OGI: What are some of the benefits to having a rechargeable lighting solution in one’s operations? Atexindustries: Today, illuminating a job in ATEX zones can be demanding. Matters are getting even worse when you must use extra low voltage. The obligation to use expensive ATEX transformers, too short cables or voltage drop, not enough power, wrong make or type of ATEX plugs, two or three pin non compatible plugs, are just a couple of the problems you can come across. AAnd finally you probably will perhaps need a crane to reach difficult places and an electrician to build and check the installation. TODAY RECHARGEABLE IS THE SOLUTION Rechargable work lights avoids all the problems described above. To our experience, even with longer jobs as in turnarounds, rechargeable can be an effective solution as each individual part of the project in itself can be short and local. Of course you need a strong battery: nothing can be so disturbing and expensive with equipment that let you down on the wrong moment. The battery of the Ultra2 guarantees an operating time of 8 (eight) hours. Not only new out of the box: the Ultra2 has four years guaranty on the battery. By making temporary lighting easier, safer and cheaper, the Ultra2 will revolutionize work in ATEX zones.
