LED Fixture – ATEX / Ex [Zone 22, 21, 2]
The ATEX/Ex LED fixture designed for Zones 22, 21, 2 is a technologically advanced lighting device, designed for safe use in explosion-prone areas where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts are present. Thanks to the use of LED technology, these fixtures offer high energy efficiency, long lifespan, and minimal maintenance requirements compared to traditional light sources. ATEX/Ex LED fixtures comply with the ATEX directive, meaning they meet the European Union’s strict safety standards for electrical and non-electrical equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
They are designed to prevent any sparks or excessive heating that could ignite an explosive atmosphere. The construction of these fixtures must provide protection against the penetration of flammable substances and withstand extreme environmental conditions while maintaining high quality and durability of lighting.
ATEX lighting engineered for hazardous, explosion-prone environments. For internal and external use as general lighting in Zone 21, 22 and 2. Well-thought-out fixture design helps reduce the costs of installation materials and labor. These EX light fixtures and fittings, embedded with advanced LED technology, ensure robust and reliable illumination while adhering to stringent ATEX and IECEx certifications.

Choosing the right LED fixture with ATEX / Ex certification, designed for use in explosion-prone Zones (22, 21, 2), is crucial for ensuring safety and lighting efficiency in industrial working conditions. These fixtures are specially designed and tested to withstand extreme conditions and not pose a risk of ignition in the presence of flammable gases, vapors, mists, or dusts.
Types of ATEX / Ex LED Fixtures
Based on available information, ATEX / Ex LED fixtures on the market can be divided into several main categories:
- Ex Lighting Fixtures: intended for constant illumination of workspaces in explosion-prone Zones. They are equipped with efficient LED modules that guarantee high light quality and energy savings.
- Ex Emergency Fixtures: equipped with battery systems or capable of cooperating with a central battery, providing emergency lighting in the event of a power failure. They are essential for maintaining safety and evacuation in crisis situations.
- Fixtures with Through Wiring Capability: facilitate installation by eliminating the need for junction boxes and reducing cable usage, resulting in faster installation and lower installation costs.
Features of Explosion-Proof LED Fixtures
ATEX / Ex LED fixtures are characterized by several key features that affect their functionality and safety:
- High resistance to atmospheric conditions and chemicals: thanks to the use of durable materials, such as glass-reinforced polyester (GRP) and UV stabilized polycarbonate, fixtures are resistant to damage and corrosion.
- Modular design and ease of installation: fixtures often have hinge and latch systems, eliminating loose parts during installation and providing quick access to electrical components.
- Energy efficiency and light performance: thanks to the use of modern LED modules, fixtures offer high light efficiency while reducing energy consumption.
Benefits of LED Fixtures for Explosion-Prone Zones
- Safety of use: fixtures meet strict safety standards, minimizing the risk of ignition in explosion-prone Zones.
- Energy savings: modern LED technologies significantly reduce energy consumption compared to traditional light sources.
- Long lifespan: LEDs have a significantly longer lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacements and servicing, ensuring operational continuity, and reducing maintenance costs.
Application
ATEX / Ex LED fixtures are used in a wide range of industrial sectors, including the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, energy industries, as well as in manufacturing plants and warehouses where there is a risk of explosion. They are essential in places where safety and reliability of lighting are a priority.
In summary, choosing the right ATEX / Ex LED fixture is key to ensuring safety and energy efficiency in explosion-prone Zones. Modern technologies and materials used in these fixtures not only guarantee safety but also long-term savings and lighting efficiency.
