Magnalight.com from Larson Electronics has announced the release of a powerful and durable LED blasting light designed to withstand the abusive conditions of media blasting operations applications.

This powerful LED light is designed to be mounted to any standard blasting gun and is battery powered so no cords or transformers are necessary. This light will run for 80+ hours on a single set of 3-AA alkaline batteries. A specially designed mounting system and quick change protective shield allows operators to use this unit as a blasting gun mounted light source that will stand up to abusive use.

This LED blasting gun light features a specially designed mounting system which allows the unit to be attached to the end of any standard blasting gun. This mount includes all neccessary mounting hardware and a protective lens cover that can be removed and replaced even when wearing gloves. This protective lens is a simple slide in, slide out configuration that allows operators to pull the lens out and slide a new one in as the lens is worn out by exposure to blasting materials such as coal slag, sand and baking soda. This lens is constructed of tempered glass for durability and is held in place by a spring loaded fastener. A slot in the bottom of the lens holder allows particles to clear when performing lens changes.

The BLG-LED-4 LED beam is intense, high quality, and tight even when hitting the back wall of this 40' container.	This particular snapshot shows a comparable halogen light. Notice the halogen is less bright and more yellowish.

Power for this blasting light is provided by 3 AA-cell alkaline batteries which give this unit a runtime of 80 hrs. The high intensity LED in this light produces 90 lumens and has a lifetime of 30,000 hours. A rubber push button switch provides easy operation and a highly durable nylon housing provides excellent resistance to damage from impacts and vibrations. This unit is watertight and able to withstand the rigors of aggressive and heavy duty use applications. Compared to typical gun mounted blasting lights, this compact LED unit is light weight, offers freedom from electrical cords, and produces much brighter and intense illumination than comparable incandescent lights. This LED blasting light is explosion proof and intrinsically safe approved with international certifications. It can be used anywhere in the world in any environment, whether it be dust or vapors.
