Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between ATEX and Class/Division systems?

ATEX is the European directive for equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres, which uses a ‘Zone’ classification system (e.g., Zone 1 for high-risk gas/vapor areas). The Class/Division system is primarily used in North America, classifying areas by the type of hazardous substance (Class) and its presence under normal or abnormal conditions (Division). James Industry lights are often dual-certified, making them suitable for global deployment.

How do I choose the right James Industry series for my facility?

The correct series depends on your facility’s specific hazardous area classification (Zone or Class/Division), the required brightness (lumens), mounting options, and ambient temperature. For example, the C-Series is certified for high-risk Class I, Division 1 areas, while the A-Series is suitable for Class I, Division 2 locations and offers high efficacy where energy efficiency is a priority. Our technical specialists can help you assess your needs and select the perfect model.

Are these LED lights more durable than traditional explosion-proof lights?

Yes. James Industry LED lights offer significant durability advantages. Their solid-state design provides high vibration resistance, and the IK10 rating ensures they can withstand severe impacts. Combined with lifespans often exceeding 50,000 hours, they reduce maintenance cycles and replacement costs compared to traditional HID or fluorescent fixtures.
