Is this light intrinsically safe?

That I do not know. When the electricity goes out it helps to keep you safe in your home at night.

If I understand your question, yes. LEDs create light without creating heat. So no danger of overheating. The light seems to work well freeing your hands for various tasks. I think these LED head lamps are very useful.

The pelican appears to be sealed quite well however if you are going to use this light in a explosive atmosphere you should contact the Pelican manufacturer first. You wouldn't want to endanger yourself or others. I have used intrinsically safe lights before and they always have a (IS) sticker on them. I have not noticed one on this light therefore I would assume it should not be used in this capacity.

I don't think so, but you really aren't risking much of ruining the light as they are quite affordable. You definitely won't hurt the battery trying.

I have never seen a light but it has worked faithfully for several years. Check it at the first freeze to be sure it turns on but i have never seen it fail and it has been outdoors in the weather all the time.

I have attached the Light to the top of the Dome light not the plastic defused or clear bottom glass. It has not caused any problems.

YES. If you've read through some of the comments on this product you've seen that reliability is a big problem. For some the light won't shut off and for others it shuts down completely.

Actually, I'm not sure. The light diffusing cover is plastic and maybe a halogen lamp might prove too hot and damage or melt it.

I honestly never had this problem. What I made sure to do is that when I put up the lights I made sure that it was low humidity. Seems to me that the failure has to do w/ humidity if using it outdoors. If inside #1 that A-shouldn't be a problem and B-regardless of using it indoors or outdoors if you go slowly it shouldn't be a problem. I haven't lost a light yet and I've been using these a bit over 2 months now. Also I believe if you bring it to an electronics store like Best Buy and buy some double sided electrical tape that's thin and about the same width that should take care of the problem safely. Don't buy masking or regular shipping tape as that is unsafe. If you have other concerns I'd contact Tao Electronics directly as they're very helpful and their email support is open 24/7. Hope this helps you out.

I would not recommend it outside. However, I am disappointed in the light itself. It's not a "wow" light. It's small and not made as nicely as I would have expected. It's just an okay light! I hope that helps!

I don't why they wouldn't be safe. The use less power and generate less heat than a conventional incandescent equivalent.

I gave these as gifts to the men in my family. I do not think you could look straight at the light. It is very bright. I do not know if there was a warning. Sorry

Mr. Bosco, great idea however I believe that you would be best served by running an independent source to the light. A little critter chewing a hole in the wire eliminates the system security. The previous comments are really quite true. Safety first!

I put it in a 3 way lamp fixture (it doesn't work as a 3 way bulb) and it works fine, no problems. As far as safety, from what I know, there shouldn't be an issue because of the way LED operates on electricity using a micro-chip. It doesn't require ballast or dimmable ballast to regulate the flow of electricity to the lamp (bulb).

I'm afraid I don't know. However, the housing surrounding the light and the battery chamber is solid and has a rubber seal so I think it would be alright for a short amount of time. I hope this helps.

Yes, I do feel safe leaving said product on will not at home. As a design engineer of switch mode power supplies there not much to the circuit that that can lead to a hazardous condition, but they can fail.The fixture is all metal and certified by ETL. ETL is like UL or CSA. Use it safely and you should not have a problem.

I wouldn't recommend that, but I'm sure the shipper could best answer this question. I used my light in the closet....it works great.

I would certainly be cautious when not using these lights as recommended by the manufacturer, i.e dimming them when they are not designed for this type of usage.

That would have to be answered by the manufacturer or an electrician depending on your particular application due to possible injury to you , property , or the fixture or all the above . Anything that is above recommendations by the manufacturer could lead to possible injury . I would say no until you check with the manufacturer .
