PRODUCTS FINISHING Device Returns Solutions to Tanks Paint Booth Lights Use LED Tubes for Higher Output Larson Electronics' EPL-48-2L-LED-G2 LED paint spray booth lights are equipped with LED tubes instead of fuorescents for high output and reliability, as well as full compliance with hazardous location regulations, the company says. According to the company, the LED lights produce more output than comparable T8 fuorescent lamps, yet provide twice the operational life and use less power. While standard T8 fuorescent lamps will operate for approximately 20,000 hrs before requiring replacement, the LED lamps carry a 50,000-hr rating while producing 98.21 lumens per watt.
