Headtorches for potentially explosive environments (gas/dust).

[Frank E]

What manufacturers have LED headlamps for potentially explosive atmospheres?
I've found the Peli ATEX! 2610Z1 so far but it's not a brand I've used. The Petzl/Wolf ATEX Duo looks a bit bulky.

:welcome: the forum for ugly smilies and beautiful lihgts.
The TIKKA® XP ATEX / HAZLOC is a less bulky alternative to the duo.
Streamlight 3AA HAZ-LO is also an APEX alternative, but I would recommend the Tikka.

Thanks for those.

I've been using the LED Lensers for non-hazardous locations.
Pleased with the light output and battery life (Ansmann or Energiser NiMHs) from them. The Headfire Triplex I've found easier to work with over the Headfire Power chip due to it's more diffuse luminance.
Only drawback is the restraints that hold the elastic in place seem to break off quite easily. The belt pouches were handy while they lasted.
I would have probably stuck with the brand had they done ATEX/ Explosive atmosphere ones.
They certainly put my 2D and 4D Maglites to shame.

Thanks for the welcome, Middle of a festive season and I spent Saturday night on a flashlight forum.
