Industrial lighting leader Larson Electronics has announced the release of a high power blasting gun light designed to provide the intense light output needed to cut through the dust and debris produced by blasting operations. The BLG-HID-20REX Explosion Proof LED Blasting Gun Light produces 1200 lumens of intense light output and features rechargeable operation and the ability to withstand the abusive conditions associated with blasting operations.
The BLG-HID-20REX Blasting Gun Light has a 20 watt HID light that produces 1200 lumens of intense illumination. This powerful HID light is designed to be mounted to any standard blasting gun and is powered by a rechargeable battery. This light will run for 140 minutes on a single charge. A specially designed mounting system and quick change protective shield allows operators to use this unit as a blasting gun mounted light source that will stand up to abusive conditions.
This blasting light has a heavy duty mounting assembly formed from machined aluminum for light weight and durability and a replaceable protective polycarbonate lens shield. To replace the lens shield the operator simply removes the rubber cover, slides out the old shield, and inserts the new one. This shield protects the lens from damage caused by blasting media and slag and allows the operator to maintain full light output during operation. This HID blasting light is explosion proof approved and carries Class 1, Division 1 & 2 and Class 2 Division 1 & 2 certification. The BLG-HID-20REX blasting light provides an excellent alternative to standard blasting lights that provides better output and versatility with no cords to cause tripping or limiting of movement around the work area.
“The innovative rechargeable blasting light eliminates the need for replacing batteries,” said Rob Bresnahan with Larsonelectronics.com. “Unlike competitive blasting light solutions, the BLG-HID-20REX can operate without cords or transformers and offers explosion proof protection for use in hazardous locations.”
