Intrinsically Safe Lighting

Flashlights | Headlamps

Western Technology offers intrinsically safe lighting (flashlights and headlamps) for use in hazardous locations and designed to operate with low voltage and current. Typical certifications include: cETLus, ATEX, IECEx and MSHA listing as intrinsically safe permissible. Applications include inspection work in confined spaces and mining environments.

Intrinsically Safe is a design technique applied to electrical equipment and wiring for hazardous locations. The technique is based on limiting energy, electrical and thermal, to a level below that required to ignite a specific hazardous atmospheric mixture.
