Leading manufacturer and distributor of industrial lighting Larson Electronics reveals their newly designed Class 1 Division 1 explosion proof LED drop light with an inline step-down transformer.
This drop light is ideal for general close work and inspection activities in hazardous locations requiring explosion proof protection.
The EHL-LED-7W-120XLV-C1D1-100-1523 explosion proof drop light from Larson Electronics comes complete with 100’ cord and an inline transformer that steps down 120-240 volts AC to 12 or 24 volts AC for powering the lamp. The drop light housing is constructed of aluminum with a rubber bumper guard designed to provide an effective lighting solution for operators requiring a versatile source of illumination. The housing is equipped with a swivel hook for hanging and hands free operation. This hazardous location hand lamp is Class 1 Division 1 approved and is equipped with a 10 watt LED bulb that projects 1,050 lumens of light. The EHL-LED-120XLV series requires the step-down transformer to be outside of the hazardous location. By incorporating a Class 1 Division 1 step-down transformer and explosion proof plug, this entire unit is explosion proof and is able to be used within the hazardous location. This hand lamp has a high efficiency LED bulb that requires no ballast, so the operator doesn’t need to drag the ballast housing around.
“While incandescent hand lamps can generate enough heat to burn operators that may bump the light, the LED explosion proof hand lamps generally do not get above the ambient temperature of the area,” said Rob Bresnahan with Larsonelectronics.com. “These hand lamps are equipped with an inline transformer for low voltage operation. The transformer is Class 1 Division 1 rated and allows the operator to use the entire unit within the hazardous location.”
