Larson Electronics has announced the release of a new explosion proof LED drop light designed to provide cooler operation and higher performance than standard incandescent drop lights. It is approved for Class 1 Division 1 & 2 locations, produces brighter and whiter light output than a 100 watt incandescent light, and runs cool to the touch.
The EHL-LED-7W-150-EPP explosion proof LED drop light provides performance and durability incandescent drop lights can’t match, and eliminates the danger of accidental burns and broken bulbs commonly encountered with drop lights. This handheld LED drop light features aluminum and steel construction, a molded rubber bumper guard, a 10 watt LED bulb, 150’ of SOOW cord, and an explosion proof cord cap. Unlike the yellowish illumination produced by incandescent bulbs, the output from this lamp is a very clean white, giving it better detail rendering, contrasting, and color reproducing qualities which is very important when performing close work and detail oriented tasks. The LED bulb produces 1,050 lumens and has a 50,000 hour life rating, 50 times the hour life of a typical incandescent bulb. This LED lamp won’t shatter or break if dropped, and the LED design means that even after hours of operation, the lamp will only be slightly warm to the touch, virtually eliminating the chances of accidental burns. The rugged lamp housing features a tough aluminum lamp cage for added durability, and is lightweight for easy handling while working. An integral aluminum hook provides easy hanging for hands-free operation.
“While incandescent hand lamps can generate enough heat to burn operators that bump into the light, the LED explosion proof hand lamps generally don’t get above the ambient temperature of the area,” said Rob Bresnahan with Larsonelectronics.com. “The solid state electronics make the LED light vibration resistant and the 50,000 hour life rating enable operators to avoid re-lamping for more than 5 years.”
