Types of LED Fixtures for Explosion Hazard Zones
Models available on the market can be divided into Ex lighting fixtures, intended for continuous lighting, and Ex emergency fixtures, which provide lighting in case of power failure. Emergency fixtures are available in two main variants: with their own battery and for cooperation with a central battery, allowing for flexible adaptation to the specific requirements of a given facility.
Features of OptiLine Ex ATEX LED Fixtures
These fixtures are characterized by a thoughtful design that allows for quick and safe installation without the risk of losing loose parts. The possibility of easy through-wiring and the use of up to four M20 or M25 cable glands significantly simplifies installation, minimizing the need for junction boxes and reducing the use of cables and cable trays. Additionally, the availability of different lenses allows for precise directing of light where it is most needed.
Advantages of OptiLine Ex ATEX LED Fixtures
The main advantage of ATEX Ex LED fixtures is their compliance with ATEX and IECEx standards, ensuring safe use even in the most demanding explosion-prone spaces. These fixtures also feature high resistance to external factors, such as chemicals or mechanical impacts, which translates into their long durability and reliability. The use of LED technology provides excellent energy efficiency and high-quality light, which is crucial in many industrial processes.
Application of ATEX Ex LED Fixtures
Emergency explosion-proof lights are used in a wide range of industrial sectors, including the chemical, petrochemical, energy industries, and places where strict safety standards apply. They are ideal for use both inside and outside buildings, in Zones where there is a risk of explosion of gases, vapors, mists, or dust, ensuring not only safety but also reliability and durability under difficult working conditions.
The high quality and thoughtful design of these fixtures make them an essential choice for all facilities where safety and the efficiency of emergency lighting are priorities.
Explosion-proof lamps
Explosion-proof lamps [Ex / ATEX - zone 21, 22, 2] are a key component of safety systems in explosion-prone areas. Designed to provide reliable lighting in the harshest environments, these luminaires combine innovative technology with the highest safety standards.
Types of Ex / ATEX explosion-proof LED luminaires
There are Ex luminaires, which are the primary source of light, and Ex emergency luminaires, which provide illumination in the event of a power failure. Emergency luminaires are available in versions with a built-in battery and for cooperation with a central battery, which allows flexible adaptation to the needs of the facility.
Features of OptiLine Ex ATEX series LED luminaires
HARDO luminaires are distinguished by their pass-through wiring capability, which simplifies installation and minimizes the need for additional components such as junction boxes. The availability of different lenses allows light to be directed exactly where it is needed, and the use of LED technology ensures high energy efficiency. In addition, the luminaires have no loose parts, which significantly increases the safety of installation and operation.
Advantages of explosion-proof LED luminaires
Ex / ATEX luminaires guarantee safe use even in the most demanding conditions. Their resistance to chemicals, mechanical damage and harsh weather conditions makes them ideal for the chemical industry, petrochemical industry, energy industry and other sectors requiring reliable lighting in hazardous areas. The high quality of LED light improves visibility and increases occupational safety.
LED linear luminaire: applications
With a broad range of certifications, including ATEX and IECEx, explosion-proof lamps can be used in Ex zones 21, 22 and 2. They are indispensable in areas where flammable gases, vapors, mists and dusts are present, providing lighting that not only meets the highest safety standards, but also offers the performance and durability needed in demanding industrial environments.
Explosion-proof lamps [Ex / ATEX - zone 21, 22, 2] are a key element for ensuring safety and reliability in high-risk workplaces. Their advanced design, high efficiency and compliance with international standards make them an indispensable solution for many industries.
Potentially explosive zones and explosion-proof luminaires
In zones 21, 22 and 2, defined by ATEX directives as places with an increased risk of explosive atmospheres, the use of explosion-proof lamps is not only a recommendation, but often a legal requirement. Zone 21 refers to areas where the presence of combustible dust is frequent, zone 22 covers places where such situations occur occasionally, and zone 2 refers to spaces where hazardous gases or vapors rarely accumulate. Explosion-proof lamps must therefore meet the specific requirements for each of these zones , to ensure optimal safety levels. In addition to ensuring safety, these lighting devices also offer high energy efficiency and light quality, which is important for maintaining productivity and comfort in harsh industrial environments. It is for these zones that HARDO explosion-proof luminaires have been developed.
Explosion-proof lamps: what about certification?
The design and manufacturing process of explosion-proof lamps is closely monitored to ensure their compliance with international safety standards, such as the ATEX directive and IECEx standards. Each lamp must pass a series of rigorous tests that evaluate its explosion resistance, ability to operate in extreme conditions and durability. The certification of these devices is proof that they can operate safely in certain hazardous areas, which is crucial to ensuring the protection of workers and property. In addition, manufacturers offer a wide range of explosion-proof lamps, including LED models, which offer additional benefits such as long life, lower energy consumption and better light quality. Choosing the right type of explosion-proof lamp is therefore essential for safe and efficient operations in Ex / ATEX zones.
How much does an explosion-proof luminaire cost?
The easiest answer: it depends. And, in fact, on the market there are high-end products and those about which you would doubt that they have passed all certification tests. And among those that actually meet all the normative requirements there are solutions with which you will agonize during installation, and after a few years you will have to replace, and also those that you will install easily, cheaply and pleasantly, and the fixtures will serve you for many years.
HARDO explosion-proof luminaires belong to the latter type and their price, depending on their design, is between EUR 70 and EUR 170 per piece.
