Basic Info
R.STAHL explosion-proof high mast lights are specialized equipment for use in potentially explosive atmospheres(e.g.,petroleum refining,gas processing,chemical storage areas).Their core value lies in isolating internal components capable of producing sparks,arcs,or high temperatures from the external hazardous environment through special construction,preventing them from becoming an ignition source.This is mandatory equipment for ensuring safety in high-risk areas.
Customer reviews
Thomas Jensen · Chain Supermarket Property Director
After installing high mast lights in our large parking lot,surveillance footage clarity improved noticeably,strengthening security for vehicles and pedestrians.The even,shadow-free lighting has received positive customer feedback for feeling safer at night.The well-designed pole height and angle effectively prevent light intrusion into surrounding residential buildings.
Michael Brown · Petrochemical Park Safety Director
The explosion-proof high mast lights for oil & gas fully comply with ATEX Zone 2 standards. Their specialized heat dissipation and flameproof joint designs eliminate ignition risk. Internal components remain dry after routine high-pressure washing, and the anti-corrosion coating is intact in the corrosive atmosphere.
Mohammed Ali · Large Logistics Center Operations Manager
The high mast lights in the logistics center parking and aisels are highly reliable.Paired with motion sensors for'light-on-approach,dim-on-departure'operation,energy savings are substantial.The high CRI lighting facilitates nighttime goods sorting and verification.The rugged construction withstands daily impacts with minimal maintenance required.
Product Description
Features
Utilizes combined explosion protection techniques like flameproof(Ex d)and increased safety(Ex e).The luminaire housing is extremely robust to withstand internal explosions without igniting the external atmosphere.All joint surfaces(e.g.,between cover and body)have precisely engineered flame paths(gaps and lengths).Cable entries use certified Ex cable glands.Heat dissipation is managed via carefully designed fins to ensure surface temperature stays below the marked temperature class(T-class).

Specifications
Selection must strictly follow the hazardous area classification(Zone 0/1/2),explosive gas type(IIC,IIB,IIA),and auto-ignition temperature of the installation site.All materials should resist chemical corrosion.Maintenance and lamp replacement require special tools and trained personnel.They usually lack built-in lowering mechanisms,requiring Ex-rated mobile platforms for maintenance.

Applications
Used in oil refineries,offshore platforms,LNG terminals,chemical tank farms,paint spray booths,and other locations classified as hazardous areas.Installation locations and quantities must be determined by professional safety assessment.Lighting must meet visual task requirements within the hazardous zone.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q:How to determine the required explosion-proof rating and protection category?
A:Based on the explosive gas types(e.g.,IIA,IIB,IIC)and ignition temperature groups(T1-T6)present,along with the hazardous area classification(Zone 0,1,2),select products with matching protection types(Ex d/e/m,etc.)and ratings.
Q:What special explosion-proof designs exist for luminaire housing materials and structure?
A:Housings use impact-resistant,corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy or stainless steel.Joints are precisely machined flameproof surfaces with sufficient length and gap to contain internal explosions.
Q:What are the requirements for cable entry devices in hazardous areas?
A:Must use certified cable gland sealing and clamping devices to ensure sealing between cable and entry point,preventing explosion transmission,often using rubber gaskets or multi-layer seals.
Q:How is routine maintenance performed without compromising explosion-proof safety?
A:Must disconnect power before servicing.Qualified personnel must follow procedures,ensuring flameproof surfaces are clean/sealed and gaskets intact.Use only OEM-specified lamps during replacement.
Q:What additional protection is needed in environments with corrosive gases like H2S?
A:Beyond explosion-proof requirements,select special H2S-resistant materials(e.g.,specific stainless steel grades),increase housing IP rating(e.g.,IP66),and apply additional anti-corrosion treatment to key parts.
Q:What is special about grounding requirements for explosion-proof high masts?
A:Requires a reliable dedicated grounding system with resistance≤4Ω.All conductive parts(housing,pole,cable armor)must be equipotentially bonded to prevent static buildup and leakage sparks.
