Oldham Caplamp GL16 – Hazardous Area Group 1 Mining M2 ATEX Lamps
Oldham Caplamp GL16 – Hazardous Area Group 1 Mining M2 ATEX Lamps
ATEX Certified ◊ Group 1 Mining ◊ Hazardous Areas
Oldham Caplamps are Hazardous Area Group 1 Mining Caplamps for safe use in underground hazardous location mines and non-hazardous (hard-rock) type mines.
Oldham Caplamp GL16 combines reliability and rugged construction with the latest industry standard Halogen bulb G-Series lamp headpiece with the smaller and lighter lithium-ion (li-ion) L9 battery pack.
The Oldham GL16 is not certified against mining safety standards and is therefore only recommended for use in hard-rock mining and tunnelling or other non-hazardous mining applications.
