The Nightstick Dicata Intrinsically Safe Headlamp was not only designed for fire helmets and hard hats, but also to function without interfering with face shields. Take that and couple it with a cULus, ATEX and IECEx intrinsically safe certified safety rating along with meeting the requirements of NFPA 1907-8.6 (2013) and you have the DICATA Class I, Division 1 headlamp.
The CREE LED spotlight and LED floodlight use a series of Total Internal Reflection (TIR) Lenses that are specifically designed to optimize output. According to the company, two enlarged front-mounted buttons make it easy to toggle through the high/low beam options or have the spot and floodlight on simultaneously, even when wearing gloves.
With a beam distance of 120m (394'), the Dicata’s spotlight emits 275 lm, while the floodlight emits 205 lm. When operating simultaneously in dual-light mode, the output is 310 lm. Nightstick also added an independently controlled amber rear-facing light to make it easy to identify other team members in dark, hazardous places.
“There has to be more than enough light, but the overall design of these lights cannot be overlooked,” Russell Hoppe, marketing manager for Nightstick said. “Once the light is on the helmet, the only time a user should have to touch it again is to articulate the light or turn it on and off. With Dicata, say good riddance forever to the days when face shields and fire helmet badges interfere with proper fit and function.”
The XPP-5462 Dicata (available in red or green) uses a heavy-duty rubber strap to fit on fire helmets and hard hats. It’s made of a chemical/impact resistant glass-filled nylon polymer and includes 3 AA batteries. It is designed for versatility, stability and safety. Click here to see a video demonstration.
