Flashlights | Headlamps

Western Technology offers intrinsically safe lighting (flashlights and headlamps) for use in hazardous locations. They are designed to operate with low voltage and current. Our products are tested and certified for intrinsic safety by independent third party agencies, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Canadian Standards Association (CSA), Factory Mutual Research Corporation (FM) and the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). Typical certifications include: cETLus, ATEX, IECEx and MSHA listing as intrinsically safe permissible. Applications include inspection work in confined spaces and mining environments.

What is Intrinsically Safe?

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.
