Hazardous area LED strip light specialist and largest trading partner of x-Glo Lighting, Mineglow, has launched what is says are the world’s first IECEx certified explosive proof LED strip lights in Oceania. Reducing the risk of explosions in gas and oil rigs, coal mines and other industrial applications, the x-Glo IECEx range is purpose built for environments where fire or explosion hazards exist due to flammable gases or explosive substances such as vapours, mists or dusts.
The world-first LED strip light solution provides a high level of protection by encapsulating electrical ignitions inside the light. Mineglow General Manager, Carinne Pater said the IECEx certified lighting improves health and safety by protecting workers from the risk of accidental ignitions of flammable or explosive materials. “The best way to prevent explosions in high-risk industrial areas is to remove potential ignition sources,” Pater said. “Lights are one of the most common causes of explosion ignition. Our solution minimises risk by isolating and containing sparks within the strip to prevent explosions from escaping and potentially igniting the gases and particles in the atmosphere.”
He adds: “The low-profile of our lighting solution also means that they can’t be knocked and shatter. This greatly minimises the risk of an explosive reaction from spreading or igniting volatile substances in the area, so in terms of health and safety – the benefits are significant.”
The x-Glo explosive-proof LED solution is IECEx, ATEX and ROHS approved and certified for gas zones one and two, and dust zones twenty-one and twenty-two.The light s are fully encapsulated with silicone, making them resistant to dust, humidity, chemicals and extreme environmental temperatures without enabling the risk of an explosion. Pater said the LED-strip design offers considerable benefits over conventional lighting and other explosive proof products through its flexibility, efficiency, durability and ease of deployment. The x-Glo products are manufactured in Shenzhen, China by market leaders in LED technology.
