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. 

And they come in various models and types! 

The Standard Our Explosion Proof Lights Follow

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? 

Added Benefits Of Explosion-Proof Lighting

They are cost-effective

Our lights are sturdy and built to last! This means that the high standards we follow will guarantee that you won’t be spending that much on maintenance and they save you money even in operating costs of things! 

They are Eco-Friendly

Our lights don’t contain any harmful substances like mercury or lead, meaning they aren’t harmful to the environment! Our lights are LED lights which means that you will not only be saving your company money on electric bills, but you’ll also be environmentally friendly in this regard as well. 

They Aren’t Easily Broken

Sharp Eagle’s LED explosion-proof lights are made of highly durable materials that enable our lights to endure all kinds of weather extremes, from colds to heat. They won’t be easily broken by shock and mechanical blows either! 

Huge Lifespan

Our ex-proof lights have a huge lifespan of over 50000 hours, meaning you won’t have to change these lights as often as some other industrial options. The casing ensures that lights are kept in optimal working condition for the entire lifespan of the LEDs inside! 

Comfortable Working In Any Condition

And we mean any condition! All of our explosion-proof lighting options are certified and comfortable working under at least IP66 and IP68 conditions. This means that our lights are comfortable working in dusty areas with lots of particles flying around and underwater too!

Conclusion

Lighting is very important for uninterrupted work in facilities of any given industry! And this is especially true for hazardous areas. The Best Explosion-Proof Lights can be found here at Sharp Eagle, as they’ve been ATEX certified, so you can be sure they’ll work in the most dangerous of situations. 

Frequently Asked Questions

‍ 1. What are the benefits of explosion-proof lightingbeyond safety?

Explosion-proof lighting not only prevents ignition risksbut also improves energy efficiency, durability, and overall operationalperformance. Modern LED explosion-proof fixtures reduce power consumption,require less maintenance, and provide better illumination quality. This resultsin lower long-term costs and improved workplace productivity.

 

2. How does explosion-proof LED lighting reducemaintenance costs?

Explosion-proof LED lights have a much longer lifespancompared to traditional lighting systems.
