Airturbo Lamp A-0445 provides aflood beam giving a well diffused 30°angle of light with the standardmatt reflector, or with a polishedreflector, a highly concentrated spot light. The lamp has a 15 mmtoughened glass lens for highimpact strength and pressure resistance. The lamp housings are spark freecast brass with a forged brass safety hook, all nickel plated. Thegenerator is a compressed airdriven turbo-alternator of simple design and robust construction. Agun metal impulse turbine wheel produces the energy to power the 12v 55w Tungsten Halogen bulb.A clean dry air supply is a conditionof certification and essential for the efficient running of these lamps.Deposits of dirt on the inside of thelens will adversely affect the level ofillumination, but if needed, suitable air-line filters can be supplied withthe lamps. Another mandatoryrequirement of safe use is anti- static hose, designed to avoid a dangerous build up of staticelectricity. The Airturbo lamp has manyinherent safety features recognised in the BASEEFA Approval; an effectively pressurised and purged system, a protective curtain of air from the exhaust ports, instant cut- off of the lamp if the lens is broken and cooling of heat generating components.All the lamps are run in, tested andset to the necessary output prior to despatch, full maintenanceinstructions and lock keys aresupplied with every Airturbo unit. In- house training on the maintenance and repair of air lamps is available. The Wolf Airturbo lamp is thelongest established Wolf product still in manufacture today, although it has been upgraded many times over the years. Originally used in the Coal Mining Industry to meet the rigorous requirements of underground explosion proof lighting, it is now BASEEFA certified for use in zones 1 and 2 industrial hazardous areas. Today applications are in the Oil and Petrochemicals Industries, for tank cleaning and pipeline inspections, offering a safer alternative to low voltage lighting in dangerously wet conditions or in flammable gases and vapours. Once connected to a suitable air supply, continuous output of high quality general illumination is produced, even under water.
