Safety Torches - Visibly Better In Yellow
Wolf Safety is the only company now manufacturing yellow right-angle and straight safety torches which comply with the 94/9/EC ATEX Explosive Atmospheres Directive.
Now it is filling the remaining gaps in its product range with a Zone 0 Headtorch, Mini and Micro Torches and the R-55 Rechargeable Torch with an output of a staggering 80 lumens, twice the light output of Xenon or halogen bulbs of the same Wattage! Zone 0 Explosive Atmospheres are some of the most dangerous environments encountered in Industry, demanding that only equipment of the highest level of Certification can be used.
Until now, torch manufacturers have been faced with a virtually impossible task, in that filament bulbs are just too dangerous to be accepted.
However thanks to the every increasing pace of development in light emitting diodes, manufacturers can now meet these challenges with the degree of safety acceptable under the ATEX Equipment and Workplace Directives.
The pure white light generated by the latest Nichia and Luxeon LEDs are more easily focussed than conventional bulbs and now, with the right optical designs, create beams without distortion, shading and any of the defects normally associated with incandescent filaments.
Wolf Safety will be exhibiting these products at the Safety and Health Show in the NEC Birmingham UK in May 2007 and the A+A in Dusseldorf, Germany in September 2007.
