Fail-Safe Lighting for Volatile Environments
The Risks of Inadequate Lighting
Standard lighting fixtures can generate sparks or surface heat capable of igniting flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts, leading to catastrophic explosions.
Offshore rigs and chemical plants expose fixtures to salt spray and acidic vapors that rapidly destroy unprotected aluminum housings.
Changing a failed light in a hazardous zone requires 'Hot Work Permits' and costly plant shutdowns to ensure safety.
Engineered to Contain the Explosion
Safety guaranteed. Our fixtures feature flameproof enclosures (Ex d) capable of containing any internal explosion without igniting the external atmosphere. Reinforced with high-impact tempered glass and heavy-duty seals.
Keep it cool. Our copper-free aluminum heat sinks ensure the surface temperature remains well below the ignition point of gases (Rated T5/T6), even in high ambient temperatures up to +55°C.
Built for the sea. We use Copper-Free Aluminum Alloy with a specialized epoxy powder coating to resist salt corrosion, making our lights ideal for offshore platforms and coastal refineries.

Understanding Hazardous Zones
Understanding Hazardous Zones
Hazardous zones are classified to define areas where flammable gases, vapors, dusts, or fibers may be present and pose a risk of fire or explosion. These zones are determined by the frequency, duration, and likelihood of explosive atmospheres occurring during normal operation or abnormal conditions. Proper zone classification is essential for selecting lighting and electrical equipment that can operate safely without becoming an ignition source.
Understanding hazardous zones allows facility operators to apply the correct level of protection, whether for Zone 0/1/2 gas environments or Zone 20/21/22 dust applications. Each zone requires specifically certified fixtures designed to control surface temperature, prevent sparking, and contain internal faults. By correctly matching the luminaire to the risk level, facilities can maintain safety, regulatory compliance, and reliable operation in hazardous environments.
We help you select the right fixture for your specific risk level.
