrate how effectively a light illuminates a target at a given distance.
Jack, Head of Engineering at UTV Products, explains:
"Lux measures the brightness of light at a specific point. It's the SI unit of illuminance, equal to one lumen per square metre. In simple terms, it shows how effectively the light illuminates a target area at a distance."
That's why choosing the right beam pattern and light positioning is just as important as choosing a powerful LED.
Why Upgrade Your Tractor's LEDs During PDI?
Martin's story highlights an important opportunity for anyone purchasing a new tractor. Just because a machine comes with factory-fitted LEDs doesn't mean you have to settle for them.
By requesting UTV Products LEDs during PDI, you can enjoy high-performance lighting from the moment your new machine arrives. Better still, UTV Products offers to match the manufacturer's standard machine warranty for qualifying lights fitted during PDI, excluding extended warranties.
It's a straightforward way to upgrade your machine's lighting without compromising its original appearance.
Upgrade Your Machine with UTV Products
From his original Fendt 720 lighting upgrade to the latest addition of the Trinity Work Range, Martin's experience demonstrates why choosing the right LEDs makes a difference.
Whether you're working late into the evening, tackling seasonal hedge cutting or simply looking to improve visibility around your machine, UTV Products has a range of lighting solutions to suit your needs.
We make LEDs for hard-working people who don't want to compromise.
