Certified intrinsically safe, not just rugged.
The EH1 carries an Ex ib IIB T5 Gb mark, accredited by the Coal Industry Shanghai Electric Explosion-Proof Inspection Station. That means its circuitry cannot release enough electrical or thermal energy to ignite a flammable gas or dust around it.
So it is cleared to wear in the zones where an ordinary headlamp is a spark you cannot risk, the same reason it is built for oil and gas, mining and chemical work.
260 lumens, three levels, and the modes a long shift needs.
A CREE XP-G2 S3 LED gives direct access to High at 260 lumens, then steps down to 65 and 22 lumens for close work that lasts. The single switch reaches every level one-handed, even in gloves.
Two concealed special modes are there when it counts: an SOS to send a distress signal, and a location beacon to mark where you are.
Red light that holds your night vision and cuts through smoke.
Press and hold from standby to bring up four auxiliary red LEDs, in constant or flashing 3-lumen red. Red light keeps your eyes adjusted to the dark instead of resetting them every time you look up.
Its long wavelength also pushes through fog, smoke and haze better than white, so a red flash carries as a distress signal when visibility is poor.
5000K neutral white, easy on the eyes for a full shift.
The 5000K neutral tint throws a smooth, diffused beam that renders the work true rather than washing it out. Over a long period underground it is far easier on the eyes than a harsh cool light.
That is what makes it suit mine exploitation, tunnelling and cave work, where you are under the beam for hours at a time.
Charges from a magnetic cable that will not shake loose.
The USB magnetic charging cable latches onto the back of the lamp, so it cannot be knocked off by accident the way a plug-in port can. It fast-charges at 1A from a wall plug, a car adapter or a PC.
With nothing to unscrew or expose, the sealed body stays sealed while it charges.
A built-in 6,800mAh pack that lasts the shift, and beyond.
Two sealed 3,400mAh cells give 6,800mAh, enough to run High for 10 hours or Low for 120. You charge it like a phone and head back in, with no cells to source or swap on site.
Heat from the LED is carried out through two aluminium substrates, and Advanced Temperature Regulation keeps the output stable and the LED's life long during those long runs.
WHY THE EH1 OVER AN ORDINARY HEADLAMP
Certified for explosive atmospheres
An Ex ib IIB T5 Gb mark means it will not ignite gas or dust, where an ordinary headlamp is a spark risk you cannot take.
Built for the worst conditions
A flame-resistant polycarbonate body, submersion to 3 m and thermal regulation keep it working through dust, water and heat.
Runtime for the whole shift
A built-in 6,800mAh pack runs 10 hours on High and 120 on Low, so it outlasts the job between charges.
One-handed, glove-friendly
Every mode is on a single switch you can work with one gloved hand, no fiddling in a hazardous space.
WHERE THE EH1 WORKS
Oil, Gas & Petrochemical
Refineries, rigs and tank farms where flammable vapour rules out any light that can spark.
Mining & Tunnelling
Hands-free 5000K light and 120-hour low runtime for long shifts underground.
Chemical & Pharma
Plants and labs handling solvents and dusts where an ignition source is a hazard.
Utilities & Confined Spaces
Grain handling, sewers and vessels where dust or gas can build up and you need both hands.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does the Ex ib IIB T5 Gb rating actually mean?
It certifies the EH1 as intrinsically safe: its circuit cannot release enough electrical or thermal energy to ignite an explosive gas atmosphere (gas group IIB), and its surface stays within temperature class T5. In plain terms, it is cleared for zones where an ordinary headlamp is an ignition risk.
Is the battery replaceable, and how do I charge it?
The 6,800mAh battery is built in (two sealed 3,400mAh cells) and recharges through the magnetic USB cable that latches to the back of the lamp, fast-charging at 1A. There are no cells to swap on site.
How tough and waterproof is it?
The polycarbonate body is impact and flame resistant, and the EH1 is sealed to survive submersion under 3 metres of water. Advanced Temperature Regulation keeps it from overheating during long runs.
Made to order. Estimated lead time 3 to 4 weeks.
