Kemp, Texas, April 30, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Magnalight EPL-MB-161M-100 magnetic mount explosion proof LED light provides operators in hazardous locations with a highly versatile yet powerful LED lighting solution for larger work spaces. The basic pedestal mount design of this explosion proof LED light allows operators to utilize the lamp as a portable work area light that can be placed on any flat surface and plugged in for fast and convenient illumination. Magnalight.com has added increased versatility however through the inclusion of a magnetic mounting bracket that allows users to attach the bracket to any flat metallic surface, then hang the lamp assembly from the bracket, in effect producing a powerful yet temporarily mounted work area light that can be attached to tank or trailer walls, machinery, and similar metal surfaces. The magnetic mounting bracket is fitted with four 200 lbs grip magnets, providing a total of 800 lbs of grip for secure placement of the lamp assembly that won't slip or shift position. The mounting bracket and lamp pedestal frame are constructed from heavy non-sparking aluminum, providing light weight and great durability as well as added protection in hazardous locations. The LED lamp measures 16 inches in diameter and is a 150 watt unit that produces 10,000 lumens of intense light in a wide flood pattern. This explosion proof LED lamp is vertically adjustable and can be positioned by loosening two T handle screws on either side of the fixture, moving the lamp to the desired angle, then retightening the screws. The LED lamp is highly durable and long lived with a 60,000 hour expected lamp operational life. Added value and convenience is provided in the form of 25 included Mylar peel off lens covers that allow operators to simply peel off and replace the covers as the lens becomes clouded with dirt and dust. This explosion proof light is Class 1 Division 1 & 2, Class 2 Division 1 & 2 approved, and includes 100 feet of SOOW cord terminated in a 1523 explosion proof straight blade plug for positive and secure connection to power sources. These explosion proof lights are ideal for industrial areas such as power plants, petroleum refineries, ship yards, mining, and anywhere portable yet powerful explosion proof illumination is needed.
"The EPL-MB-161M-100 makes an operator's work easier with a 150 watt explosion proof LED light that can be freestanding or hooked on to a magnetic mounting bracket." said Rob Bresnahan with Larson Electronics' Magnalight.com. "This light setup gives operators needing temporary explosion proof lighting more options for positioning the light source."
