1. What is the Rough Ready™ 60W portable explosion‑proof magnet light?
It’s a compact, mobile LED work light built for hazardous industrial environments. Certified for multiple hazardous-location classifications, it provides reliable illumination using energy‑efficient LEDs. A 450‑lb magnetic base allows hands‑free mounting to steel surfaces for easy positioning.
2. What hazardous‑location certifications does it carry?
The light meets strict NEC/CEC standards, including Class I Division 1 and Division 2, Class II Division 1 and Division 2, and Class III environments. It also holds wet-location and marine-use certifications, ensuring safe operation in a wide range of hazardous settings.
3. How bright is the 60W Rough Ready light?
This fixture produces about 9,600 lumens of output with a luminous efficacy around 160 lumens per watt. Its wide 110° beam angle and neutral 5000 K color temperature provide broad, daylight‑like illumination.
4. How portable is it compared with larger models?
Engineered to be lightweight and low profile, the 60W Rough Ready weighs roughly 14 pounds and has a compact form factor suited for confined spaces and frequent repositioning. It’s more mobile than higher‑wattage models like the 100 W version.
5. What mounting options are available?
Besides the standard 450‑lb magnet for attachment to ferrous surfaces, the light can be mounted on a quadpod stand, ladder bracket, or cart. These options provide flexibility on both metal and non‑metal surfaces.
6. Why is the unit considered explosion‑proof?
The fixture features a sealed, copper‑free aluminum housing and an impact‑resistant lens. Explosion‑proof construction ensures that any internal sparks or arcs remain contained, preventing ignition of surrounding gases, vapors, or dusts.
7. What materials are used in its construction?
It’s built with industrial, marine‑rated copper‑free aluminum and fitted with a tough glass lens. Heavy‑duty cabling and an explosion‑proof plug complete the robust design, delivering durability in harsh environments.
8. What environmental conditions can it handle?
The light can operate in temperatures from –40 °C to +65 °C and humidity levels from 10 % to 90 % RH. Ratings for wet locations and marine environments mean it’s suited for outdoor, damp, or salt‑spray conditions.
9. How does the magnet light support confined‑space operations?
Its slim profile and low weight make it ideal for tight areas. The strong magnet provides hands‑free positioning inside tanks, vessels, and pits, while a range of cord lengths lets workers place the light deep into confined spaces.
10. What is the LED lifespan and warranty?
The LED modules are rated for an L70 life exceeding 150,000 hours (at 60 °C ambient), meaning many years of service before noticeable dimming. The light also comes with a three‑year limited warranty.
11. Where is this light typically used?
Typical applications include sandblasting, tank and vessel cleaning, confined‑space entry, industrial maintenance, and temporary lighting for turnaround operations. Its magnet/quadpod versatility makes it suitable across oil‑and‑gas, petrochemical, marine, and construction sites.
12. What power and voltage does it use?
The light is rated at 60 watts and accepts a wide input range of 100–277 V AC or 347–480 V AC. A standard explosion‑proof plug is supplied, and other plug types can be requested.
13. Does it offer surge protection or other options?
Yes, surge protection is listed as an available option. Accessories such as cart mounts and ladder brackets can also be added to tailor the light to specific jobsite needs.
14. How does the magnet compare with the quadpod stand?
The 450‑lb magnet enables quick attachment to steel surfaces for close‑up, hands‑free work. The quadpod stand provides stable elevation on non‑metal surfaces, making it suitable for broader area lighting when metal mounting isn’t possible.
15. How do beam angle and color temperature affect visibility?
A 110° beam angle spreads light widely, reducing shadows in confined spaces. The 5000 K color temperature produces a neutral, daylight‑like light that improves visibility without inducing glare or distorting colors.
16. How does the 60W model compare to the 100W version?
The 60W unit is lighter and more portable, offering ease of handling and repositioning. While the 100W version produces more light output, the 60W fixture is better suited for confined spaces and applications requiring frequent movement.
17. What cord lengths are available?
Buyers can select from cords of 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, or 200 feet. Choosing the right length ensures adequate reach without excessive slack that could create tripping hazards.
18. How does the light improve energy efficiency?
With high luminous efficacy (around 160 lumens per watt), the LED system delivers strong illumination while consuming less power than traditional HID or incandescent fixtures. This efficiency lowers energy usage and reduces heat generation.
19. Is the unit suitable for wet or marine environments?
Yes. Certifications for wet locations and marine outside use indicate the light can be safely deployed in damp, wash‑down, or saltwater conditions. Its glass lens and sealed construction protect against moisture ingress.
20. Why choose Rough Ready™ for portable explosion‑proof lighting?
Rough Ready™ lights are engineered for durability and safety, using quality materials and explosion‑proof components. WorkSite Lighting’s experience in hazardous‑location equipment ensures each unit meets strict standards and delivers reliable performance in demanding environments.
