KEMP, Texas, July 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Industrial lighting leader, Larson Electronics LLC, has released a 60-watt explosion proof Incandescent jar fixture designed for use in ATEX-rated environments, that offers operators 360 degrees of illumination. This saltwater resistant lamp provides 1,080 lumens of highly visible light for Zone 1, 2, 21 and 22 work sites.

The ATEX-EPL-MJ-60W-230V-PND is an ATEX/IECEx rated incandescent jar light that produces 1,080 lumens of light on just 60 watts at 230V at 50Hz. The incandescent illumination is highly visible, ideal for use in abnormally bright working conditions such as food manufacturing facilities and chemical processing plants. A 360-degree beam ensures the light will be seen from all angles and makes this unit best suited for ceiling or pendant mount applications.

The T4 temperature rated lamp has a lens constructed of temp-resistant pressed glass and housing material constructed of light metal. The assembly is IP66 rated and resistant to saltwater allowing the fixture to be used in wet locations. This explosion proof incandescent jar fixture is equipped with two threaded ¾” NPT hubs that provide access to wiring connections during installation.

“This incandescent jar light is perfect for ATEX-rated job sites that need a compact fixture due to confined spaces,” said Rob Bresnahan, CEO of Larson Electronics LLC. “The lamp is fairly small but produces quite a bit of illumination, like many of our fixtures do.”
