Working with the wrong kind of lighting can be just as dangerous as working with no lighting at all. If you work in explosive atmosphere then you can easily be putting yourself in danger if you use the wrong kind of light. Consequently, It is important to have a source of light that you can reply on and be confident in its abilities.

We always mentioned one concept when we talking about Explosion Proof Lighting-ATEX

So the question is coming:

What is ATEX lighting?

ATEX is “ATmosphere Explosive”

ATEX is the name commonly given to the two European Directives for controlling explosive atmosphere.

The ATEX Zones for lighting products are designed either Zone 1 or Zone 2 depending on the exposure threat to flammable gases or vapour --- accordingly these hazardous area lighting systems must be correctly specified according to the level of explosion, Classifying hazardous areas into Zones.

Zone 1: is a hazardous area classified by ATEX in which an explosive atmosphere consisting of a mixture with air of flammable substances in the form of gas, vapour or mist is likely to occur in normal operation occasionally .

Zone 2: is a hazardous area classified by ATEX in which an explosive atmosphere consisting of a mixture with air of flammable substances in the form of gas, vapour or mist is not likely to occur in normal operation but, if it does occur,persists for a short period only.
