Larson Electronics has announced a LED work light—the EHL-LED-7W-50LV-AC LED Drop Light—designed to provide explosion proof protection combined with the LED lighting technology.

The EHL-LED-7W-50LV-AC LED drop light in demanding conditions offers high output and extreme durability combined with low voltage operation. This drop light features a 7 watt LED lamp that provides 3 times more foot candles at five feet than a 100 watt incandescent lamp. This LED drop light generates less heat than incandescent work lights, has a 50,000 hour rated working life without being broken, and produces a much more white light comparing to the yellowish light produced by incandescent bulbs.

The housing of this light is composed of light-weight aluminum for comfortable handling and has an aluminum globe guard with hanging hook for added durability and easy placement. A rubber bumper can protect the light from impacts. This is a low voltage unit that is designed to run with the 12 or 24 volt AC current commonly used in areas where low voltages are preferred or required. Larson Electronics has fitted this lamp with 50 feet of SOOW cord ending in a straight blade plug to provide simple standard connections and ample length for moving about a work area. This light is approved for Class 1 Division 1 and 2 and Class 2 Division 1 and 2 locations where flammable gases and vapors are present, which make it a good choice for petrochemical operations, water treatment plant use, tank cleaning and inspection, and other similar locations. It can create a safer, lower maintenance environment for our military, industrial and petrochemical operators.
