Explosion Proof Lighting

Veilux explosion-proof LED lighting systems deliver certified illumination for the most demanding hazardous area installations — oil and gas refineries, offshore platforms, chemical processing plants, mining operations, and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities. Every fixture carries UL/cUL Class I Division 1 and Division 2, and ATEX/IECEx Zone 1 and Zone 2 certifications, verified by independent third-party testing laboratories.

LED vs. HID: Why Facilities Are Switching
Legacy HID (metal halide, high-pressure sodium) fixtures in hazardous areas require lamp replacements every 12,000–20,000 hours and can fail to restrike after momentary power interruptions — a significant operational risk in process areas. Veilux explosion-proof LED fixtures offer 100,000-hour rated service life, instant-on capability, and zero lamp replacement cost. A single 50W LED high bay replaces a 150W HID fixture with equivalent photometric output, reducing energy consumption by 65–70%.
