Overview
The Ericson 1917-12S hand lamp is a 12V low-voltage industrial spotting light designed for confined spaces, inspections, and demanding job sites where bright, reliable illumination is critical. Built with all non-metallic construction and a high-impact Lexan non-glass lens, this lamp delivers 720 lumens of output while consuming only 9 watts, making it energy-efficient and safe for wet locations and food/beverage processing environments.
Key Features
- 720 Lumens Output: High-output LED delivers 50,000 candlepower with minimal power draw (9W, 0.76A)
- Low-Voltage Safety: Inline transformer converts 120V AC to 12V AC, reducing electrical shock risk in wet environments
- Drop and Abuse Resistant: Nylon body with large rubberized cushion protects against impact and marring
- All-Weather Switch: On/off switch with rubberized boot for watertight operation
- 50-Foot Cable: 16/3 SOW (Sunlight Oil-resistant Weatherproof) cable with NEMA 5-15 plug
- Non-Glass Lens: Shatter-resistant Lexan lens ideal for food processing and beverage tank inspection
