The Magnalight EPL-24QP-1X4-250 quad-pod mounted metal halide light tower is a powerful explosion proof portable tower lighting system that provides the high output of a metal halide lamp combined with the easy mobility of a collapsible wheeled tower. This tower lighting system consists of a 400 watt metal halide lamp head producing 36,000 lumens mounted atop a non-sparking aluminum tower with a four leg quad-pod base and two solid rubber wheels. The light tower is adjustable from 4 feet to 9 feet in height and can be collapsed, the wheel attachment removed, and the legs folded for easy transport. The four leg design and included solid rubber wheels provide a tower platform that is highly stable, yet easily moved from one area to another simply by tilting the tower back and rolling it to the new desired location. The metal halide lamp measures 23 7/8 inches in diameter so it can fit into 24 inch man ways for setup in tanks and containers where cleaning and repair operations require a powerful source of illumination that can be operated in environments where hazardous gases and vapors may be present. The lamp head is adjustable vertically up or down and is equipped with 250 feet of SOOW cord and an ECP1523 Class 1 explosion proof straight blade plug for safe connections and plenty of length for moving the tower around the work space. The 400 watt metal halide lamp on this unit can illuminate 20,000 square feet of work area and is ideal for close work and critical operations where good color rendering and contrasting is necessary for accurate and productive turnaround. This tower is Class 1 Division 1, Groups C and D approved, Class 1 Division 2 approved, T3 temperature rated, and operates on standard voltages of 120-240 volts 50/60 Hz. The EPL-24QP-1X4-250 quad-pod tower light is ideal for operations in hazardous locations where high power and portability are required and offers added value with convenient wheeled mobility and collapsible construction.

"This explosion proof light tower can be collapsed down to 4.5 feet, the legs can be folded, and the wheels removed making the EPL-24QP-1X4-250 easy to transport or store," says Robert Bresnahan from Larson Electronics' Magnalight.com. "The Class 1 Division 1 EPL-24QP-1X4-250 harnesses 400 watts of metal halide light output, producing a wide beam extending 200 feet in length, making it ideal for use in tanks and vessels."
