Oil and chemical industries have high concentrations of combustible particles in the air that can cause explosions at the slightest of casualties. Such high-risk environments require special equipment that is highly functional and does not cause ignition or spark.
Explosion-proof lighting for hazardous areas can help workers operate smoothly at all times, and there are minimized risks of explosions due to lights. With government agencies trying to implement safer protocols across industries, company managers are taking all necessary precautions to make industrial workplaces safer.
This article will help you with eight types of explosion-proof lights you can incorporate in industrial workplaces according to your requirement. We will understand the specific uses of these lights and how they can offer safer functionality.
Before we begin, let’s look at what we understand by explosion-proof lights.
Explosion-Proof Lights are specially designed to contain sparks from emitting outside the light and mixing in with the explosive atmosphere in industrial areas. These lights do not fall under lightning equipment that can sustain explosions, but rather, these lights can prevent explosions from occurring in high-risk industrial regions.
Additionally, these lights are made with highly durable materials to endure high temperatures and not get cracked or damaged easily.
Now that we have a clear understanding of explosion-proof lights let’s look at the eight types of explosion-proof lights and their uses.
The Explosion-Proof LED Lights are ideal for industrial areas with harsh and rugged conditions. These lights are equipped with high-quality LED lights that emit instant, crisp white light. It comes with an isolated LED compartment, complemented by cooling fins that keeps the temperature in control, eliminating heat when the light is on.
This feature looks into the product’s longevity, ensuring that it does not get damaged by overheating. Overheating issues can also lead to sparks or combustion in worse cases. Hence, the product is designed for efficient heat dissipation and smooth functionality.
These lights have high-efficiency drivers and LEDs that provide cost-effective operations in industrial applications and are ideal for Zone 1&2, Zone 21& 22.
The Explosion-Proof Flashlight comes with a polished appearance and is covered with aluminium housing that enables the product to limit sparks from coming in contact with an explosive atmosphere. Extremely useful for industrial applications and highly durable, these lights are equipped with high-power LED for crystal-clear vision.
Oil and chemical industries have machinery that needs to be checked from time to time. This is facilitated by explosion-proof flashlights that provide enhanced visibility to check all the nooks and corners of the machines.
The flashlight has a lithium-ion battery and a low discharge rate, which adds to the flashlight’s long life and stable performance. The explosion-proof flashlight is lightweight and compact, which makes it easy to carry, and it can be adjusted into three stroboscopic modes according to requirement.
Highly useful and easy to move, Explosion-Proof Work Lights are attached with movable wheels below the device and can be moved from one place to another. These lights are also highly durable due to aluminium die-casting on the outside and have a polished finish with epoxy coating.
Ideal for Zone 1&2, and Zone 21&22, these lights are adjustable up to360-degree and provide enhanced illumination. The system has a manual valve to control the lift and can be adjusted easily for easier operation. Light weight, robust, explosion-proof work lights are easy to carry and ideal for explosive environments.
Explosion-Proof Linear Lights are highly useful in chemical industries as they provide the main lighting source in work stations. Oil and chemical industries require specially equipped lights that will prevent sparks from causing ignition and can contain any form of combustion inside the light.
Explosion-proof linear lights are encapsulated in an aluminium shell with a high-voltage electrostatic plastic-spray surface to ensure maximized safety. The tube can be changed simply by removing the end cover. The wiring of these lights is made with steel for increased durability against flammable particles, and the product is ideal for usage in Zone 1, 2, 21& 22.
Strongly built and an improved model of the explosion-proof linear lights, the Explosion-Proof LED Linear Lights are made of copper-free aluminium and come with a powder-coated surface. These lights have a sharp whiter output. It has built-in LED drivers with a power factor of 0.95.
The main surface area of these LED linear lights is treated with anodic oxidation for greater durability. Designed for functioning in Zone 2, Zone 21 & 22,these explosion-proof LED linear lights provide crystal-sharp lightning to help workers work efficiently and foster a safer workplace environment.
Industrial lights are usually of a high voltage, which causes a lot of strain on the eyes. Explosion Proof HID Lights have a unique design and an anti-glare glass cover to protect the eyes completely. The outer framework of these lights is cast with aluminium and has a fine epoxy-sprayed surface, making it look elegant and polished.
The power supply and the light source cavity in these lights are integrated by a special connection and have a diffuse reflection mechanism that softens the light and maximizes its reach at a wider angle.
Power outage is not a common phenomenon in industries, but they might happen if there is a short circuit or outage. The Explosion-Proof Emergency Light can be used as an emergency light when power fails. These lights can charge automatically whenever it receives a power supply and hold the charge until it is used in a power failure.
The lights in explosion-proof emergency lights can be adjusted by 270 degrees, and the product comes with a maintenance-free battery pack. Easy to install and ideal for usage in Zone 1, 2, 21 & 22, the product is also equipped with an explosion-proof buzzer that sends reminders every 1-3s if the device runs out of charge.
This way, workers can ensure that the product stays fully charged and turns on incase of power failures.
With a guaranteed service of up to 5000 hours, the Explosion-Proof Exit Sign is highly durable and ideal for industries and warehouses. It has an aluminium body with epoxy coating on the surface, making the product resistant to corrosion and can limit sparks from emitting outside.
This explosion-proof light for hazardous areas also comes with an explosion-proof buzzer which reminds the user of any faults in the system. Equipped with the main power indicator, failure, and charging indicator, the explosion-proof exit sign is ideal for Zone 1,2, 21& 22. It has an ultra-bright LED light source for proper visibility.
Workplaces require the best equipment to ensure maximum safety. The efficiency of this equipment cannot be compromised and must be aligned with industry standards to provide high functionality. SharpEagle has curated these explosion-proof lights keeping the safety of the workers and the company’s bottom line in mind.
If you are looking forward to safe-proofing your workplace with state-of-the-art tools, SharpEagle’s wide range of explosion-proof lights will help you easily establish a safer work zone.
