Horticutral Lighting
If you work in a potentially explosive or fire-prone environment, such as oil and gas refineries, drilling rigs, food and beverage facilities, or a chemical plant, you know how important it is to have adequate lighting for safety and productivity. And you know the necessity of utilizing explosion-proof lighting fixtures for these hazardous locations. But what happens when there is a power outage or an emergency situation that affects the normal lighting system? How do you ensure workers can exit the area safely and securely?
That’s where our HA05 explosion-proof light with emergency backup comes in handy. HA05 is a special lighting fixture that is designed to operate in harsh and hazardous conditions and provide reliable illumination in case of a power failure. In this post, we will discuss how emergency lighting works and the benefits of explosion-proof lights with battery backup. We also provide some tips for choosing the best hazardous lighting solutions with emergency backup for your specific needs.
How emergency lighting works with explosion-proof light
There are two types of emergency lighting, maintained and non-maintained emergency lighting.
Maintained emergency lighting: this type of emergency lighting is powered by the main electrical supply. When there is a power failure, this light switches to a battery-powered output. Maintained emergency lighting is used for supplying continuous lighting.
Non-maintained emergency lighting: non-maintained emergency lighting fixtures will light up when the lighting system fail due to a power outage. Only the charging function is powered by the main power supply.
Equipped with a built-in backup battery, our HA05 provides 90 minutes of emergency lighting to help keep workers safe and your plant running smoothly. HA05 consists of two main components, explosion-proof lighting fixture and a backup battery. An explosion-proof lighting fixture is specially designed for harsh and hazardous environments. This high bay light can suit most applications where flammable vapors, gases, ignitable dusts, fibers or flying are present. A backup battery stores electrical energy and supplies it to the luminaire when needed. If the power to the fixture is cut, the circuits inside will switch over to the backup battery to provide lighting during an outage. Then the lighting fixture can save workers from the dark.
Benefits of explosion-proof lights with battery backup
It is obvious that hazardous location lighting with emergency backup is beneficial for both workers and operators in hazardous locations. It can keep workers safe as well as save businesses money. Our HA05 has several advantages, as below:
- It provides immediate illumination when there is a power outage or an emergency situation, allowing workers to see clearly and avoid hazards and accidents.
- It has backup battery devices that can last for 90 minutes, giving you enough time to exit the area or restore power.
- It complies with all relevant safety standards and regulations, such as IECEx and ATEX, ensuring that it is explosion-proof and fire-resistant.
- It is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, using LED technology that consumes less power and produces less heat than traditional light sources.
- It can help operators reduce working time or money lost in trying to sort out the situation and ensure smooth operation during a power outage.
- The built-in emergency battery does not need to be set up and proves extremely effective in the case of an emergency.
