Sharp Eagle has been helping industries for decades! We’ve equipped many industry leaders with security cameras, forklift cameras, and explosion-proof lights all to help companies with their safety protocols. But no security product rates and brings as many benefits as explosion-proof lighting to the fore.
Explosion-proof lights are sophisticated tools for low-light, no-light, or recently damaged or fire-engulfed industrial areas because they are made robustly to endure any situation, but they help the workers find a way out too!
So what are some of the unseen benefits of our explosion-proof lights? Let’s shed a light on those.
General On Explosion-Proof Lighting
Commonly known as EX-lighting, these lighting devices ensure that any sparks are contained within the lights encasing. This means that the lights themselves won’t be the cause of any fire or explosion.
So, why are these explosion-proof lights being used?
If you’re working in an area where there's a risk of explosion you’d want to install explosion proof-lighting. The benefits these lights bring:
Sturdy Design options
Variety
Adherence To Compliance
Unparalleled efficiency and performance
The technology behind SharpEagle's Lights enabled us to ensure high and superior performance in all situations and our lights are ATEX-certified in hazardous Zones of 1 and 2.
Our explosion-proof lights have been ATEX certified. So what is ATEX?
The Atmosphères Explosibles (ATEX) is a certification standard by the European Union that “covers equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres”. According to UL, HazLoc and explosion-proof equipment that is ‘intended for installation’ in the EU region should be compliant with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU.
So, what are some additional benefits of these EX lights?
