WL-50 & WL-50HT ATEX / IECEx Certified Rechargeable Worklite™

The WL-50 and WL-50HT lightweight mini Worklite™ are high-performance, rechargeable LED floodlights engineered for use in harsh and hazardous environments. Fully certified for explosive gas and dust atmospheres, these portable lights deliver exceptional brightness, durability, and reliability in Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21, and Zone 22 classified areas.

Designed for demanding industries such as oil & gas, petrochemical plants, refineries, marine, offshore platforms, and confined space maintenance, the WL-50 series provides safe and powerful illumination where conventional lighting simply cannot be used.

Certified for Hazardous Areas – ATEX & IECEx Approved

Safety is critical in explosive environments. The WL-50 and WL-50HT are certified under:

ATEX Directive
IECEx Scheme
Gas Zones: 1 & 2 (IIA, IIB, IIC)
Dust Zones: 21 & 22 (IIIA, IIIB, IIIC)
Gas Temperature Class: T4
Dust Max Surface Temperature: T135°C

Marking:
II 2 GD Ex eb ib mb IIC T4 Gb
Ex tb IIIC T135°C Db

These certifications ensure safe operation in areas where explosive gases, vapours, mists, and combustible dust may be present. The units are also OP IS compliant, providing further operational safety assurance.

High Performance LED Output – Up to 3,100 Lumens

Despite weighing just over 9kg, the WL-50 delivers up to 3,100 lumens at source, matching the performance of larger, heavier models.

Key lighting characteristics:

18 high power white LEDs
Piercing spot beam for long-distance visibility
Wide fringe flood illumination for area coverage
Designed LED life of 100,000+ hours (“Fitted for Life”)

This combination of focused and peripheral light ensures excellent visibility for inspection, maintenance, shutdown work, and emergency response operations.

Lightweight Yet Rugged Design

At approximately 9.3kg including battery, the WL-50 is around half the weight of larger industrial worklites while delivering equivalent brightness.

The housing features:

Powder-coated die-cast aluminium construction
Stainless steel adjustable stand
6mm impact-resistant toughened glass lens
Corrosion-resistant design for offshore use

The robust design withstands harsh industrial conditions including vibration, shock, and corrosive atmospheres commonly found in marine and oilfield environments.

Dual Power Settings & Intelligent Battery Management

The WL-50 series is powered by a sealed gel lead acid rechargeable battery:

12V battery
10Ah (WL-50)
9Ah (WL-50HT)
Recharge time: approx. 8 hours
Battery life: up to 200 recharge cycles (at 20°C ambient)

Light duration:

Up to 5 hours on high power (WL-50)
Up to 10 hours on low power
WL-50HT: up to 4.5 hours (high), 9 hours (low)

An integrated control circuit provides:

Dual power output modes
LED battery level indicator
Low battery cut-off protection
Deep discharge prevention

This intelligent battery management system protects battery health and maximizes operational reliability.

IP66 & IP67 Certified – Built for Extreme Conditions

The WL-50 and WL-50HT are certified to:

IP66 – Dust tight and protected against powerful water jets
IP67 – Protected against immersion up to 1 metre

This ensures reliable performance in:

Heavy rain
Offshore washdowns
Dust-heavy industrial facilities
Wet confined spaces

The sealed enclosure prevents ingress of dust and water, maintaining safety and operational integrity.

Flexible Mounting Options

The stainless steel frame provides excellent stability and adjustability. The light can be:

Directed precisely using the adjustable angle frame
Mounted on compatible tripods
Fixed to flat ferrous metal surfaces using magnetic bracket kits

This flexibility makes the WL-50 ideal for:

Tank inspections
Temporary shutdown lighting
Scaffold lighting
Maintenance work in tight spaces

Anti-Static Protection for Specialized Applications

For shot blasting and paint applications, optional ATEX certified accessories are available:

Disposable anti-static lens guards
Anti-static paint protection covers

These accessories help protect the light from overspray, debris, and contamination while maintaining certification compliance.

Ambient Temperature Range

The WL-50 models are designed for varied climates:

WL-50: -20°C to +45°C
WL-50HT: -20°C to +50°C

This extended temperature capability makes the units suitable for Middle East operations, offshore rigs, desert environments, and cold storage facilities.
