    With a smooth, shatterproof lens, these lights have no crevices where debris can accumulate. Their stainless steel connectors, plastic lens, and mounts resist acids, alkalis, and other chemicals commonly used in food environment washdowns. All are IP rated to seal out dust and withstand high-pressure, high-temperature sprays required for sanitizing.
    Linkable—Cascadable lights can be linked together to form a row. Connect them with 4-pole M12 cords (sold separately).

    Power Cord Not Included

    Illuminate inline flow sights to inspect the color, clarity, and flow of liquids in food and beverage, brewery, chemical, and pharmaceutical processing lines. A hands-free alternative to flashlights and machine lights, these lights slide in between the sight glass and the external bars on your flow sights. Made of flexible silicone, they create a watertight seal against the sight glass, minimizing the space where bacteria can grow. The lights are also totally enclosed, so they’re protected from high-temperature washdowns and harsh cleaners. USP Class VI certified, these lights meet the highest safety standards of the United States Pharmacopoeia.
    With built-in LEDs, these lights last longer, are more efficient, and generate less heat than other light technologies. A neutral light appearance lets you see true colors, which improves the visibility of even dark liquids in dimly lit areas. These lights will not yellow, so the quality of the light will not change. You can also use them to backlight clear containers. They require a power cord with an M12 socket that withstands washdowns (not included).

    Sanitary Articulating-Arm Machine Lights

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Machine Lights. Sanitary Articulating-Arm Machine Lights.
    Shine light on machinery and through the sight glass on tanks to inspect food, brewery, chemical, pharmaceutical, and bio-tech processing lines. Made of stainless steel, these lights withstand frequent washdowns with harsh cleaners and sanitizers. With a sealed lens, rounded edges, and polished surfaces, there aren’t any pits and crevices where bacteria and water can get trapped, so you can leave them mounted to machinery during cleaning. The lens will also stand up to bumps without cracking. Rated IP65 and NEMA 4X, these lights are protected against dust, dirt, corrosion, and light rinses.
    Using built-in LEDs, these lights last longer, are more efficient, and generate less heat than other light technologies. Their cool light appearance is good for inspecting, and the 25° beam angle casts a narrow beam of light to maximize brightness on the inspection area. Use the articulating arm to aim light where it’s needed. Compared to gooseneck-arm lights, these lights hold their position better, especially around vibration.
    These lights have a mechanical switch that when pushed once, will turn the light on for two minutes. When pushed twice, the light will turn on for 30 minutes. When the switch is pushed and held, the light will turn on until the switch is released.

    Sanitary Lights for Quick-Clamp Fittings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Machine Lights. Sanitary Lights for Quick-Clamp Fittings.
    Attach these lights in one of the quick-clamp ports for a clear view of what's inside tanks, filters, and other closed containers used in brewery, pharmaceutical, and food-processing lines. Made with a 316 stainless steel body that is IP65 and NEMA 4X rated, they seal out dirt and dust, and won't corrode from frequent rinsing with harsh cleaners and sanitizers. With rounded edges, polished surfaces, and a fused lens, there aren’t any crevices for water and bacteria to hide in, so you can leave them mounted to machinery during cleaning. The lens doesn’t contain Bisphenol A (BPA), Bisphenol B (BPB), or BPA derivates (BPX), which are chemicals that could contaminate food and beverage applications. These lights also meet ASME BPE, which is a design standard for bioprocessing equipment that helps ensure purity and safety.
    You’ll need to make sure your tank has at least two ports, since these lights require their own port. They mount to the port using quick-clamp clamps (not included), while leaving the other port for viewing. Mounting the light this way makes it easy to install and remove for cleaning.
    With built-in LEDs, these lights last longer, are more efficient, and generate less heat than other light technologies. Their cool light appearance is good for viewing the contents of stainless steel containers, such as brew kettles and bioreactors. The narrow 25° beam angle concentrates light output through the lens and into the tank. Made of plastic, the lens resists shattering, high temperatures, corrosion, and chemicals. It’s reinforced around the edge with 304 stainless steel, so it won’t chip, crack, and break from the pressure of the quick-clamp fitting. Attach the lens to the body using the included set screws.

    Know your machine’s status at a glance—green for running, red for stopped, yellow for standby. Using your programmable logic controller (PLC), you can adjust the brightness of these lights and mix red, green, and blue light to achieve thousands of colors. They shine a bright white by default to illuminate your production line.
    With a smooth, shatterproof lens, these lights have no crevices where debris can accumulate. Their stainless steel connectors, plastic lens, and mounting brackets resist acids, alkalis, and other chemicals commonly used in food environment washdowns. All are IP rated to seal out dust and withstand high-pressure, high-temperature sprays required for sanitizing.
    Use the included hardware to install them in your machine. They require a 5-pole M12 socket (sold separately) to connect to your PLC.
