    Style B

    Safely light up large spaces where combustible gases and dust are normally present. Rated NEC Class I and II, these lights have a housing that contains any sparks or flames and seals out ignitable gases, vapors, and dust. They’re rated T5, an NEC hazardous location temperature classification. This means their surface temperature stays below 212° F to prevent them from reacting with nearby flammable substances. Made of lightweight, durable aluminum with a tempered glass lens, they withstand bumps and rough handling. They’re often used in chemical processing, refineries, and paint spray booths.
    Unless noted, the plug and power supply on these lights are outdoor rated but are not explosion-proof rated. Electrical connections must be made outside the hazardous environment.
    Explosion-Proof Power Supply—Lights with an explosion-proof power supply have a sealed enclosure, so you can make safe electrical connections within the hazardous environment. Their power supply and plug are explosion-proof rated.
    Style A—Style A can withstand extreme weather and washdowns. Rated NEMA 6P, you can plunge them 6 ft. underwater for 24 hrs. and they’ll still work. They’re easy to move around since they weigh just 10 lbs. Rubber bumpers prevent damage if they’re bumped or dropped.
    Style B—Style B are rated NEC Class III for use in areas with ignitable concentration of combustible fibers and other particles. Rated IP67, they’re dust tight and you can plunge them in 3 ft. of water for 30 mins. and they’ll still work. They won’t spark if dropped and they resist corrosion from salt water and wet conditions.

    Bring light to remote, wet areas. These floodlights are IP rated to handle humidity and dripping, splashing, and falling liquids. Adjust their tripod up and down to direct light as far as you need. They’re also quick to set up and move elsewhere at a moment’s notice.
    Style A—Style A can be used as a freestanding lantern when you lower the tripod, or as a flashlight when you fully collapse the legs. When extended, the head pivots to aim light where you need it.
    Style C—Style C are best where it’s windy. Thanks to their weighted base and locking legs, they’ll handle gusts up to 40 mph. Twist the reflector to switch from a wide flood beam to a narrow spot beam for long-distance lighting. You can also pivot the head to aim light where you need it. When you run out of charge, no problem—plug them in and they’ll still work. The cord is built into the tripod, so it won’t get snagged. For easy transport, these floodlights have a handle and shoulder strap.
    Style D—Style D are made with tough jobsites in mind. For impact resistance, the head is cushioned with rubber at the edges and has a tempered-glass lens. It’s also detachable and has been drop tested from 6 feet. Hang it from a pipe or rail with the steel-reinforced, extendable hook, or stick its magnetic base to a metal surface. The head adjusts to any angle to aim light exactly where you need it. To move these floodlights around, either carry them by the hook or fold them up and put them in their carrying case.
    Style E—Style E have a spot beam that shines up to a mile away. They also have excellent battery life, offering up to a full day of lighting.
    Style F—Style F have three LED panels for 360° illumination. Each panel adjusts up and down and side to side. Turn their adjustable lens to switch between a wide flood beam and a narrow spot beam for long-distance lighting. They also have excellent battery life, offering up to a full day of lighting.
    Style G—Style G have three LED panels for 360° illumination. Each panel adjusts up and down and side to side. Turn their adjustable lens to switch between a wide flood beam and a narrow spot beam for long-distance lighting. They are the tallest option. Control them from up to 20 feet away with the included remote. They also have excellent battery life, offering up to a full day of lighting.
    90 CRI—Lights with a Coloring Rendering Index (CRI) of 90 out of 100 are the best at showing slight color differences. For contrast, most portable LED lights have a CRI of 75-80. Originally used by evidence technicians, they’re great for inspecting paint or similarly colored wires.
    Vehicle—Floodlights with a vehicle plug can be operated as long as needed using an external power source, such as your truck’s battery. Vehicle plugs fit into a standard outlet or a 12V DC power source using the included adapters.
    Wire Leads—Floodlights with wire leads can be operated as long as needed when attached to a 12-24V DC battery, such as your truck’s battery.
    ANSI/PLATO FL 1—Floodlights tested against ANSI/PLATO FL 1 standards confirm the accuracy of performance attributes such as beam distance, impact resistance, and battery life.
    Cannot Be Sold to Canada—Floodlights that cannot be sold to Canada are restricted due to energy efficiency requirements.

    Style A

    Our brightest plug-in floodlights, these lights illuminate large worksites—about the size of a hockey rink. Rated IP68, they’re dust- and watertight enough to handle being temporarily submerged in water, so torrential downpours and snowstorms won’t be a problem. Tilt the heads and adjust the height of the stand to direct light where you need it.
    Style A—Style A lights are also known as balloon lights—they cast light in all directions through a fabric diffuser to reach a diameter of 200 ft. For focused light, remove the diffuser. They’re lightweight, weighing just 45 lbs., so you can move them around your site. Yet they’re sturdy enough to withstand winds of 30 mph with the diffuser on and 60 mph with the diffuser off.

    Hazardous Location Cordless Adjustable-Height Portable Floodlights

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Portable Work Lights. Hazardous Location Cordless Adjustable-Height Portable Floodlights.
    Aim light where you need it—even in explosion-prone spaces—by raising, lowering, and tilting these lights on their tripod. Rated NEC Classes I, II, III, and Zone 0, they’re safe to use near ignitable concentrations of flammable or combustible gas, dust, or fibers. Intrinsically safe, they’re designed not to create enough heat or sparks to trigger an explosion.
    They’re durable enough to fall from 6 ft. and still work. The polycarbonate lens resists impact, and the sturdy steel body has rubber cushioning on the edges. Rated IP67, they’re completely dust tight and can be submerged in water and still work. They’re also tested against ANSI/PLATO FL 1 standards to confirm the accuracy of performance attributes such as beam distance, impact resistance, and battery life.
    Set these cordless lights up on the included tripod or mount them using the hook on the back or the magnet on the base. You can set these lights up quickly and move them elsewhere at a moment’s notice. The hook makes it easy to carry them around your jobsite and the carrying case fits both the light and the tripod.
