VIRGINIA BEACH, VA (March 2013) — Morphix Technologies®, an innovator in the science of detection devices for dangerous chemicals, has released the new Chameleon® Arson Investigation Kit to provide responders, law enforcement and fire scene investigators with an easy-to-use, low-cost tool to identify dangerous levels of toxic chemicals in the investigation after a fire.
Whether a fire occurs in a residence, business or industrial facility, combustion creates a cocktail of toxic gases in the fire smoke. After a fire has been resolved, fire officials, arson investigators, and law enforcement are called to ascertain whether a fire was criminal or accidental in nature. Even with the fire extinguished, the burn site still produces unseen toxic chemicals. Since several of these chemicals are not visible or produce a distinct odor, investigators and other personnel may not be aware of the airborne hazards. The new Chameleon® Arson Investigation Kit alerts the investigating team to the potential of toxic gases allowing them to leave the area or take other precautions before an injury can occur.
The Chameleon® Arson Investigation Kit can be used alone or in addition to chemical protective suits and masks to identify dangerous levels of a variety of hazardous chemicals. The Arson Investigation Kit includes an adjustable arm band and easy-to-use cassette holder with 8 different cassettes. The chemical sensors include; ammonia, acid(low pH), hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide and phosgene. The cassette sensor changes color when the toxic gas is present and requires no power source or calibration. Unlike current colorimetric detection systems, The Chameleon® is designed to military standards for use in a wide variety of operating environments including desert heat, artic cold, tropical conditions and immersion in salt or fresh water.

Larson Electronics Releases High Output LED Fixture for Hazardous Location Lighting
LarsonElectronics.com has announces the release of a high output hazardous location LED light fixture designed to for marine and salt water applications. The HALP-48-2L-LED-G2 LED Light offers improved light output combined with a non-corrosive housing for use in hazardous locations where damage from salt water and corrosive marine environments is an issue.
The HALP-48-2L-LED-G2 Marine Environment LED light from Larson Electronics is designed specifically for hazardous location lighting where corrosion and wetness is a constant issue. This high output LED fixture is constructed of non corrosive materials including a glass fiber reinforced polyester housing, poured in cover gasket, stainless steel cover latches, and impact resistant acrylic diffuser, providing excellent protection against the damaging effects of salt water environments. Larson Electronics has also upgraded these fixtures with their second generation LED tubes, giving these lights improved effectiveness with over 5,000 lumens of light produced from 56 watts of power use. These second generation LED tubes also provide 50,000+ hours of operational life and very good resistance to damage from vibration and impacts, making them well suited to industrial operations where machinery and equipment is run on a continual basis. The HALP-48-2L-LED-G2 is also an easily serviced unit. Unlike other LED fixtures designed to replace fluorescent units, the lamps in these fixtures can be easily removed and replaced. Fixtures with integrated LED lights require that the entire assembly be replaced when the unit reaches the end of its operational life. This LED light allows operators to replace the lamps only, reducing maintenance costs and allowing upgrades to more powerful and efficient lamps as LED technology progresses. These hazardous location light fixtures are approved for Class 1 Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D and UL 1598A Marine Type approved as well. They can operate with voltages of 120 VAC to 277 VAC and are available in 12/24 VDC configurations for use with low voltages. The HALP-48-2L-LED-G2 explosion proof LED light is ideal for use in petrochemical processing applications and offshore platform operations where hazardous gases and vapors may be encountered and provide a highly durable lighting solution that can stand up to the rigors of the marine environment.
“The HALP-48-2L-LED-G2 series represent our most powerful linear Class 1 Division 2 LED light to date for corrosive hazardous locations,” said Rob Bresnahan with LarsonElectronics.com. “With the advent of our 28 watt LED tubes, we are able to deliver more than 5500 lumens in a single four foot linear fixture.”
Larson Electronics produces a full range of explosion proof and hazardous location lighting equipment, LED work lights, portable LED lights, LED light towers, and LED boat lights.
