Spray booth light fittings ATEX / Ex
The ATEX / Ex spray booth light fitting is a specialized lighting device designed for safe use in explosive environments. Spray booths are characterized by high concentrations of flammable paint vapors and solvents or explosive dust, which requires the use of lighting that does not pose a risk of igniting these substances.
ATEX / Ex light fittings for spray booths are designed with the aim of providing high-quality lighting, which is crucial for the accuracy of painting processes. They provide uniform and strong light, enabling precise application of paints and varnishes, as well as accurate detection of imperfections. Available lighting technologies, such as LED, offer not only safety but also energy efficiency and long service life, which translates into reduced operating and maintenance costs.

How to Choose a Lighting Fixture for a Paint Booth
Choosing the right light fitting for a spray booth requires considering specific safety requirements, including ATEX / Ex certification, which is crucial in explosive environments such as Zones 21, 22, and 2. Lighting fixtures and emergency lights that meet these standards are essential to not only provide proper working conditions but also ensure the safety of workers and protection against potential explosion risks.
Types of Fixtures for Explosion Hazard Zones
Ex Lighting Fixtures: designed for continuous illumination, offering high light output with low energy consumption. Ideal for use as the primary light source in spray booths.
Ex Emergency Fixtures with Battery: provide lighting in case of power failure, which is essential for safe evacuation and continuation of work in critical situations.
Ex Emergency Fixtures for Central Battery: similar to battery-powered fixtures, but powered from a central battery, which facilitates the management of the emergency lighting system in larger facilities.
Features of OptiLine Fixtures for Paint Booths
High efficiency and energy saving: modern LED modules provide excellent lighting with significant energy consumption reduction.
- Safe Installation and Use: the absence of loose parts and thoughtful design prevent accidental damage to fixtures during installation or operation.
- Adaptability: easy to adapt to various working conditions thanks to different mounting options, lenses, and LED modules.
Advantages of OptiLine Fixtures
- Safety: meeting ATEX / Ex standards ensures that fixtures can be safely used in explosive hazard Zones.
- Durability: fixtures are designed to operate under tough conditions, ensuring their long lifespan even in demanding environments like paint booths.
- High Quality of Lighting: even distribution of light is key for precision painting work, and modern LED technologies offer excellent light quality.
Requirements for Paint Booth Fixtures from an Explosive Safety Perspective
These light fittings must meet strict safety standards set by the ATEX (Atmosphères Explosibles) directive in the European Union or international equivalents for Ex equipment, meaning their ability to operate in potentially explosive atmospheres without the risk of sparking or excessive heat. The design of these light fittings includes the use of materials resistant to corrosion and mechanical damage, hermetic enclosures, and special lighting technologies that minimize heat generation and eliminate the possibility of sparking.
Application in Paint Booths
ATEX / Ex light fittings for spray booths are essential in any place where painting work is carried out in the presence of flammable substances or potentially explosive atmospheres. These include not only paint booths but also other industrial spaces where safe and efficient lighting is required.
In summary, choosing the right light fittings for an ATEX / Ex spray booth is crucial for ensuring safety and work efficiency. Modern technologies, such as LED, offer excellent solutions that meet the highest safety standards and are environmentally friendly due to reduced energy consumption.
