In hazardous areas, the right lighting is not just convenient, it’s fundamental to safe and effective work. ATEX certified torches provide assurance in environments where explosive atmospheres may be present, but not all solutions are designed with the worker in mind. The UNI-EX rechargeable LED tasklight stands out because it adapts to different situations without overcomplicating the task at hand.
One of the UNI-EX’s most valuable strengths lies in its adaptability. A strong magnet in the base allows it to be fixed securely to metal surfaces, instantly freeing up both hands for the job. The integrated hook provides another option, making it possible to hang the light overhead in confined or awkward spaces. Combined with a lamp head that tilts through 180°, it delivers illumination where it is needed rather than where the light happens to point.
This versatility means one tool can serve multiple functions — inspection, maintenance, or simply providing general visibility — without the need to carry additional lamps.
Of course, not every task allows for hands-free lighting. The UNI-EX is shaped with ergonomics in mind, giving it a secure, comfortable grip even in wet or dirty environments. Its compact design and balanced weight mean it can be held for extended periods without fatigue. Importantly, it also features a belt clip, ensuring the lamp is readily available when moving between tasks. Sometimes the simplest detail, such as knowing the light is always within reach, makes the biggest difference.
Durability and runtime are just as critical as flexibility. The UNI-EX offers up to 15 hours of operation, ensuring it continues to perform across long shifts. It is certified for Zone 0 / 20, carries an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance, and has been built to withstand the everyday demands of industrial environments.
Alongside this resilience, it offers both a wide COB LED floodlight and a concentrated spot beam. This dual output makes it equally suitable for close-up inspection work and broader illumination — a balance that enhances its practicality without complicating operation.
The market for ATEX tasklights is crowded. Many models appear interchangeable, particularly when viewed through technical specifications alone. What differentiates the UNI-EX is not a single figure or feature, but the way it combines them. By providing multiple mounting options, a tiltable head, reliable runtime and a comfortable grip, it reduces the compromises often associated with portable lighting.
The UNI-EX is not intended to redefine hazardous area lighting. Instead, it refines what matters: safety, usability, and reliability. In doing so, it offers a straightforward but highly effective solution for professionals who depend on their equipment to perform without distraction.
