Explosion proof lighting is a type of fixture which can be installed in certain harsh working environments with explosive or corrosive particles. These fixtures are thus protected against self explosion when abnormalities happen in such working environments.
Hazardous areas, industrial environments, offshore platforms or within outdoor areas of onshore refineries.

In oil & gas environments, from drill sites to gas processing plants and storage facilities, safety is paramount. With flammable gases and vapors present, implementing Ex Proof Lighting is essential to maintaining a safe and reliable workspace.
Pharmaceutical manufacturing often involves flammable solvents, fine powders, and volatile chemicals, creating a high-risk environment for explosions. Ex Proof Lighting is essential to prevent ignition sources, ensuring a safe, compliant, and reliable workspace.
Power plants and utility facilities operate in high-risk environments where flammable gases, coal dust, and volatile chemicals can create explosion hazards, especially in critical areas such as substations, turbine halls, battery storage rooms, and fuel-handling zones.
Waste and water treatment plants handle methane gas, hydrogen sulfide, and volatile organic compounds, creating a high-risk environment for explosions. Ex Proof Lighting provides long-lasting durability and optimal illumination in key areas such as pumping stations, sludge processing units, and chemical storage zones.
Alcohol production involves flammable vapors, ethanol fumes, and combustible dust, creating a high-risk environment for fires and explosions. Ex Proof Lighting is essential in distilleries, breweries, and beverage manufacturing plants to prevent ignition sources and total loss of inventory.
Explosion-proof lighting or ex proof lighting is specifically designed to prevent ignition of hazardous substances like gases, vapors, or dust in environments where these are present. This is possible because the light fixture is encased in a durable material that can withstand harsh conditions.
Industries such as oil and gas, chemical manufacturing, mining, food processing, and wastewater treatment commonly require ex proof lighting fixtures.
Durable materials like aluminum, stainless steel, and tempered glass are commonly used to withstand extreme conditions. In addition, we offer a linear led strip that encases the light in a durable silicone.
The lifespan of the ex proof lighting fixture depends on the led light source and usage conditions, but high-quality LED models can last 50,000+ hours.
Consider factors such as hazardous location classification, light intensity, mounting options, and environmental conditions to select the appropriate fixture.
Classes
Divisions
Within the classifications, two divisions are recognized based on the amount of hazardous material.
Certifications vary by region, including ATEX (EU), IECEx (international), UL (US), and CSA (Canada), ensuring compliance with safety standards.
