Ex-Proof Luminaires
Ex-proof luminaires are lighting luminaires designed so they will not create an ignition source in explosive environments where flammable gas, vapor or dust may be present, and certified for that purpose. They are used in places with a hazardous area classification, such as fuel and LPG facilities, paint and chemical warehouses, refineries, flour mills and silos. This category includes MAS brand ex-proof LED luminaires in 20 W, 40 W, 60 W and 80 W powers, with IP65 rating and ABS/PC housings; the product pages state only Zone 2 as the manufacturer's catalog declaration. Compare the equipment category, gas or dust group and temperature class in the luminaire's Ex marking with the zone classification in your facility's explosion protection document; then determine the luminaire power and length according to the location. Verify the certificate number and the full marking from the manufacturer's document before ordering. IP65 only indicates protection against dust and water ingress; therefore a standard tri-proof luminaire with an IP65 rating does not replace an ex-proof luminaire.
