MMLP-1MLED-B-12P Group B Temporary Manhole Mount LED Light Fixture
An innovative 24” man-way support bracket combined with a compact design and LED technology make this lamp an excellent lighting solution for operators working within storage tanks, railcars, and other locations where entry is through a 24” manhole opening. The MMLP-1MLED-B-24OD-12P from Larson Electronics is Class 1 Division 1, Group B approved for use in environments where hydrogen is always present. The copper free aluminum alloy body is powder coated for added durability and aesthetics. A special heat dissipating design in conjunction with advanced LED technology helps this fixture achieve an excellent 60,000 hour rated lifespan with 80% lumen retention. This 16” LED light is attached to a 24” supporting plate which allows the light fixture to hang inside the tank or railcar while the supporting plate rests on the lip of a man-way opening. The light is suspended 12” from the lip to lower the light source into the tank. This light is multi-voltage capable and can be operated with 100-277 volts AC. This light offers excellent convenience and effectiveness with a 24” manhole mounting support bracket that eliminates the need for special mounting fixtures or cumbersome string light sets.
“This manhole mounted explosion proof LED fixture is for those applications where hydrogen is always present in the work area,” said Rob Bresnahan with Larsonelectronics.com. “This lamp produces 10,000 lumens with a color temperature of 6,000K and a color rendering index of 70, which produces colors and details much more accurately than high pressure sodium luminaires.”
