Wolf Safety, leaders in portable lighting solutions for hazardous areas, has launched a NEW headtorch in the Wolf ATEX Lighting Range. The Wolf ATEX LED Headtorch is an ultra small primary cell powered head lamp with a high power LED light source, CE marked to the 94/9/EC (ATEX Equipment) Directive for safe use in Zones 1 & 2 Hazardous Areas.

The new ATEX LED Headtorch incorporates a powerful ‘fitted for life’ LED light source with an output of up to 50 lumens, providing four hours duration at full brightness and up to 25 hours total light duration from just one set of three AAA alkaline primary cells.

The ATEX LED Headtorch is designed for easy single handed switching; it is robust, water and dust tight to IP66 and made from a highly durable, chemical resistant and electrostatic non-hazardous thermoplastic material.

The headtorch has a tilt adjustment mechanism to allow the user to angle the light and utilises bespoke optics, delivering an extra wide angle beam, particularly suitable for close inspection and maintenance tasks.

The adjustable removable fabric head band provided, allows the headtorch to be comfortably worn for extended periods, and a set of four helmet clips allows the headtorch to be securely attached to a hardhat or safety helmet.

Wolf Safety has launched the Wolf LED Floodlite, a high performance, low maintenance, ATEX compliant Hazardous Area Floodlite, using high output, high efficiency LEDs and designed to be transportable specifically for use in temporary applications and installations.

The Wolf WF-300 LED Floodlite range is CE marked to the ATEX Directive for use in Zone 1 and 2 potentially explosive gas and dust atmospheres, with 48 ultra bright high power LEDs producing 3,300 lumens of brilliant white light, brighter than a 200 watt halogen incandescent lamp. Cable powered from voltages of 100 to 254V AC or 24 to 48V AC/DC, the Lamp has low power consumption at 58 watts, is T4 rated and has a low enclosure surface temperature, eliminating the risk of burns.

Supplied as standard with 20 metres of SY Cable, ATEX plug, and integral stainless-steel stand; the LED Floodlite can also be fitted with an ATEX socket, to allow the lamps to be linked together for quick and easy setup of multiple LED units in temporary installations.

Constructed from powder coated marine grade aluminium alloy and sealed dust and watertight to IP66/67, this very low maintenance Wolf LED Floodlite is available with a medium flood as standard, or a wide angle beam to order. Other accessories include a sacrificial lens protecting films for grit blasting and painting applications, magnet fixings and tripod options.
