Larson Electronics releases New I-beam Mount Corrosion Resistant Light Fixture
Larson Electronics continues its commitment to providing high grade lighting equipment to specialty markets with the release of a Class 1 Division 2 hazardous location LED light fixture equipped with an aluminum I-beam mounting bracket to allow users to suspend the fixture from beams.
The HALP-48-2L-LED-SIBAB aluminum I-beam mount hazardous area LED light fixture from Larson Electronics is U.S./Canada approved Class 1 Division 2 Groups A, B, C, and D, UL 1598A listed, and is specifically designed to handle the rigors of wet and corrosive marine environments. This four foot long, two lamp fixture is ideal for operators seeking a top quality hazardous location light that will improve light quality and reduce operating costs. The I-beam mount is designed for upward lighting for pits in work stations, as well as downward lighting for pipe racks and under shelving. The fixture is constructed of non-corrosive materials including a polyester housing reinforced with glass fiber, a poured in gasket for reliable sealing and an impact resistant acrylic diffuser. Eight corrosion resistant plastic latches secure the lamp cover to the housing and provide a firm lock against the poured in seal to prevent drips and water intrusion.
The 28 watt LED lamps included with this fixture produces 30% more illumination than standard T8 bulbs while offering lower amp draw and increased reliability. Each lamp produces 3,360 lumens at 120 lumens per watt, for a combined total lumen light output. With LED lights, there is no warm up time or cool down time before re-striking and they provide instant illumination when powered on. The solid state design of light emitting diodes provides a more reliable, stable, and energy efficient light source over traditional fluorescent lighting. This I-beam mount fixture is equipped with two aluminum I-beam clamps and two aluminum adjustable flange brackets. This custom combination allows operators to secure the light fixture to existing I-beams without penetrating them. Once installed the center of the light fixture housing will sit 1’ to 1 ½’ below the I-beam and operators can adjust the fixture 45° each direction, for a total of 90° of adjustability. This fixture is universal voltage, not multi-tap, and operates on any voltage from 120V to 277V without any modifications.
This unique mounting design provides operators the ability to install lights on exiting I-beams and other areas where surface mounting is not applicable,” said Rob Bresnahan with Larsonelectronics.com. “This unit is ideal for oil rigs, offshore applications, petrochemical, manufacturing, chemical storage, and water treatment centers.”
