Lighting Solutions by Application

Pick the application, not the catalogue. Ten guides in two families: solar lighting where the grid is far or absent, and ATEX explosion-proof lighting where a flammable gas or a combustible dust is present. Each page gives the rules we actually use, from worst-month sun hours to zone drawings and temperature classes, plus the standards each market audits and the series that fits. Every guide ends with a project, a photometric study or a document pack, not with a catalogue page.

Solar by application

Explosion-proof by facility

Food industry (ATEX)

Flour, sugar and starch dust, layer ignition temperature and a fixture that can be washed: three constraints, one luminaire.

ATEX Lighting for the Food Industry

How these guides are put together

Each page starts from the condition that breaks the project, not from the product: the rainy season for a municipality, UV and dust for a mine, salt spray for a port, the zone drawing for a refinery, the dust layer for a food plant. The sizing tables are the ones we use in quotations, and the standards named are the ones a buyer will be audited against in that market.

The two families are not interchangeable, and we say so on the page. A solar all-in-one luminaire is not certified for a hazardous area, and a Zone 1 fixture is the wrong purchase for a rural road with no grid: the first is a power system, the second is a safety device.

Where the answer is no, the page says no. A highway with continuous night traffic and heavy snow is a grid project; a shop inside a fuel station does not need an explosion-proof fixture. Pretending otherwise costs the buyer a year or a needless invoice.

Not sure which application you are in?

Send the site conditions, the zone drawing or the coordinates and we will tell you which guide applies, and which model. If the answer is not ours to sell, we will say that too.
