1. What are the electrical specifications of the 12V Explosion Proof Extension Handlamp?

The handlamp operates at 12V DC, providing a low-voltage solution for hazardous environments. The power draw is optimized to ensure safe and efficient operation in explosion-prone settings.

2. What safety certifications does this handlamp meet?

The handlamp is certified for Class 1, Division 1 hazardous locations per NEC standards. It complies with OSHA regulations and international ATEX/IECEx standards for intrinsically safe equipment.

3. What makes this handlamp intrinsically safe?

Intrinsic safety is achieved through its sealed design, which prevents spark generation or thermal ignition. Components are carefully rated to ensure electrical and thermal energy remain below ignition thresholds for flammable substances.

4. What type of light source is used, and what are its technical specifications?

The handlamp is available with explosion-proof LED or incandescent bulbs. The LED version provides high lumen output with minimal power consumption (typically 1200-1500 lumens), a color temperature of 5000K, and a lifespan exceeding 50,000 hours.

5. What is the construction material and its resistance properties?

The housing is made from impact-resistant thermoplastic or aluminum alloy, designed to withstand high-impact forces, corrosion, and exposure to industrial chemicals. The lens is constructed from shatterproof, tempered glass or polycarbonate.

6. How long is the extension cord, and what is its rating?

The extension cord is typically 50 feet or longer and is constructed with SOOW or SEOOW cable. These cables are rated for oil resistance, water resistance, and flexibility in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 90°C.

7. Can the handlamp operate in extreme environmental conditions?

Yes, it is designed to operate in temperatures from -20°C to +60°C. The IP66-rated enclosure protects against dust ingress and powerful water jets, making it suitable for outdoor and industrial use.

8. What mounting options are available for this handlamp?

The hand lamp includes a heavy-duty stainless steel hook for hanging. Optional mounting accessories, such as magnetic bases or tripod adaptors, can be used for additional stability in specific applications.

9. How does this handlamp compare to standard explosion-proof lighting?

Compared to stationary explosion-proof lights, the 12V handlamp offers portability and flexibility for maintenance and inspection tasks. Its compact design and lightweight construction allow it to be easily maneuvered into confined spaces.

10. What maintenance procedures are required for this handlamp?

Maintenance involves periodic visual inspections for damage to the cord, housing, and bulb. Any cracked or worn components should be replaced immediately. Proper storage in a clean, dry environment extends its operational life.
