New ATEX compliant lighting range from Wolf Safety
Wolf Safety, the UK market leader in portable explosion-proof safety lighting equipment, has developed a new ATEX Portable Lighting range to meet the challenging demands of the ATEX 94/9/EC Directive
Key features of this torch which facilitated selection, included its compact yet robust right-angle design, high output xenon main spare bulbs and low battery power indicator.
Another important factor was its high visibility yellow body, and the photo-luminescent 'glow in the dark' lens ring which would minimise the risk of a torch being left in critical areas of the aircraft.
The TR-24BMOD black 'Aircrew' Right-Angle Safety Torch is being supplied to RAF aircrew for applications including pre-flight inspections of helicopters and transport aircraft.
Many of the requirements for features were similar to those for the ground crew torch, but product colour and visibility requirements were different.
The aircrew torch was specified in black to allow the use of coloured filters, masking any light that could otherwise leak through the back of the torch, particularly critical with NVG [night vision goggle] compatible filters.
These primary cell torches complement the rechargeable Wolflite Safety Handlamp H-251A, versions of which have been NATO codified and in use with the RAF for approximately 20 years.
