Low Voltage Portable Explosion Proof LED Light - 9-32VDC or 12 volts AC - Circular Base Stand

Made in the USA

The EPL-BS-70LED-LV-100 Low Voltage Portable Explosion Proof LED Light is U.L. approved Class 1 & 2, Division 1 & 2 and is rated for use in wet and marine environments. The spun aluminum mount and LED lamp used with this unit provide operators with excellent power and efficiency coupled with high versatility and ease of use. This unit operates on a range of voltages from 9 to 32 VDC or 12 volts AC for low voltage applications.

The EPL-BS-70LED-LV-100 explosion proof LED light provides 6,020 lumens of light output in a portable and rugged explosion proof lighting package. The 70 watt LED lamp assembly in this unit produces higher quality illumination with better color rendering and contrasting than typical 400 watt halogen lamps while drawing only 70 watts at 5.84 amps on 12 volts. The LED lamp runs cooler than 400 watt halogen lamps, resulting in an easier and safer to handle unit and less heat in the workspace. The LED lamp in this unit produces a brilliant 40 degree flood pattern of light that is ideal for high vibration environments and general illumination in any confined space area (silo, tank or manhole). The EPL-BS-70LED-LV-100 operates on a range of voltages from 9-32 volts DC or 12 volts AC to provide a low voltage lighting solution for areas where low voltage operation is preferable.

This explosion proof light fixture is comprised of a 70 watt LED light head mounted atop a 12 1/2" dia. circular base fabricated from non sparking spun aluminum and includes a convenient carrying handle mounted to the top of the light head. The aluminum base on this unit has three pre-drilled 0.437" diameter holes to allow the fixture to be permanently mounted to flat surfaces for maximum stability. The lamp can be easily adjusted up or down 90 degrees and locked into position by simply loosening the two hand screws located on either side of the light head and retightening them once the desired angle is found. Included with this unit is 100 feet of SOOW cord.

Durability: This unit incorporates a 70 watt LED lamp assembly containing seven CREE XLamp MC-E® ten watt LEDs producing 860 lumens each, and a copper-free cast aluminum housing with a thermoset powder coat finish. The shell, covers and sealed fittings are also made of copper-free aluminum. The lens is constructed of 3/4" thermal shock and impact resistant tempered glass and the housing contains threaded joints lubricated with non-drying lubricant. The LED lamp assembly has no filament and is thus highly resistant to damage from shocks or impacts, greatly reducing the chances of damage should the lamp be dropped or hit, unlike incandescent lamps which may break or shatter. The lamp is rated at 50,000+ hours of life, providing longer service life than typical halogen lamps.

Heat Management: Heat is the single largest factor in premature LED failure and color shifting. These LED units contain advanced drivers which use pulse width modulation to control heat buildup rather than simple voltage regulators which are typically harsh on sensitive electronics and can contribute to early LED failure. These units automatically sense the temperature of each LED and adjust the energy frequency or “duty cycle” accordingly to maintain heat levels within acceptable ranges. This system in essence flashes current at an extremely fast on and off rate to each LED based upon the LED’s core temperature. This flash rate is too fast to detect with the human eye, but provides precise control of the current flowing to each LED and thus the heat it generates. This allows the LEDs to be driven at up to 100% capacity without overheating or visible loss of light output. The LEDs are always driven at the same voltage but the duty cycle, however, is changed to alter how long the LEDs are actually on or off. The end result is more light with less heat and longer LED life with an average 70% lumen maintenance after 50,000 hours.
