KIRA EX lamps product comparison

Specially developed hand lamps, tube lamps and work lamps that meet the requirements of potentially explosive environments are referred to as explosion-proof lamps.The term "explosive" is derived from the Latin abbreviation for "explosio" (explosion) and refers to devices designed to minimize the risk of explosions in hazardous atmospheric conditions. These hand lamps meet specific safety standards and certifications to be used in environments where flammable gases, vapors, mists or dusts may be present. Our selection of explosion-proof luminaires not only offers the highest level of safety, but also innovative technologies to ensure efficient lighting in demanding environments. We place particular emphasis on ensuring our products meet the strictest industry standards so you can rely on reliable lighting solutions, even in the most challenging conditions.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about ex-proof lighting

What does explosion protection in lighting mean?

Explosion protection refers to measures that prevent luminaires from acting as an ignition source in hazardous areas. This includes design, electrical, and thermal safety requirements.

What is an Ex luminaire?

An Ex luminaire is specifically designed and certified to be safely operated in hazardous areas without generating sparks, hot surfaces, or electrical discharges.

What does ATEX mean?

ATEX stands for “Atmosphères Explosibles” and refers to EU directives regulating equipment and protective systems used in potentially explosive atmospheres.

What zones exist in explosion protection?

A distinction is made between gas (0–2) and dust (20–22):

• Zone 0 / 20: continuously or frequently explosive atmosphere
• Zone 1 / 21: occasionally
• Zone 2 / 22: rarely and for short periods

What ignition sources can originate from luminaires?

Typical ignition sources include hot surfaces, electrical sparks, electrostatic discharges, and arcs.

What does the “Ex” marking on a luminaire mean?

The “Ex” marking indicates that the luminaire has been tested and approved according to international standards for use in hazardous areas.

What is the temperature class for Ex luminaires?

The temperature class specifies the maximum surface temperature of a luminaire (e.g., T1 to T6). This must always be below the ignition temperature of the surrounding medium.

What types of protection exist for Ex luminaires?

Typical protection types include:
• Ex d (flameproof enclosure)
• Ex e (increased safety)
• Ex i (intrinsic safety)
• Ex n (non-sparking)

Where are explosion-protected luminaires used?

Typical applications include the chemical industry, oil and gas industry, food industry (due to dust explosions), paint shops, as well as mills and silos.

What is the difference between gas and dust explosion protection?

Gas explosion protection concerns flammable gases/vapors, while dust explosion protection deals with combustible dusts. Requirements differ mainly in sealing and permissible surface temperature.

Which standards apply to Ex luminaires?

Key standards include the IEC/EN 60079 series and the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU.

What does the IP rating mean for Ex luminaires?

The IP rating (e.g., IP66) indicates how well the luminaire is protected against the ingress of dust and water—this is independent of explosion protection requirements.

Why is LED technology advantageous in hazardous areas?

LEDs generate significantly less heat, are vibration-resistant, have a longer service life, and reduce maintenance effort—especially important in hard-to-access hazardous zones.

What must be considered when installing Ex luminaires?

Installation may only be carried out by trained personnel. Zone classification must be strictly observed, and only approved components such as special cables and fittings may be used.

Can standard luminaires be used in hazardous areas?

No. Standard luminaires pose a high ignition risk, are dangerous, and are strictly prohibited by law in hazardous areas.

What is intrinsically safe lighting?

Intrinsic safety (Ex i) means that the electrical energy in the circuit is limited so that even in the event of a fault, no sparks or thermal effects capable of causing ignition can occur.

How is maintenance of Ex luminaires carried out?

Through regular visual inspections, careful checking of seals and housings, and replacement of components only with original parts.

How much does an Ex luminaire cost?

Costs are higher than for standard luminaires due to complex materials, specialized design methods, and extensive certification and testing processes.

How do I identify the right Ex luminaire for my application?

Key selection criteria include the defined zone, gas or dust classification, required temperature class, and the general environmental conditions on site.

What are common mistakes in Ex lighting?

Frequent errors include incorrect zone classification, unsuitable luminaire selection for the existing medium, improper installation, or neglected maintenance.
