Safety and reliability are critical in hazardous industrial environments where flammable substances pose constant risks. Maes Lighting is excited to unveil the EX-MV01 Portable Explosion-Proof LED Work Light, a revolutionary product designed to illuminate high-risk areas with unmatched efficiency and safety. At Maes Lighting, we’re committed to providing top-tier LED solutions for industries like oil, gas, and mining. This guide dives into the EX-MV01’s features, applications, and advantages, demonstrating why it’s an essential tool for hazardous area lighting.

What Makes the EX-MV01 Stand Out?

The EX-MV01 is a portable LED work light specifically engineered for hazardous environments, offering a perfect balance of safety, portability, and performance. It’s built to meet the rigorous demands of industrial settings while ensuring compliance with global safety standards.

Advanced Features and Safety Certifications

The EX-MV01 is certified for Class I Division 1 (Groups C, D), Class I Division 2 (Groups A, B, C, D), Class II Division 1 (Groups E, F, G), and Class III, along with UL1598, UL1598A, UL924, and UL844 standards. It’s approved for use in hydrogen-rich or gas-heavy environments, making it versatile for various hazardous locations. The light features a copper-free aluminum alloy head with a powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance, paired with a durable plastic body. At just 15 lbs and extendable to 32.5 inches, it’s highly portable, with a 360-degree rotating pole for flexible positioning. Delivering 15 watts, it offers two modes—high (1,600 lumens) and low (500 lumens)—with a battery life of up to 10 hours and a 125° beam angle for wide coverage.

Its explosion-proof design contains internal sparks or heat, safeguarding workers and equipment. The National Fire Protection Association highlights the necessity of such lighting in hazardous settings.

Lightweight Design and Flexibility

Weighing only 15 lbs, the EX-MV01 is easy to transport and deploy. Its 360-degree rotation and adjustable height allow for precise lighting adjustments, making it suitable for illuminating tight spaces or larger work zones as needed.

Efficiency and Longevity

Using just 15 watts, the EX-MV01 delivers up to 1,600 lumens, offering energy savings over traditional lighting.
