LumaStar™ LED Illuminators
Model EPL-100 (Aluminum) · Model EPL-316 (316 SS Offshore) · 24VDC Barrier-Driven Option
The Ten-Year Solution™
Jerguson® LumaStar™ Illuminators combine long-life white LED technology with outstanding visibility for hazardous locations. The Model EPL-100 is approved for Class I, Division 1, Groups B, C & D, Zone 1 & Zone 2 hazardous locations. Available in lengths up to 58 inches using a single power supply — one power supply can illuminate four Size 9 gage sections or five Size 7 gage sections while consuming less than 250 mA during normal operation.
High-contrast white LED illumination makes it easy to see liquid level even between glass sections or through dirty sight glass — where green or amber LEDs fail. Contact your NCI Applications Engineer for assistance configuring the proper EPL-100 for your transparent level gage.

Key Benefits
Superior Visibility
High-contrast white LED illumination for clear level indication day or night.
Maintenance-Free Operation
Eliminates bulb replacements and routine servicing — virtually no maintenance required.
Ultra-Long Service Life
Up to 100,000 hours of continuous operation — over 11 years without replacement.
Low Power Consumption
Less than 250 mA during normal operation. Energy savings alone can offset total ownership cost.
No Heat Generation
Safe for continuous use in hazardous areas — no burning hazard to personnel.
Field Upgradable
Designed to retrofit and fit virtually any glass level gage. Covers up to four Size 9 or five Size 7 gage sections.
Extended Field of View
Illuminates long gage assemblies from a single explosion-proof power supply, reducing wiring complexity.
Cost Effective
Electricity savings alone can offset total ownership cost over the product lifetime.
"I purchased some 50 units of EPL-100 Illuminators for Chevron's Hawaii Refinery. The operators are very pleased with this unit as it radiates a tremendous amount of lighting through the gage glasses unlike the older incandescent types we had here. This makes verifying levels in columns, vessels, drums, etc. much easier. This is a good product and suited our needs perfectly."
