Larson Electronics LLC Releases Portable 140W Expl

KEMP, Texas, May 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Industrial lighting leader, Larson Electronics LLC, announced the release of a 140-watt explosion proof LED light tower with dimming capabilities that is mounted on a portable quadpod base. This portable LED is a compact powerhouse paired with state-of-the-art AC LEDs which increase efficiency, thermal management and durability, and is an ideal fixture for oil refineries, petrochemical plants, offshore rigs, marinas, docks and other hazardous locations that can benefit from portable illumination.

The EPLX-QP-140W-1XR32-TRC-100 heavy duty Class I Division II, Class II Division II portable LED tower delivers brilliant and robust performance, producing 14,700 lumens with a color temperature of 5000K, while drawing just 140 watts. The 110-degree flood beam this unit projects provides operators with very broad, high-intensity coverage perfect for illuminating large outdoor spaces.

The AC LEDs eliminate the drivers normally associated with DC LEDs, freeing up space for more connective surface, which accelerates heat dissipation and increases durability, improving the EPLX-QP-140W-1XR32-TRC-100’s performance and efficiency. Maximum thermal efficiency allows this unit to be used in extreme operating temperature ranges found in high heat applications. The EPLX-QP-140W-1XR32-TRC-100 can also be wired to a dimmer switch, allowing operators to manually adjust the brightness of the lamp.

Designed to withstand the wear and tear of outdoor use in hazardous environments, this portable LED can survive in sun, wind, rain, snow and sleet, and is IP67 waterproof rated, protected against the ingress of dust, dirt and humidity. The construction can also hold up to corrosive elements such as saltwater spray making this unit ideal for marine environments.

This portable LED is mounted on top of a four-leg quadpod constructed from non-sparking powder coated aluminum which is adjustable from seven to twelve feet. This quadpod mount includes two solid wheels, which allow the operator to tilt the unit back and roll the entire assembly where needed. This explosion proof LED operates on 120V AC, 208V AC, 220V AC, 240V AC or 277V AC.

“The EPLX-QP-140W-1XR32-TRC-100 is a great explosion proof LED fixture for outdoor hazardous locations because of its mobility and powerful output,” said Rob Bresnahan, CEO of Larson Electronics LLC. “The exceptional flood illumination produced from the AC LEDs creates greater light stability and the collapsible tower makes transporting the unit extremely easy - great for temporary use.”
