conditions produced by blasting opera- tions. Equipped with a quick change lens protection system, this LED blast- ing light is ideal for the abusive and fast-paced conditions of the industrial work place. Protect ion for the LED light assembly from blasting particu- lates is provided by a quick change protective lens assembly that prevents the blasting media from clouding or damaging the actual lamp lens. This system includes a high-strength lens holder fit ted with a tempered glass lens that slips into place in front of the LED light assembly and is secured into position by a spring-loaded lock. Once the lens is no longer effective, it can be quickly and easily replaced by simply sliding the old lens out of its slot and sl iding a new one in. Replacing the lens requires no tools and can be done even whi le wearing full protect ive gear and gloves without any degree of dif f iculty. This LED blasting light also features rechargeable battery- powered operation, providing four or more hours of run t ime on a single charge.
