KEMP, Texas, Dec. 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Industrial lighting leader, Larson Electronics LLC, released 300-watt explosion proof high bay LED fixture with an emergency backup battery that provides users with 35,000 lumens of powerful, energy efficient illumination. This C1D1 rated LED fixture is paint spray booth approved making it an ideal elevated lighting system in flammable work sites, manufacturing plants, marine locations and other hazardous locations, and will run at 150 watts for up to 90 minutes in emergency mode.
The EPL-EMG-HB-2X150LED-RT emergency high bay explosion proof light consists of two lights, which produce 17,500 lumens each while drawing 150 watts. These high bay LED produces colors and details much more accurately than traditional high-pressure sodium or mercury vapor luminaries, with the help of a 5000K color temperature and color rendering index of 75. This light has two beam options: a 60° beam for high bay applications and a 125° beam for low applications. Each angle has a specific mounting height to achieve the greatest coverage and efficiency for each situation.
An emergency battery backup is integrated into this fixture that will continue to operate one lamp, provide 17,500 lumens at 150 watts for up to 90 minutes in the event of a power outage. Once standard power is restored the emergency battery will automatically recharge. A switched leg is located on the unit allowing operators to turn the light on and off without kicking it into emergency mode. Additionally, this fixture features multiple LED drivers, increasing the operational life of the unit. In the even of an LED array or driver failure, only the faulty bank of LEDs will be affected, while the remainder of the LED banks will continue to operate.
This explosion proof pendant mounted LED light is constructed of copper free cast aluminum with an epoxy powder coated finish and is equipped with a hardened borosilicate glass lens for protection. The field serviceable unit is listed for the United States and Canada. Explosion proof ratings include: Class I, Divisions 1 & 2 (Groups B, C, D); Class II, Divisions 1 & 2 (Groups E, F, G) and Class III. The LEDs offer inherent LED resistance to shocks and vibrations. This EPL-EMG-HB-2X150LED-RT is paint spray booth listed, IP67 rated, dust-proof, and protected against high pressure jets and temporary submersion. The housing is also designed to dissipate heat which increases the efficiency and lifespan of the LEDs and electronics.
“This emergency high bay light is a great replacement for bulky, high maintenance traditional fixtures,” said Rob Bresnahan, CEO of Larson Electronics LLC. “The multiple LED modules protect the system from complete failure, and the addition of an emergency backup battery offers operators total failproof lighting.”
