ATEX certified safety light

September 2007 Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration

When the UK's River Don broke its banks in June this year it caused extensive flooding in Sheffield's industrial centre. Hundreds of people were trapped at work, unable to get home and destined to spend an uncomfortable night without power.

Luckily for trapped employees at Scania GB, a truck service and repair centre, help was at hand. According to Ken Pye, Scania's Workshop Controller, the power went off at 4 pm and subsequently even the emergency lighting system failed. Fortunately, staff found some torches on South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue fire appliances that were at Scania for pre-delivery inspection.

"The lightweight LED rechargeable torches from Wolf Safety Lamp Company did a fantastic job for us," said Ken. "Each vehicle was equipped with two torches, enough for everyone who was trapped to have one, and they kept us going until morning."

The R-50 rechargeable LED torch made in Sheffield by Wolf Safety is watertight; ATEX certified to Zone 1, IIC T4, with a brilliant white 80 lumen output, coupled with fully managed Li-Ion battery technology. It has been particularly popular in the UK fire industry and is fast becoming the rechargeable torch of choice. South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue has recently selected the R-50 for use in all new appliances.
