Explosion protected LED light fittings

The TX60 range of LED light fittings are specifically designed to enable rapid, easy replacement of existing T8 fluorescent light fittings without requiring any additional design or installation changes. The LED system with new advanced IC driver technology provides the TX60 with an operating life of 100,000 hours at Ta +45°C, with no system lifetime limitations from the driver.

As there is no need for any lamp, ballast or driver replacements, the TX60 LED light fittings are fully sealed, virtually maintenance-free units. With its modular design, an IP66/67 Ex e enclosure and an IP66 Ex m LED, the TX60 is designed for harsh environments. The combination of LED technology, heat sink and limited sealing gasket length means that ingress of water and moisture to the light fitting (which can result in earth faults) is eliminated.

In addition, unlike T8 fluorescent light fittings, the TX60 does not require any tube disposal/recycling systems, or tube/lamp storage areas (which can be a problem in the case of an offshore oil & gas installation where space is limited). Consequently, the TX60 LED adds reliability and minimises costly maintenance and servicing of lighting in hazardous areas.

As well as being maintenance-free over 100,000 hours, the TX60 also reduces energy costs, providing 30% energy savings compared to conventional T8 HF fluorescent lamps.

The TX60 LED light fitting fulfils the requirements of good lighting practice and a safe working environment by providing a colour rendering (CRI) of 80 or higher and a glare ratio (UGR) of less than 22.
