The EXP-LED-51 explosion proof rechargeable LED flashlight offers versatility and power with three settings that allow operators to toggle between output levels using a sealed multi-function on/off control switch.

Operators can also hold the switch down to run the flashlight in low mode, producing a 50 lumen light beam and a longer 12 hour runtime.

The explosion proof EXP-LED-51 LED flashlight comes with an included charging base that can be mounted to walls or flat surfaces for added convenience. Users can simply mount the entire flashlight and charger as a unit by doorways and entryways to hazardous locations, thus providing a highly convenient and fully charged portable light source whenever it is needed.
