Explosion Proof High Bay Lights Released For Oil Gas And Heavy Process Buildings

Explosion Proof High Bay Lights Released For Oil Gas And Heavy Process Buildings

Fins board has released explosion proof high bay lights for oil and gas process buildings, compressor halls, paint booths and heavy industrial workshops with high ceilings. The fixtures combine a flameproof housing with a high bay optic, so tall buildings in hazardous areas can be lit without the lamp replacement cycle that metal halide hazardous fixtures impose.

The range covers 40W to 200W in narrow, medium and wide beams, with luminous efficacy up to 150 lumens per watt. Choosing LED matters more in hazardous areas than elsewhere: lamp replacement inside a Zone 1 building requires a permit, isolation and often a standby person, so a 50000 hour rated fixture removes dozens of planned interventions across a twenty year service life.

Construction uses a copper free aluminium alloy with a polyester coating, tempered glass, A2 stainless fasteners and dual certified brass cable glands. The terminal chamber is isolated from the optical chamber, and the plug in driver module can be replaced using certified spares without recertification of the fixture. Ambient rating extends to 55 degrees Celsius for compressor halls and roof spaces.

Plant reliability teams also value the reduction in planned interventions. A 50000 hour rated high bay removes dozens of lamp and ballast replacements across a twenty year life, and each of those interventions inside a hazardous area carries permit, isolation and standby person costs that usually exceed the fixture price. That calculation, rather than energy alone, often drives the decision to convert a process building to LED.

High Bay Hazardous Specification

Buildings Served

• Compressor and pump halls
• Paint and coating booths
• Solvent storage and mixing rooms
• Gas processing and metering buildings
• Heavy fabrication shops with dust risk

Certification documentation, photometric files and maintenance schedules support engineering contractors and plant reliability teams. Each order is pressure tested and traceable by batch, with certified driver modules available as service parts.

About the manufacturer: Fins board and BOCAQ branded lighting products are produced in Guangdong, China, by a team focused on outdoor and hazardous area luminaires for contractors, distributors and engineering firms. The company supports projects with measured photometric files, structural load data, certification documentation and spare part programmes, and it exports across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia through a distributor and project channel model.
