To give users a safer lighting option in hazardous locations, Pelican Products, Inc. introduced the 9435 Remote Area Lighting System (RALS) as its first safety-approved LED area lighting system. Built with versatility and safety in mind, the Pelican 9435 is a compact, 17.6-pound, portable area lighting system that boasts stringent approvals from ETL (Class I, Div 2) CE and ATEX. It features a swiveling telescope mast (extends to nearly 3 feet), a 360 degree articulated light array and a wide area handle for easy gloved grip and transport. The light's next-generation LEDs and dual power mode (with waterproof switch) radiate 1,500 lumens in high and 750 in low. Powered by a maintenance-free rechargeable battery, the system offers up to 5 hours of peak brightness and takes 8 hours to be completely charged when fully expended.
