Larson’s spotlight illuminates areas of low lighting for forklift operators

Larson Electronics LLC has released a new explosion-proof white LED spotlight for forklifts, that produces 2,250 lumens of bright white illumination.

This spotlight can be used as a headlight for forklift drivers to clearly see in low-lighting environments. This fixture is NEMA 3, 4, 4X, 7 and 9 rated, designed to withstand demanding environmental and operational conditions in hazardous locations such as warehouses and delivery bays.

The EXHL-TRN-LE4-FKWL-WHT-1224 from Larson is a Class 1 Division 1 & 2, Class 2 Division 1 & 2, and Class 3 Division 1 &2, explosion-proof LED spotlight for illuminating forklift pathways during operation in low lighting. This LED spotlight contains five 5-watt LED bulbs that produce a total of 2,250 lumens of white light, while only drawing 25 watts.

The spotlight beam has a 5º spread, providing operators with a high-intensity center beam visible during both day and night operations. This light acts as both forward area illumination and a visual path indicator of the forklift for pedestrian safety.

This spotlight is NEMA Type 3, 4, 4X, 7 (B,C,D) and 9 (E,F,G) rated for use in harsh conditions. It operates within temperatures of –40° to 60° C; is waterproof to 3 meters; and resistant to dust, dirt and humidity buildup. The housing is constructed of copper-free aluminum, and the LED is sealed behind a borosilicate glass lens. This forklift spotlight operates on universal 9- to 60-volt DC, including common 12-, 24- and 48-volt DC. The unit is mounted with an adjustable surface-mount bracket with adjustable tilt and rotation. Wiring is completed with terminal strips located inside the fixture.

“This LED spotlight provides forklift operators with a high-powered spot beam great for many lighting options,” said Rob Bresnahan, CEO of Larson. “It can be used for headlights, reverse illumination for backing up, and for pedestrian safety.”
