Headlamps Range

Professional headlamp: hands free and the work area lit

In a confined space, inside a pylon or during night work, lighting is part of safety: seeing the anchor point, the connectors and the footholds prevents mistakes. A professional headlamp lights up the line of sight while leaving both hands free to move. The KRATOS SAFETY KS LIGHT range includes two lines: RAINBOW for occasional use and NEWTON for intensive use with long battery life.

Choosing a headlamp for your use

• Occasional use (inspection, troubleshooting): a lightweight battery-powered lamp, simple to use.
• Daily use and long interventions: a rechargeable Li-Po battery lamp, up to 600 lumens, with several lighting levels to manage battery life.
• Explosive atmospheres: an ATEX headlamp usable up to zone 0, suited to tanks, silos and networks where gases can accumulate.
• Rain, dust, washing: a protection rating from IP54 to IP67 depending on the model; IP67 withstands temporary immersion.

The output (in lumens) is chosen according to the lighting distance and battery life: the brighter the lamp, the more it consumes. Clips and adhesive mounting plates let you fix the lamp or its battery to a safety helmet, and a pouch protects it during transport.

Standards and regulations for headlamps

A headlamp is not PPE: it does not fall under Regulation (EU) 2016/425. It complies with the rules for electrical equipment (electromagnetic compatibility, hazardous substances, recycling of waste electronic equipment). The version for explosive atmospheres is certified to the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU; its marking (for example Ex ia IIC T4 Ga) indicates the zone, gas group and temperature class allowed. The user instructions and technical data sheet are in the Documents tab of each product page.

Completing your equipment: from headlamp to equipped workstation

• A safety helmet with headlamp clips,
• spare batteries for long interventions,
• for ATEX areas, fall protection PPE from the FREE BLAST range suited to the same zone.

Headlamp maintenance

• Before each intervention: check the charge, the headband and the seal of the battery compartment.
• In ATEX zones: only open the lamp and change the batteries outside the explosive area, using the batteries stated in the user instructions.
• Storage: in a dry place, with the battery partly charged if the lamp is not used for a long time.
