LED Blasting Lights
Because blasting operators work within a wide range of unusual and demanding areas, they require specialized equipment to complete tasks safely and efficiently. And that’s why Larson Electronics has an entire LED series specifically tailored to meet the safety and technical challenges posed by confined spaces and the need for high powered yet compact lighting equipment that is waterproof, resists the ingress of dusts and other particles, corrosion resistant, and tough enough to endure the harsh conditions in blasting sites. This hands free lighting line includes explosion proof lamps, magnetic mount single unit floodlights, pedestal mounted work area light units with magnetic feet, scaffold and ladder mounted lamps, gun mounted lights with quick change lenses.
At Larson Electronics, we do more than meet your lighting needs. We also provide replacement, retrofit, and upgrade parts as well as industrial grade power accessories. Our craftsmen can custom build any lighting system and/or accessories to fit the unique demands of your operation. A commitment to honesty, quality, and dependability has made Larson Electronics a leader in the lighting and electronics business since1973. Contact us today at 800-369-6671 or message sales@larsonelectronics.com for more information about our custom options tailored to meet your specific industry needs.

| 08/16/16 | How Much Light is Enough Light
Lighting choices vary, depending on the needs of the applicable location and personal preferences of individuals in the area. A “one size fits all” solution is rarely available when determining the lighting requirements of multiple environments. For example, lighting configurations for an office may differ, compared to a packaging warehouse. Even if the two facilities were the same size, the type of work being carried out in the buildings dictate the properties or characteristics [...] |

Because of the risks associated with flammable gases, dusts, and particles in hazardous work areas, low voltage lighting systems are a natural choice to increase safety in areas where the potential for combustion exists. This becomes especially challenging when lights must be run at long distances with limited power sources. Low voltage systems typically run on 12-24 volts DC, but even within this lower range, a precise balance between distance, wattage load, and correct wire gauge must be [...] |
| 02/16/16 | Lumen vs Foot-Candles – Which Is More Accurate for Measuring Illumination?
When a customer is looking for lights, the most common question posed is “how bright is this light?” As lighting technology improves, the standard measurements of illumination aren’t always the most accurate in calculating a light’s output. Understanding how each rating is determined will help you choose the best fixture for an application. [...] |
| 02/10/16 | Using Ohm’s Law to Calculate Amp Draw
Many years ago, in a High School Physics class, we were introduced to Ohm’s Law. Simply put, Ohm’s Law states “The resistor's current I in amps (A) is equal to the resistor's voltage VR=V in volts (V) divided by the resistance R in ohms (O):” To most, it’s as confusing today, as it was the first time we heard it. By breaking it down, piece by piece, you can use this nifty tool to calculate the amp draw of nearly all electronic equipment, including LED lights. [...] |
| 01/02/14 | The Lesser Known Issues LED Lighting Technology Faces
LEDs are a solid state form of lighting that demonstrates a radical departure from the way we usually produce illumination. As a result, there have been new challenges developers and manufacturers have had to overcome before LEDs could be considered a viable lighting technology. LEDs are solid state in design, and rather than produce light through the process of incandescence, (heating a wire until it glows and radiates light), produce light through a process called electroluminescence. [...] |
| 08/31/13 | LEDs and the Changing Lighting Industry
Rather than turning materials incandescent through heating as is the case with wire filament bulbs and fluorescent lamps, the LED emits light through a process called electroluminescent whereby electrical energy passed through semi-conducting materials causes the materials to emit energy as photons or, light energy. This process is extremely efficient, powerful, and versatile, and the solid state design of the LED means no more glass to break, no filaments to burn out, and no toxic materials use [...] |
| 07/28/13 | Avoiding Issues When Working with Alternative LED Lighting Systems
The very fast development of LED lighting technology and the very high potential they carry has resulted in hundreds of manufacturers and importers of LED based devices such as drivers, chips, and controllers appearing almost overnight, which has made it difficult at best for some professionals to ensure the equipment they are installing is reliable. Quality control and standardization among all these new suppliers is in large part almost non existent, and component compatibility and interchang [...] |
| 06/24/13 | LED Performance and Reliability Standards
Since LEDs first began to gain intense international attention due to their extreme efficiency and ability to operate for tens of thousands of hours without significant performance loss, there have been many efforts made to build some type of cohesive set of standards for solid state lighting with which to make effective comparisons against more traditional lighting. [...] |
| 05/01/13 | LED Lighting and Effectively Managing Heat Production
Unlike traditional incandescent lamps which are designed to produce light by using the electrical resistance of a wire filament to radiate light energy and thus run extremely hot, LEDs on the other hand are quite sensitive to increases in temperature. Like traditional lamps, the lifespan of an LED is measured in hours, however, during the course of operation, the light output of an LED exhibits a gradual decline. [...] |
| 01/28/13 | LED Lights, Lighting of the Future
The newest and most well regarded entrance into the lighting markets has been the LED. LEDs represent an entirely new way of producing illumination that bears very little resemblance to traditional forms of lighting. With LEDs, nothing is burned, there are no gases and no glass, and the energy to light conversion rate is much much higher. The energy to light conversion rate is so much higher in fact, that LEDs now produce on the order of 80% more light per watt than the incandescent bulb. [...] |
