Lind Equipment releases new hazardous location rechargeable LED work light
Markham, ON, Canada (June 1, 2010) – Lind Equipment introduces a new standard in hazardous location lighting with the launch of its new XP300LED work light. The XP300LED is a rechargeable intrinsically safe LED light that is approved for Class 1, Division 1, Group C&D locations in Canada and the US. With seven hours of run time on a single charge, the XP300LED will revolutionize the way that portable lighting is used in hazardous locations. The XP300LED has three 3W bright LEDs that are rated for over 50,000 hours. These LEDs are protected by a polycarbonate lens that can be adjusted to change the beam from work light to flood light. When this functionality is paired with the pivoting light head, hanging hook, and wrist strap, the XP300LED is an easy to use hazardous location light that will allow you to get the job done while working confidently. The XP300LED’s NiMH battery (complete with 120V charging cord) removes the need for long runs of cord or expensive explosion-proof plugs. With a length of just over 13” including the battery, the form factor allows the light to get into the tightest of spaces.
