New Atex Turbolite Airlamp range

Wolf Safety has launched the new generation of Turbolite high power compressed-air driven safety lamps, CE marked to the ATEX 94/9/EC Directive for use in Zones 1 and 2 Hazardous Areas.

With revolutionary lightweight Aluminium construction for use in Group II industrial applications, the A-TL44A Baylight provides a high level of all round general illumination, while the A-TL45A Floodlight with matt reflector gives a powerful wide-angle beam. They are also dual marked with US Factory Mutual Approval. Alternatively, the A-TL44B and A-TL45B models incorporate traditional brass housings approved for use in Group I mining applications as well as Group II.

Other major improvements over the existing models include sealed bearings, a refined regulator, greater use of stainless steel components, a bulb-life enhancing device and a silencer, incorporating a particle trap.

Used extensively in the petrochemical, oil and marine industries, Wolf Airlamps provide illumination in many applications, including shot blasting, cleaning and coating of storage tanks and vessels, and for pipeline and structural engineering activities.

They offer a safer alternative to mains and low voltage lighting, where explosive atmospheres present a serious risk to the workforce.

A full range of accessories is available, including anti-static hose, filters, filter stands, tripods and setting and testing devices.
