The Larson Electronics EPL-MBC-150LED-RT-100C-XEMG-10C Explosion Proof LED Flood Light produces 21,000 lumens of output and is capable of illuminating an area of 9,500 square feet. This adjustable Cree LED light features a remote mounted emergency backup battery that powers the light for 90+ minutes in the event of an outage. A heavy-duty A-frame with a magnetic base enables temporary mounting on surfaces, walls or ceilings.

The EPL-MBC-150LED-RT-100C-XEMG-10C explosion proof LED light is equipped with an emergency battery backup, which will power the light for 90+ minutes at 150 watts when power is unavailable. During use, the unit provides 9,500 square feet of work area coverage with 21,000 lumens of light output. This LED light generates a wide flood pattern that is ideal for illuminating large workspaces and job sites. The light is designed for heavy-duty use in demanding conditions including emergency services, mining, construction, marine, and industrial operations where durability and reliability is critical.

LED Benefits: Unlike gas burning and arc type lamps that have glass bulbs, LEDs have no filaments or fragile housings to break during operation and/or transportation. Instead of heating a small filament or using a combination of gases to produce light, light emitting diodes (LEDs) use semi-conductive materials that illuminate when electric current is applied, providing instant illumination with no warm up or cool down time before re-striking. Because there is no warm up period, this light can be cycled on and off with no reduction in lamp life.

LED lights run at significantly cooler temperatures than traditional metal halide and high pressure sodium lights and contain no harmful gases, vapors, or mercury, making them both safer and more energy efficient. No extra energy is wasted in cooling enclosed work areas due to external heat emissions from bulb type lights, and the operator risks associated with traditional lighting methods, such as accidental burns and exposure to hazardous substances contained in the glass bulbs, are eliminated. In addition, LEDs are also safer for the environment as they are 100% recyclable, which eliminates the need for costly special disposal services required with traditional gas burning and arc type lamps.

LED Drivers: Even in LED fixtures, heat is the single largest factor in premature light failure and color shifting. As a result, many manufacturers reduce the output of their LEDs in order to reduce the amount of heat produced. Rather than lower light output or quality, Larson Electronics addresses this problem with the addition of electronic LED drivers. These internal drivers provide the ability to automatically monitor and adjust input current to maintain the correct LED voltage levels regardless of input levels across a specific range. This not only reduces the energy dissipation, effectively lowering the operating temperature of the fixture, but also prevents AC over-voltage and short circuit loading making this fixture virtually maintenance free. Because the electronic drivers allow the EPL-MBC-150LED-RT-100C-XEMG-10C to run at a cooler internal temperature and regulates the electrical current, energy efficiency and LED service hours are maximized while at the same time reducing operating costs and downtime incurred from the frequent servicing intervals required with other hotter running lights.

The explosion proof LED light fixture features multiple LED drivers which helps to increase the operational life of the fixture. With traditional LED lights, in the event an LED array or driver fails, the entire fixture no longer illuminates. With the EPL-LED-150W-RT series of explosion proof lamps from Larson Electronics, each LED fixture contains six individual LED boards configured in a series of banks. Each bank contains two LED on a single board with an individual driver. In the event of a driver failure, only one bank of LEDs will be effected while the other banks will continue to operate. In the event that of an LED failure, the mating LED will continue to operate.

60¡ Beam Angle
125¡ Beam Angle
140¡ Beam Angle

Beam Angles: When used as a portable lighting solution, the varying beam angles cater to specific activities and environments. The 60¡ beam provides the most intense beam of the three options. It is perfect for narrow, confined spaces and is ideally suited for tank cleaning purposes. It offers focused light to provide ample illumination in tight work spaces and other environments. The 125¡ beam offers a more diffused source of light that is also less intense in brightness. It is a great general area work light and performs well when used for outdoor illumination. The 140¡ beam offers a very wide lighting pattern and is ideal for situations where lighting distance is not a concern, and requires illuminating a wider area with even light distribution. The 140¡ beam is great for situations that call for working in close proximity to lights such as in a paint booth.

This unit produces 21,000 lumens with a color temperature of 5600K standard and a color rendering index of 75, which produces colors and details much more accurately than high pressure sodium or mercury vapor luminaries. We also offer both 3000K warm white and 4500K natural white color temperature options (longer lead times may apply for non-standard temperatures). This lamp uses Cree LED units that have been chosen for their high lumen per watt ratio and extreme longevity. These Cree LEDs generate a robust 140 lumens per watt effective lumen output and have a 80% lumen retention at 60,000 hours, giving them better efficiency and operational life than traditional light sources.

This LED light is equipped with 100` of 16/3 SOOW oil, chemical, abrasive, and water resistant cable, which is connected to the emergency battery backup which must be installed outside of the hazardous area. An additional 10 feet of cord connected to the backup battery is terminated in a general application cord cap, which is combined with adjustability offered by the LED light head, and provides ample length for optimal coverage of the workspace. Plug options include standard 5-15 15 amp straight blade plug for 110V wall outlets with ground, standard 6-15 15 amp straight blade plug for 220-240V wall outlets with ground, NEMA L5-15 15 amp twist lock plug for 125V twist lock outlets, NEMA L6-15 15 amp twist lock plug for 240V twist lock outlets, British BS1363 13 amp fused 3-blade plug for United Kingdom outlets, or a two pin 16 amp rated Schuko plug with ground contact and socket for European outlets up to 250V. Alternatively, we can provide flying leads with no plug for hard wire applications or for operators who prefer to wire in user provided cord caps. Please choose pigtail option below for flying leads with no plug.

Field Serviceability: This explosion proof LED light fixture is field serviceable. All major internal components can be purchased from Larson Electronics and installed by a licensed electrician with basic tools. With most explosion proof fixtures, the fixture must be returned to the manufacturer for repair work, which presents downtime and long turn around times for repair work. Larson Electronics addresses this issue with the EPL-HB-150LED-RT series with field serviceability, allowing operators to perform service work without having to return the fixture to the manufacturer in the event of damage or failure.

Each LED light fixture has the potential to save $150.00+ per year in electricity alone, not including maintenance costs, operational downtime, reduced productivity, HVAC loads, or carbon footprint. When retrofitting an entire facility with 100s of light fixtures, the return on investment of LED over metal halide becomes evident.

Voltage: This explosion proof LED light is universal voltage capable and can be operated with 100-277V AC, 50/60 Hz without modifications to the fixture. For an additional cost,Êa low voltage version of this LED fixture that operates on AC/DC voltages from 11-25 volts is also available. 18-48V AC/DC voltage models are available for network systems and marine vessels.
