When it comes to safety and performance in hazardous areas, lighting plays a critical role. Ex Industries is a global leader in providing Ex-Proof Lighting and explosion proof electrical equipment designed to deliver reliable illumination where standard lighting cannot operate.
Built for hazardous location enclosures, class 1 div 1 and class 1 div 2 zones, and demanding industrial applications, our explosion proof lighting ensures safety, compliance, and efficiency in every corner of your facility.
Understanding Ex-Proof Lighting
Ex-Proof Lighting (Explosion Proof Lighting) refers to specially engineered fixtures that prevent internal sparks or flames from igniting explosive gases, vapors, or dust in surrounding environments.
At Ex Industries, we design ex proof lighting for facilities operating in Ex Zones, ATEX Certified Enclosures, and IECEx-rated locations. Our luminaires are compliant with ATEX 137, EN 50288-7, and UL/CSA standards—making them ideal for oil & gas, petrochemical, marine, and power sectors.
Each fixture is tested to withstand pressure, vibration, corrosion, and temperature extremes, providing unmatched reliability for hazardous area solutions.
Built for Hazardous Locations
Our explosion proof lighting solutions are crafted for environments where explosive gases, combustible dust, or flammable vapors are common. These include:
- Oil & Gas refineries and offshore rigs
- Chemical processing plants
- Mining operations
- Marine terminals
- Power generation stations
- Pharmaceutical facilities
Each light is installed using explosion proof cable glands, thread adapters, and reducers for a completely sealed and certified system. Combined with our explosion proof enclosures manufacturer expertise, we ensure full hazardous area protection from the source to the circuit.
