Explosion Proof Lighting Range Extended With ATEX Zone 1 and Zone 2 Certified Luminaires
Fins board has extended its explosion proof lighting range with luminaires certified for ATEX Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas. The new models target chemical plants, fuel depots, paint shops and oil and gas facilities where ordinary industrial fixtures are not permitted, and they combine flameproof aluminium housings with a tempered glass window rated for impact.
The range is offered in 30W to 200W versions with narrow, medium and wide distributions, allowing a single product family to cover walkways, loading bays, process areas and control rooms. Cable entry uses dual certified brass glands, and the terminal chamber is separated from the light engine so field wiring does not disturb the flameproof path. Ambient rating extends to 55 degrees Celsius, which suits refineries and desert installations.
For maintenance teams the practical gain is access: hinged covers, captive stainless fasteners and a plug in driver module allow inspection inside a permit to work window without removing the luminaire from its bracket. The housing carries an IP66 rating and a corrosion resistant polyester coating tested for salt spray, and every unit is pressure tested before dispatch.
Hazardous area projects also depend on paperwork arriving on time. Each order is accompanied by certification copies, spare part schedules and installation drawings that can be dropped directly into an engineering dossier, and batch records are retained so a plant can trace a specific luminaire back to its pressure test and insulation test results years after commissioning.
