Introduction – VL71 nR FLOODLIGHT.
The VL71 Floodlight is designed for all round lighting applications. It is suitable for use with tubular discharge lamps and
single ended tungsten halogen lamps. A gear box is used with the low voltage range of 400w HID versions.
The floodlight is restricted in its mounting position. The beam of the floodlight may be aimed at any angle but the control gear
must always be mounted on or below the axis of rotation of the floodlight.
The floodlight is designed to be safe in normal operation.
The floodlight should not be used in conditions where there are environmental, vibration or shock conditions above the normal
for fixed installations.
The gaskets should not be exposed to hydrocarbons in liquid or high concentration vapour states.
The floodlight is suitable for applications where category 3 apparatus is used. The application is for ignitable gas and dust
atmospheres. The floodlight is not suitable for portable applications.
