TYRI understands the unique challenges of forestry work. Whether you’re operating a harvester, forwarder, timber truck, or wheeled excavator deep in the forest, visibility is critical for safety, accuracy, and productivity. Our LED lighting solutions are engineered to provide the right light exactly where it’s needed, integrating seamlessly into OEM machinery.
With TYRI’s advanced LED technologies, our solutions reduce eye strain, enhance depth perception, and ensure maximum operator comfort and efficiency.
TYRI Lighting in Forestry
Hi-CRI ‘Daylight’ Illumination
The 1010 Hi-CRI delivers high colour-rendering LED light, allowing operators to see materials, obstacles, and terrain with exceptional clarity. In forestry applications, this improves safety, reduces fatigue, and enhances productivity by providing natural ‘daylight’ illumination in even the densest woodland or low-light conditions.
Sustainable Lighting for Forestry
The TYRI 1010 ECO PWR is a durable, energy-efficient LED work light engineered for the forestry sector. Featuring ECO PWR technology, it reduces power consumption by at least 36%, lowers CO₂ emissions, and eases the load on vehicle electrics, all while delivering consistent, high-quality illumination for demanding forestry operations.
INTELLilight® Lighting System for Forestry
TYRI’s INTELLilight® lighting system gives forestry machine operators full control over colour temperature and brightness, adapting to any working environment. It enhances visibility, reduces eye strain, and ensures safe, efficient operation in challenging conditions such as snow, dust, fog, or low-light dense forests.
Tracked Vehicles & Mulchers
Forestry tracked vehicles with mulchers are built for the toughest tasks, including land clearing and vegetation management. TYRI LED work lights provide uniform, high-performance illumination around the entire machine, ensuring the operator has a clear, safe view of the work area. Designed for durability, the 1010 XP-9 withstands vibration, debris, and harsh environmental conditions while maintaining consistent performance.
High-Performance LED Work Lighting
The TYRI 0717 delivers high-performance LED work lighting developed in collaboration with Massey Ferguson for their 8 Series tractors. Designed to meet stringent OEM standards, it features precision automotive-style optics and provides up to 2,150 effective lumens. With 360° swivel and 60° vertical adjustment, the 0717 offers flexible mounting options, ensuring powerful, well-directed illumination for Harvesters and other forestry machines.
Forestry Thinning Applications
Vimek, a specialist in light forestry thinning machines, equips their harvesters, forwarders, and combi-machines with TYRI 0909 LED work lights. Engineered for uniform illumination across the work area, these work lights enhance operator visibility and precision, while their certification for use as reverse lights adds extra versatility. The highest EMC class ensures zero interference with onboard electronics.
Lighting Challenges in Forestry
Forestry work pushes machines and operators to their limits, often in harsh and unpredictable environments. That’s why effective forestry LED work lights must do more than just shine, they must overcome the unique conditions of working deep in the forest. OEMs face a range of challenges when specifying work lights:
- Uneven Terrain & Obstructions: Trees, stumps, and undergrowth create shadows and blind spots.
- Low Natural Light: Dense canopies can cause low, dappled light, reducing visibility.
- Vibration & Shock: Harvesters, forwarders, and tracked vehicles generate intense vibrations.
- Long Operational Hours: Machines run from early morning to late at night, requiring reliable lights.
- Weather Extremes: Snow, rain, fog, and dust can compromise visibility and operator comfort.
- Electrical Load Management: With multiple power-hungry systems onboard, forestry machines demand energy-efficient LED work lights that reduce alternator and battery strain.
TYRI lights are designed to address these challenges while optimising operator visibility, safety, and productivity.

TYRI Testing and Approvals for Forestry
Vibration testing
Forestry machinery operates under intense, continuous vibration from cutting, mulching, and heavy hydraulic movements. TYRI work lights are tested for up to 8 hours on all axes at 10 Grms across 5–2000 Hz, replicating the demanding conditions forestry machines face daily.
Shock testing
Forestry terrain is unforgiving — with constant jolts from stumps, logs, and rocky ground. TYRI work lights are shock tested to withstand forces up to 50G, ensuring dependable operation after repeated impacts.
IP 69K
Rain, mud, sap, and constant high-pressure cleaning demand maximum protection. TYRI’s IP69K-rated housings prevent water, dust, and debris ingress, ensuring long-term durability in woodland conditions.
Environmental testing
Forestry work takes place in every climate and season. TYRI work lights are tested from −40 °C to +85 °C with up to 90 % humidity for over 50 days, ensuring reliable performance through freezing mornings, hot afternoons, and damp storage.
EMC EN55025 / CISPR 25
Forestry machines rely on cameras, GPS guidance, and automated control systems. TYRI work lights are tested to the highest EMC standards to ensure zero interference with these sensitive electronics.
Salt spray testing
Forestry vehicles used in winter road maintenance or near coastal regions are exposed to corrosive materials. TYRI work lights undergo ASTM B117 salt spray testing to guarantee corrosion resistance and long-term durability.
Polarity / Overheating / Overvoltage Protection
Forestry operators can’t afford downtime. TYRI work lights feature built-in temperature sensors to prevent overheating from blocked cooling fins, reverse polarity protection to guard against incorrect installation, and overvoltage protection to safeguard LEDs, ensuring long service life and reliable performance.
