Larson Electronics LLC has announced an explosion proof string light, that can be daisy chained for flexible illumination options, and is Class 1, Division 1 and 2, and Class 2 Division 1 and 2 approved. This LED string is ideal for inspection activities and temporary illumination in hazardous locations requiring explosion proof protection.
The EPL-SL-10-50X-150LED-RT-IBC-HD 1500 watt LED string light set is suitable for use in areas where petrochemical vapors and hazardous dust are present. This fixture can be daisy chained together, meaning multiple units can be connected and powered by a single source, allowing operators to manage a configuration that works best for their job site and move it around as needed. With cast aluminum housing, tempered glass lens and abrasion resistant cord, this unit is durable and resistant to chemicals, abrasion, vibrations and impact. Each LED light fixture has a CNC waterjet cut 1/8-inch aluminum frame that helps protect the fixture from accidental damage. This explosion proof string light is lightweight and has a low profile making it an alternative to larger traditional fixtures.
This string light contains ten 150-watt LED work lights that have I-beam mount clamps, and are connected along 450 feet of 10/3 SOOW cable, 50 feet in-between each LED. Producing 17,500 lumens of high quality light, while only drawing 150 watts, this explosion proof string light is an energy efficient option for any general work area, and a direct replacement for 400-watt temporary metal halide fixtures. A specially crafted heat dissipating design and LED technology helps this explosion proof string light achieve a 60,000 hour rated lifespan with an 80 percent lumen retention.
