Made in Texas

The EPL-16BS-1X150LED-100 Explosion Proof LED Light from Larson Electronics is rated Class I Division 1-2 Groups C & D and Class
II Division 1-2 and uses a 16 inch LED light head to produce 13,000 lumens of light while drawing only 150 watts.

The EPL-16BS-1X150LED-100 explosion proof LED light provides 10,000 square feet of work area coverage with 13,000 lumens of light output.
This portable LED light is mounted to a four leg aluminum base and has an LED light head measuring 16 inches wide by 14 inches tall. The LED
light head on this unit produces a brilliant flood pattern of light that is ideal for illuminating enclosed areas and hazardous locations where
flammable vapors, gases and dusts may be present. Often referred to as simply a “tank light,” this unit is considered universal due to its ability to
be passed through any conventional manhole such as those found in petrochemical containers and ship storage tanks.

The LED light head is offered in a 60° narrow flood for greater distance and a 125° wide flood that produces a brilliant flood pattern of light that
is ideal for illuminating enclosed areas and further adds to this units desirability as a portable tank lighting solution. This explosion proof LED
light fixture is comprised of a 16 inch LED light head mounted atop a base stand fabricated from non sparking aluminum. Transferring the unit
through manholes consists of simply removing the light head from the base, passing the light head and base through the manhole separately,
and then reassembling the unit once inside. The lamp can be easily adjusted up or down 90 degrees and locked into position by simply
loosening the two hand screws located on either side of the light head and retightening them once the desired angle is found. Included with this
LED light cart is 100 feet of SOOW cord, which combined with the 360° of rotation and 90° of tilt offered by the LED light head provides an
effective alternative to often cumbersome explosion proof string lights.
The explosion proof LED light head in this unit features multiple LED drivers which helps to increase the operational life of the fixture. With
traditional LED lights, in the event an LED array or driver fails, the entire fixture no longer illuminates. This new series of LED lamps contains
twelve individual LED boards configured in a series of banks. Each bank contains two LED boards with an individual driver. In the event of a
driver failure, only one bank of LEDs will be effected while the other banks will continue to operate. In the event that of an LED failure, the
mating LED will continue to operate.
Unlike gas burning and arc type lamps that have glass bulbs, LEDs have no filaments or fragile housings to break during operation. Instead of
heating a small filament or using a combination of gases to produce light, light emitting diodes (LEDs) use semi-conductive materials that
illuminate when electric current applied and emitting light. With LED lights, there is no warm up time or cool down time before re-striking and
provide instant illumination when powered on, adding to the reliability of LED technology. By nature, LED light sources run significantly cooler
than traditional lamps, reducing the chance of accidental burns and increased temperatures due to heat emissions. This solid state design of
light emitting diodes provides a more reliable, stable, durable, and energy efficient light source over traditional lighting.
Safety within the workplace is another benefit of LED work lights and temporary lighting. All light sources produce heat. With traditional work
lamps, such as incandescent and halogen light sources, the lamp reaches high surface temperatures. These surface temperatures introduce a
burn risk to anyone to anyone that allows prolonged skin contact with the light source, as well as a fire hazard if a flammable material is
accidentally set too close to the light source for an extended period of time. While LED fixtures do still produce heat, they are designed with heat
sinks to properly disperse the heat. Each LED bulb is engineered to disperse and expel this heat quickly and efficiently, keeping the lamp cooler
than traditional light sources. This explosion proof LED work light operates at a lower surface temperature than a comparable model with
traditional light source, and thus does not present a significant burn risk if an operator or bystander accidentally brushed up against an exposed
lamp, and reduce the fire hazard should they fixture accidentally come in contact with a flammable material for a short period of time. This
significantly increases the safety within the work environment.
