Larson Electronics has announced the release of a new pedestal mount LED work light configured to work on 24 volts DC or AC. The EPL-PM-150LED-24V-100 LED light can illuminate up to 10,000 square feet of work space and features a convenient pedestal mount base stand for easy handling and operation.

The EPL-PM-150LED-24V-100 explosion proof LED light from Larson Electronics is Class 1 Division 1 & 2 and Class 2 Division 1 & 2 rated. This portable LED light is mounted within an A-frame portable stand constructed from non-sparking aluminum and powder coated for increased durability and corrosion resistance. This LED work light 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.

This explosion proof LED light fixture is comprised of a 16 inch wide by 14 inch tall rectangle light head mounted within a pedestal base stand with a convenient carrying handle built into the top of the stand. The LED lamp produces 12,000 lumens with a color temperature of 6000K and a color rendering index of 70, which produces colors and details much more accurately than high pressure sodium or mercury vapor lamps. The lamp can be easily adjusted up or down 90° and locked into position by simply loosening the two hand screws located on either side of the light head and tightening them once the desired angle is found.

This light head features multiple LED drivers which help increase the operational life of the fixture. This new series of LED lamps contains twelve individual 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 affected while the other banks will continue to operate. In the event of an LED failure, the mating LED will continue to operate. This portable work light is extremely rugged and ideal for use in classified environments where portable Class 1 Division 1 lighting is required.

“This explosion proof work light is the LED alternative to a 400 watt metal halide,” Rob Bresnahan with Larsonelectroncis.com said. “While maintaining the light output of a metal halide, this LED light will not produce as much heat and it also uses less power to operate.”
