Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com announced an upgrade toLED Lamp the HAL-48-2L-LED hazardous location LED light. The HAL-48-2L-LED features LED ‘tube’ LED Bulbs bulbs that deliver more light than same light fixture configured with two 60 watt T5HO bulbs. The LED T-series light bulbs have the same form factor as standard fluorescent bulbs, with the LED Flexilble Stripe light same pin configuration. The LED bulbs for the hazardous location fixture do differ in several ways. The LED tube style bulbs secure 24 watts of high powered LED potted into a aluminum housing and covered with an integrated polycarbonate cover. Solid state technology is much more resistant to vibration and extremes in temperature, making it ideal for demanding industrial and oil field environments. The HAL-48-2L-LED with a combined 48 watts of power draws less current than standard T5 fixtures and carries a UL 844 Class 1 Division 2 rating for Groups A, B, C and D. The HAL-48-2L-LED also carries a UL rating for wet area and saltwater area use.

“The HAL-48-2L-LED Class 1 Division 2 light is made in the USA and the bulbs themselves are Buy American Compliant,” said Rob Bresnahan with Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com. We are leveraging a 10 year relationship with a factory in South Korea to produce the LED bulbs. We manufacture the entire light fixture here in Texas. We make and sell a lot of LED lights for general area use and we have a growing line of explosion proof lights and hazardous location lighting. Merging these capabilities enables us to produce a very robust LED light fixture for hazardous location areas. Plus, we control the specifications, ensuring that our LED bulbs run at the same or lower temperatures than the standard fluorescent bulbs we typically use.
