Compact and powerful work lamp

September 2010 IS & Ex

Bartec has introduced its range of high quality mobile LED work lamps with charging station. The lamps have been designed for the illumination of work spaces in hazardous areas where explosions due to gas or dust are a risk. It is suitable for use in zones 0/20, 1/21 and 2/22.

High performance is achieved at a wide temperature range and the lamp is protected against water jets to IP 66. 30 high efficiency LEDs provide a luminous power of over 600 lux from a distance of 1 metre, allowing operators to work safely and effectively on the site.

Charging adapters for 12-24 VDC and for 200-250 VAC are included, so the lamp can be recharged from vehicles or from a mains supply outside the hazardous area. When charged, the working lamp can be used for up to 6 hours in continuous operation.

An efficient lithium-ion accumulator guarantees the long operating life with a short charging time of 3 hours for fast availability in everyday operation.
