Products Ex lamps: Revised range sets safety standard

Jun 3, 2024

New range of battery and rechargeable battery lamps, headlamps and helmet lamps for Ex areas

These lights are designed to minimise the risk of an explosion caused by the presence of a flammable mixture and sparks, thus ensuring a high level of safety.

What is meant by explosion protection?

Explosion protection aims to minimise the risk of explosions in hazardous environments by controlling or eliminating potential ignition sources. This is achieved by special devices and installations that prevent flammable gas or dust mixtures from catching fire. For areas with a high risk of explosion, such as chemical plants or mines, such measures are essential to ensure the safety of people and equipment.

Area in which explosive gas mixtures occur continuously, for long periods or frequently.

Zone 1 - Medium hazard

Area in which explosive gas mixtures occur occasionally during normal operation.

Zone 2 - Lowest hazard

Area in which explosive gas mixtures do not normally occur or occur only briefly.

Explosion protection dust
