Larson Electronics Company Profile

Portable, explosion-proof location lighting for hazardous areas

Portable, explosion-proof location lighting for hazardous areas

Explosion-proof portable LED light fixtures, light towers and carts are offered for use in hazardous locations where flammable vapors, gases or dusts may be present.

These hazardous area lights can also illuminate enclosed areas including tanks, containers and other limited access work sites.

The products are ideal for applications including commercial manufacturing, outdoor work sites, and other locations where portable hazardous location lighting is required, and it can be custom built to meet unique specifications.


Company Description:

The EPLC2-PT-100LED-RT from Larson Electronics is a Pole Top Slip Fitter LED Light Fixture that provides operators with a powerful and energy efficient alternative to traditional hazardous location luminaries. Cree LED technology and compact design makes this lamp an excellent replacement upgrade option for bulky and high maintenance cost older fixtures.

This Class I Division 2, Class II Divisions 1 & 2 pole top slip fit mount explosion proof light fixture provides 11,667 lumens of high quality light while drawing only 100 watts. The copper free aluminum alloy body is powder coated for added durability and an attractive aesthetic appearance. Special heat dissipating design in conjunction with LED technology helps this fixture to achieve an excellent 60,000 hour rated lifespan with 80% lumen retention. Light weight and a low profile make this unit an attractive alternative to larger and heavier older fixtures and requires less hardware to install.

The EPLC2-PT-100LED-RT pole top slip fit mount explosion proof light features an adjustable swivel bracket constructed of 3/8” aluminum that allows 270° of adjustment and is attached to a slip fit yoke for easy installation. The slip fit yoke is built to customer`s specs, enabling operators to mount this explosion proof LED light to their specific pole size. The wiring of the EPLC2-PT-100LED-RT is terminated in a junction box with 3/4” threaded hub. Operators can run rigid pipe or flexible conduit to the junction box, terminating the electrical connections within.

The explosion proof LED light fixture features multiple LED drivers which helps to increase the operational life of the fixture. With traditional LED lights, in the event an LED array or driver fails, the entire fixture no longer illuminates. This new series of LED lamps contains twelve individual LED boards configured in a series of banks. Each bank contains two LED boards with an individual driver. In the event of a driver failure, only one bank of LEDs will be effected while the other banks will continue to operate. In the event that of an LED failure, the mating LED will continue to operate.

LED Benefits: Unlike gas burning and arc type lamps that have glass bulbs, LEDs have no filaments or fragile housings to break during operation and/or transportation. Instead of heating a small filament or using a combination of gases to produce light, light emitting diodes (LEDs) use semi-conductive materials that illuminate when electric current is applied, providing instant illumination with no warm up or cool down time before re-striking. Because there is no warm up period, this light can be cycled on and off with no reduction in lamp life.

LED lights run at significantly cooler temperatures than traditional metal halide and high pressure sodium lights and contain no harmful gases, vapors, or mercury, making them both safer and more energy efficient. No extra energy is wasted in cooling enclosed work areas due to external heat emissions from bulb type lights, and the operator risks associated with traditional lighting methods, such as accidental burns and exposure to hazardous substances contained in the glass bulbs, are eliminated. In addition, LEDs are also safer for the environment as they are 100% recyclable, which eliminates the need for costly special disposal services required with traditional gas burning and arc type lamps.

The aluminum body and LED lamp give this light excellent durability and resistance to vibration and impacts. The housing is specially designed to dissipate heat which increases the efficiency and lifespan of the LED luminaries. The LED lamp produces 11,667 lumens with a color temperature of 5000K, 4500K, or 3000K and a color rendering index of 70 which produces colors and details much more accurately than high pressure sodium or mercury vapor luminaries. The lamp is T5 temperature rated, Design Lights Consortium approved, and the LED light head retains 80% of its lumen output after 60,000 hours of use, far longer than incandescent or fluorescent lamps.

The EPLC2-PT-100LED-RT yoke mount explosion proof LED flood light is universal voltage capable and can be operated with 100-277 VAC, 50/60Hz. We also offer a low voltage version of this LED fixture that operates on AC/DC voltages from 11-25 Volts. This explosion proof LED light fixture is IP67 rated, dust-proof, and protected against high pressure jets and temporary submersion. The cast aluminum body and LED lamp give this light excellent durability and resistance to vibration and impacts. The housing is specially designed to dissipate heat which increases the efficiency and lifespan of the LEDs and electronics.

The entire assembly is ETL listed Class I Division 2 and Class II Divisions 1 & 2 for use in hazardous locations and approved for paint spray booths. The extreme durability, universal voltage capabilities, and LED longevity make this LED flood lighting system an ideal fit for frac pads, rigs, offshore, and any application that requires a Class I Division 1 pole top light fixture.

Mounting Notes: The EPLC2-PT-100LED-RT pole top slip fit mount explosion proof light features an adjustable swivel bracket constructed of 3/8” aluminum that allows over 270° of adjustment and is attached to a slip fit yoke for easy installation. The slip fit yoke is built to customer`s specs, enabling operators to mount this explosion proof LED light to their specific pole size. For example, selecting a 2” OD mount means that the yoke mount will fit onto pipes or bull horns with a 2” OD.
