Eisemann HSE 7 LED Hand-held Floodlight – Explosion-proof

The Eisemann HSE 7 LED (manufactured by Metallwarenfabrik Gemmingen) is a legendary high-performance hand-held spotlight, specially designed for use in the most extreme conditions. As fully explosion-proof (ATEX) equipment, it is standard issue for many fire brigades, emergency services and in the chemical industry.

Equipped with state-of-the-art 3-watt high-performance LED technology, this spotlight literally turns night into day. Unlike conventional halogen spotlights, the HSE 7 LED impresses with an extremely long lamp life (over 50,000 hours) and an extremely robust, maintenance-free lead-fleece battery that delivers consistent performance even during hours of continuous use.

Highlights at a glance

• Certified ATEX protection: Rigorously tested and approved for potentially explosive zones 1, 2, 21 and 22. Absolutely safe for use with gases and dusts.
• Flexible lighting: The lamp head can be swivelled by a total of 190° (100° forwards, 90° backwards), making it ideal for precise lighting at work or as a floor lamp.
• Multiple lighting modes: Provides a powerful main light (continuous light), a switchable flashing light for safety and an extremely economical auxiliary light (emergency light function) for maximum autonomy.
• Enormous endurance: The high-performance lead-fibre battery ensures an operating time of over 8 hours in main light mode and up to 30 hours with the auxiliary light.
• Ergonomic housing: The impact-resistant and non-slip plastic housing is protected against powerful water jets and dust in accordance with protection class IP66 and can be operated easily even when wearing thick protective gloves.
• Intelligent charging technology: The charge status indicator and the integrated deep-discharge protection prevent damage to the battery. Charging takes place outside the Ex zone in a (separately available) charging station.

Areas of application

The Eisemann HSE 7 LED is primarily found in professional and critical infrastructure:

• Fire & rescue services: As a primary handheld spotlight for searching for people, at road traffic accidents or during firefighting operations (ATEX protection).
• Chemical & petrochemical: Inspection of tanks, refineries and production facilities where explosive gases or vapours may be present.
• Sewerage & sewage treatment plants: Illumination of shafts in accordance with explosion protection requirements (e.g. sewage gases).
• Industry & energy suppliers: Maintenance work in power stations, gas pressure regulation systems or silos (dust explosion protection).

Installation & safety instructions

• Charge only in a safe area: Charging the spotlight in the accompanying charging station (e.g. LS HSE 7 LED) must never in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
• Use extension discs: For specific applications in road traffic or in foggy conditions, orange (often included), red or green insert lenses can be fitted to the lamp head.
• Avoid deep discharge: Although the electronics provide protection, the lead-fleece battery should be placed back on the charging station immediately after any prolonged use. The system supports gentle trickle charging (maintenance charging).
• Testing: ATEX equipment must undergo regular visual and functional inspections by competent persons in commercial applications. Damaged housings or cracked lenses immediately invalidate the explosion protection!

FAQs on the Eisemann HSE 7 LED

Is the charging station included in the standard scope of delivery?

In most cases no. The handheld spotlight (HSE 7 LED) and the charging station (LS HSE 7 LED) are often sold separately by retailers or as part of special bundle deals. Please pay close attention to the product description when purchasing. The charging station can often be operated with both 12V/24V (vehicle) and 230V.

What is the difference between the HSE 7 LED and the HS 7 LED?

The "E" stands for explosion protection (ATEX). The HS 7 LED looks virtually identical and offers the same excellent light output and ergonomics, but no ATEX certification. It is more affordable and intended for standard industrial and security applications where there is no explosive atmosphere.

Can I replace the battery myself if it fails after several years?

According to the manufacturer and the strict ATEX guidelines, repairs and battery replacements on explosion-proof luminaires may generally only be carried out by the manufacturer or authorised, certified specialist workshops, so as not to compromise the explosion-proof guarantee (sealing and intrinsic safety).
