Explosion-Proof Lighting: the Right Lighting for Every Ex Zone
Agnes Beersmans

Proper lighting is essential in any industrial environment. In hazardous areas with a risk of explosion, there is an additional requirement: the lighting must be matched to the specific Ex zone and the conditions of the application.


With explosion-proof luminaires from brands such as SCHUCH, PETREL, and PAPENMEIER, Ysebaert offers lighting solutions for a wide range of applications in hazardous environments. The range includes solutions for both gas and dust explosion-risk areas (Zone 1/21 and Zone 2/22).


From Functional Lighting to High-Power Floodlights

Not every Ex environment has the same lighting requirements. A production area or technical installation, for example, requires a different solution than a large warehouse, industrial hall, or outdoor installation.


SCHUCH therefore offers various types of explosion-proof LED lighting. In addition to traditional linear luminaires, the portfolio also includes robust floodlights and high-bay lighting solutions. For Zone 2/22 applications, SCHUCH is currently highlighting solutions designed for larger areas and industrial halls.


Selecting the right luminaire depends on more than just the zone classification. Required light output, mounting height, ambient temperature, and site-specific conditions must also be taken into account.
