ATEX Floodlights – Raytec SPARTAN Hazardous Area Lighting Floodlight Launched
Published 12 Jun 2019
Raytec SPARTAN ATEX floodlights for hazardous area lighting.
Raytec SPARTAN ATEX Floodlights: Hazardous Area LED Lighting
Raytec introduced the SPARTAN range of ATEX and IECEx LED floodlights to provide lighting for potentially explosive atmospheres. The range focuses on lighting performance, serviceability and reliability in demanding industrial environments.
As a specialist in Raytec lighting solutions, the manufacturer developed SPARTAN to help simplify maintenance and reduce the disruption associated with servicing hazardous area lighting systems.
The original 2019 announcement highlighted a modular design, interchangeable components and a maximum light output of 10,000 lumens. Check the current datasheet for available models and specifications.
Modular Design for Easier Maintenance
Hazardous area lighting can be difficult to access, particularly on offshore installations, process plants and remote industrial sites. Maintenance teams need equipment that supports efficient inspection and replacement.
The original SPARTAN range featured removable and interchangeable power supply unit (PSU) and LED modules. This design allows technicians to access key components and replace them when necessary, subject to the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.
The original product information also described a remote PSU installation option, with the PSU positioned up to 100 metres from the light fitting. Confirm the permitted distance and configuration for the specific model before installation.

Raytec SPARTAN LED Floodlight Performance
The original SPARTAN announcement highlighted the following design and performance features:
- LED lighting output: The original range offered light output up to 10,000 lumens.
- Power consumption: The original information cited a maximum power requirement of 136W for the specified floodlight configuration.
- Thermal management: Raytec’s CoolXtrude™ system manages heat generated by the LED modules.
- Long service life: The 2019 announcement referred to an operational life of more than 10 years. Actual life depends on operating conditions and the applicable product specification.
- Wide operating temperature range: The original article stated a range of -52°C to +55°C.
- Temperature classification: The article referenced T6 suitability for specified environments. Confirm the exact temperature class for the selected model and ambient conditions.
The article also reported improved heat dissipation compared with other LED fittings. Treat this as a historical manufacturer claim and check current technical documentation before using it for product comparisons.
ATEX and IECEx Certification for Hazardous Areas
Equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres must suit the area’s classification and the conditions in which it operates.
The original announcement described SPARTAN as ATEX compliant and IECEx certified for specified Zone 1 and Zone 2 applications. It also listed a marine-grade aluminium enclosure, toughened front glass and IP66/IP67 ingress protection.
Before specifying a floodlight, verify the current certificate and datasheet for the exact model, including:
- Permitted hazardous area zone and gas or dust classification.
- Equipment protection level and temperature class.
- Permitted ambient temperature range.
- Ingress protection rating.
- Emergency lighting options, where required.
- Warranty terms and maintenance requirements.
