The compact LED flashlight (EXP-LED-401-MSHA) features an MSHA rating for mining activities and has been designed as a compact, portable lighting solution for hazardous environments.
The flashlight is MSHA rated (tested for intrinsic safety in environments with methane-air mixtures only) and supports three beam settings: high, low and flash. In low beam mode, the unit emits 62 lumens of white light that reaches 272' with a runtime of 13 hours. In high beam mode, the flashlight emits 157 lumens of white light and reaches 383' with a runtime of 6.15 hours. Operators may use a fastener to lock the switch to ensure that the flashlight remains off in hazardous locations. Also included are several safety features. An air-free heat sink design helps to improve heat dissipation during operation, while also reducing the possibility of malfunction from overheating. A valve design prevents the buildup of hydrogen gas. This intrinsically safe unit is ATEX/IECEx approved and IP68 waterproof with a T4 temperature code.
According to the manufacturer, applications for this LED light include, but are not limited to: mining operations, hazardous locations, chemical processing plants, oil and gas, construction, fire fighting, task lighting, emergency lighting and more.
