Why do I need an intrinsically safe flashlight like the Pelican™ MityLite® and what does intrinsically safe mean?
The Pelican™ MityLite® has been through rigorous testing procedures to achieve the intrinsically safe rating. The idea behind this is to ensure that any sparks, flames, or hot gases are not allowed to escape from within the housing of the flashlight to trigger an explosion in the surrounding atmosphere. What this means is if you’re where there are gas vapors that can explode, turning on the flashlight will NOT cause these vapors to ignite! Consequently, we provide you a flashlight that is not only of the best quality, but will be there when you need it, regardless of the environment you may be in.
