The KRATEX LED is a flame-resistant and explosion-proof LED tube luminaire specifically engineered for hazardous environments, offering certified safety and reliability in ATEX Zones 1 and 21. Constructed with rugged materials and advanced lighting technology, this luminaire is ideal for areas where explosive atmospheres may occur due to gases, vapors, or combustible dust. It features robust metal end caps and a tubular body available in either UV-resistant polycarbonate (IK10) or 9 mm thick borosilicate glass (IK09), providing exceptional mechanical durability and chemical resistance.
Designed to deliver high-quality, efficient illumination in potentially explosive environments, the Kratex LED offers a Lambertian light distribution pattern for uniform, glare-controlled lighting. It emits a neutral white 4000 K light with a color rendering index (CRI) greater than 80, ensuring clear visibility and color differentiation. The luminaire provides a luminous flux of 2,850 lumens with a connected load of 30 watts, achieving a luminous efficacy of 95 lm/W. Its performance is highly reliable, with a rated service life of 50,000 hours at L80 (tq 55°C) and up to 100,000 hours at L70 (tq 25°C), offering minimal maintenance and long-term energy savings.
The luminaire body includes aluminum alloy end caps in RAL1003 signal yellow and a white powder-coated steel gear tray. Sealing is ensured through durable nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) gaskets. The fixture is rated IP66, ensuring complete protection against dust and powerful water jets. It maintains safe operation in ambient temperatures from 0°C to 50°C and weighs 6.2 kg. The system includes two ¾ inch (NPT) cable entry openings for explosion-proof cable glands, which must be ordered separately, along with the mounting accessories. It supports suspended mounting, with tube-style installation hardware available as an option.
The KRATEX LED is available in two lengths with luminous flux packages ranging from 2,500 to 11,750 lumens, and can be specified with DALI digital dimming, Touch DIM functionality, and BLE control options. It also supports an optional emergency lighting function with single-battery operation for 1 or 3 hours, offering continued visibility and safety during power outages. The luminaire is equipped with a DALI-2 compliant electronic control gear, ensuring compatibility with modern digital lighting systems and providing both switching and dimming capabilities.
Fully compliant with European Union regulations, bearing the CE mark, and built for safety in explosion-risk zones, the KRATEX LED is a trusted solution for applications in refineries, chemical plants, processing facilities, and any area requiring dependable, certified ATEX Zone 1/21 LED lighting. Its durable design, advanced control options, and high luminous performance make it a top-tier choice for hazardous area illumination.
