Performance I.S. Helmet Headlamp
Photo of Foxfury Performance intrinsically safe battery operated LED helmet headlamp
  • Intrinsically safe
  • Only headlamp approved for Cl I, Div 1, A-D
  • 24 white LEDs
  • 38 Lumens
  • Low profile with 90° tilt
  • Powered by 4x AA batteries
  • Up to 8 hours at full power
  • Tap switch
  • Waterproof to 20 feet / 6 meters
  • 12 month warranty
The Performance is the only headlamp in the world approved for use in Class I hazardous locations where group A & B gases may be present. These include hydrogen and acetylene, and it means that it may be used in all Class I, Division 1 & 2 locations without having to consider which gases may be present.

Designed for use with or without a safety helmet the Performance has an attached battery pack* containing four AA batteries, yet the weight is only a fraction over 10 ounces. The low profile LED light bar may be tilted downwards and power is turned on & off by a simple tap switch. It works best for activities within a 20 foot range, but can illuminate up to 150 feet away.

*Note that operation in hazardous locations requires that the battery pack may not be opened. Batteries may only be changed when the headlamp has been returned to a non-hazardous location.
