The STRIKE FORCE™

STRIKE FORCE™ | Explosion Proof LED String Light


The proven STRIKER™ is now available as a string light! The STRIKE FORCE™ is an explosion-proof, modular string light system that connects as many STRIKER™ LED light heads as your workspace needs. Add or subtract lights as needed — whether you need two, or 10, or more. Maximum performance at each light head means fewer lights, less weight, and superior illumination in your hazardous workspace.

Western Technology's patented contact mechanism (US-11469546-B2) connects the STRIKER™ light head to the SIDEKICK’s™ Rechargeable Battery, the Dual Battery Pack (manifold), and the T-BOX™ used to configure the STRIKE FORCE™.

The STRIKE FORCE™ is built for minimal to no downtime in the most hazardous work sites. Optional Glow-in-the-Dark safety bumpers are available to help you easily find your light in the dark.

Explosion-proof string lights are the safest option when you need lighting in hazardous areas where flammable gases or vapors may be present. These durable lights are designed to contain any internal explosion and prevent the ignition of surrounding gases.

The explosion-proof string lights at Western Technology Lights use unique sealed fixtures and bulbs that meet strict manufacturing standards. The seal prevents any sparks from escaping and igniting vapors outside the fixture. They also often use lower-wattage bulbs that generate less heat, reducing the risk of overheating.

Incandescent Drop Lighting

Incandescent drop lighting, or string lights, is a popular explosion-proof lighting option. These string lights use old-school incandescent bulbs that emit light in all directions, unlike LEDs which direct light downward. Our Incandescent droplights provide an inexpensive yet attractive option for general-purpose lighting in hazardous locations. They are easy to install and maintain, and spare bulbs are readily available. Explosion-proof incandescent droplights fit the bill for a safe, ambient lighting solution.
