Magnalight.com Announces Addition of Rechargeable and Portable Hazardous Area Light
The RUL-9 portable hazardous area light from Larson Electronics' Magnalight.com provides high power, durable operation, rechargeable capability, and 5 hours of powerful illumination in a Class 1 Division 2 approved hazardous location rated package. This portable hazardous location light is designed to provide a strong light beam and long run times on a single charge of its lithium-ion batteries. Equipped with an integral carry handle, rear mounted LEDs and articulating head, this portable light is suited to a wide variety of uses including industrial applications, utility work, military and law enforcement, fire/rescue and emergency services.
Made in the USA and designed to provide a rugged lighting solution for use in demanding hazardous locations, the RUL-9 portable and rechargeable light produces 120,000 candlepower and can operate for 5 hours on a single charge of its lithium-ion batteries. Constructed with a high strength nylon body with rubberized coating, this unit is built to withstand demanding service. This portable and rechargeable light is designed with lithium-ion batteries which give it a run time of 5 hours on a single charge and require no special charging procedures to maintain battery life. It is not necessary to fully discharge the batteries before recharging, the included charger will not overcharge, and the unit can be left sitting for up to 18 months without losing its charge or a decrease in battery service life. The lithium ion battery pack in this portable light also helps this unit achieve a 33% lighter weight than its competitors, an important consideration for firefighters whose basic equipment can already weigh 65-70 lbs. This high power rechargeable light is approved for Class 1 Division 2 hazardous locations, making it ideal for use in industrial and commercial operations where flammable and hazardous atmospheres may be present. The single Xenon bulb and specially designed reflector in this light produces 120,000 candlepower and 1102 Lux at 25 feet, making it comparable in effectiveness to a 24 watt HID Powerlight(TM). The light beam from this portable light can reach over 600 feet in length, making it well suited to utility and emergency services applications as well. This versatile portable light is waterproof and includes a pair of rear mounted red and white LEDs that can act as locator, signal or warning lights as needed. Operation is controlled by a booted, three way push button switch which allows operators to operate the main beam and LEDs independently or in tandem. The light head is adjustable and can be moved through 90 degrees of adjustment for optimal beam placement. An included 120 Volt AC wall charger provides easy recharging and will not overcharge the unit, allowing operators to simply leave the light connected to the charging unit when not in use to ensure a full charge anytime the light is needed. Magnalight also offers a magnetic mounting system which consists of a 5 inch diameter magnetic base with 200 lbs of gripping force, powder coated steel bracket, and spring loaded fastener. This RUL-9-MB magnetic mounting base is easily attached and detached and allows operators to temporarily attach this unit to any metallic surface to provide a hands free source of illumination that can be positioned however they require. This portable hazardous location light meets NFPA 1901-14.1.11.2 compliance and is an ideal addition to any industry professionals' lighting equipment inventory.
"MADE IN THE USA rugged and durable the RUL-9 with a Class 1 Division 2 and Class 2 Division 2 rating has the functionality of an articulating head and lithium ion batteries with smart charging technology," said Rob Bresnahan with Larson Electronics' Magnalight.com. "Operators working in emergency services, utility work and hazardous locations will appreciate the 5 hour run time on a charge and the optional magnetic base RUL-9-MB that increases the maneuverability of this light."
