McGill7000-G-38Grounded Industrial Extension Hand Lamp, Rubber Handle, Tool-Free Snap-Open Cage for PAR-38, 100 W 125 VAC, Supplied Without Cord or Lamp

Product Description

What this part is

A heavy-duty portable inspection and task light from the McGill 7000-38 series: rubber handle, protective lamp cage, and an internal strain relief that withstands a 30 lb (9.1 kg) pull test — which is the specification that actually separates an industrial hand lamp from a hardware-store trouble light, because the cord entry is where cheap lamps fail.

Read the catalogue number before you order

The carton on this item is printed 7000 G 38, GROUNDED INDUSTRIAL EXTENSION LIGHT, with three bullet points: RUBBER HANDLE · NO CORD · CAGE FOR PAR 38 LAMP, Qty. 1, McGILL, MADE IN U.S.A., UL listed portable luminaire.

The 7000 prefix is the open-end, cordless version. If you want the same light with a cord already fitted, that is 7025G38 — identical handle and cage with 25 ft / 7.6 m of 16/3 SJTW cord. The trailing 38 is the lamp family: PAR-38.

What is and is not in the box

One light per carton, boxed, unused. It includes the handle, the cage and the socket assembly. It does not include a cord, a plug, or a lamp. You supply and terminate your own cord — a grounded three-conductor cord appropriate to the environment, typically 16/3 SJTW or heavier — and you supply the PAR-38 lamp.

Why the cage design is the selling point

The 7000-38 series cage snaps open and closed without tools. On a light that lives in a maintenance crib and gets its lamp changed by whoever is holding it, a cage you can open one-handed in a dark tank or car body is worth more than any spec on the label. The PAR-38 lamp itself is a sealed reflector type, which is why this fixture suits directional inspection work — railroad car inspection, looking down large well pipe, temporary floodlighting — rather than general area lighting.

Important limitation — hazardous locations

This is listed for ordinary, unclassified locations only. It is not a Class I or Class II hazardous-location handlamp. Do not specify it for flammable vapour, combustible dust or explosive atmosphere work; Appleton and other Emerson brands make separately certified explosion-proof handlamps for that duty.

Stock note

Twelve individually boxed units are in stock, so this is a practical crib or fleet buy rather than a one-off.

Interchange guidance

Also written 7000G38, 7000-G-38, 7000 G 38, MCG7000G38. Corded equivalent: 7025G38 / MCG7025G38. McGill is an Emerson brand, sold through the Appleton Group / OZ Gedney catalogue — which is why the same product appears under both Emerson and McGill designations.

Specifications deliberately left blank

McGill does not publish a fixture weight, overall length or a lamp-socket temperature rating for this catalogue number in the sources available, so all three are left blank. The word “GROUNDED” is retained exactly as printed on the carton; the specific conductor configuration behind that designation is not published, so confirm against the socket wiring if the grounding arrangement is critical to your inspection procedure.

Source-data note: the previous description omitted the two facts that decide a purchase — that the light ships without a cord and without a lamp — and described the PAR-38 lamp as if it were included. Both corrected. The rubber handle, tool-free cage, 30 lb strain relief, 125 V / 100 W / 10 A ratings, UL portable-luminaire listing and the ordinary-locations-only restriction have been added. “Grounded” and “Made in U.S.A.” are confirmed on the carton and retained.
