Forklift LED Warning Light



Larson Electronics LLC offers a 25-watt explosion proof rechargeable blue LED forklift warning light that runs on a rechargeable lithium ion battery. This unit produces 2,250 lumens of intense blue light to indicate the pathway of the forklift, warning pedestrians of ongoing operation. This forklift warning light is suitable for hazardous locations such as warehouses and delivery bays.

The EXHL-TRN-RPS-LE4-FKWL-BLU-M warning light is a real-time notification to nearby pedestrians and works of the ongoing forklift operation. "Standard forklift warning systems have strobe lights that can hinder operator visibility and/or audible alarms that can irritate workers and pedestrians who have to listen to the constant beeping," said a company spokesperson. The Larson light addresses both issues. The five, 5-watt LEDs in this unit are combined with high purity optics to produce a narrow 5º spot beam, visible during the day and night. This explosion proof LED light operates on a rechargeable 8.8aH lithium ion battery with 8 hours of runtime and is Division 1 and 2 rated in Classes I, II and III.

The EXHL-TRN-RPS-LE4-FKWL-BLU-M housing is constructed of extruded aluminum and NEMA Type 3, 4, 4X, 7 (B,C,D) and 9 (E,F,G) rated, waterproof to 3 m and resistant to the buildup of dust, dirt and humidity. An unbreakable polycarbonate lens covers the blue LED light. This unit can operate in temperatures of -40° C to 60° C, and is inherently resistant to shock and vibration. An adjustable magnetic mount allows operators to control the tilt and rotation of the LED.

"Standard forklift notification systems can be very annoying and distracting with strobing lights and constant alarms," said Rob Bresnahan, CEO of Larson Electronics LLC. "Using a blue steady burn LED eliminates the irritation and still efficiently notifies workers and pedestrians of the ongoing forklift operation."
