ATEX Lighting Design | Offshore Rig Lifeboat Drop

Published 05 May 2022

Sample Application

Installation: Spartan Flood WL

Project Description: This is a sample showing an Offshore Rig Lifeboat Drop are (ATEX) application using Spartan Flood White-Light.

Products Used: 24 WL – SPX-FL24-W (72W)

The Spartan range is the smartest, most efficient and most maintenance friendly solution for Hazardous Area environments.

Crucial measurements of the area and mounting heights of luminaires must be communicated in writing along with special site conditions, if any.
All specification changes must be communicated to Raytec in order for the design to be modified appropriately.

A Maintenance factor of 0.85 is generally used in our calculations and is in accordance with European standards e.g. EN12464 and CIE 154:2003 guidelines.

The following values are based on exact calculations on calibrated lamps, luminaires and their arrangement. In practice, gradual divergences can
occur.

Guarantee claims for luminaire data are excluded.

Relux and the luminaire manufacturers accept no liability for consequential damage and damage which is occasioned to the user or to third parties.

HAZARDOUS AREA LIGHTING DesiGn Services

ATEX lighting design is an essential part of specifying lighting for any onshore or offshore location.

For specifiers going through the initial design process, a lighting design will provide peace of mind that the final solution will achieve the required, on-site lighting goal, with no surprises at the point of commissioning. Achieving the correct light levels on-site will improve safety and efficiency.

Thorne & Derrick work with Raytec to provide a hazardous area lighting design service that is completely free of charge, providing you with a visual 3D representation of the final lighting solution, with detailed lux levels and a true indication of lighting performance. Our lighting design experts will guide you through the entire process, ensuring the optimum solution is achieved.

SPARTAN is a full range of Ex LED luminaires and lighting approved for all ATEX and IEC Ex Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous area environments, including UL /CSA C1D2 installations. The hazardous area lighting products are designed for the most extreme environments – Flood, Linear, Bulkhead, Bay and Crane luminaires with emergency and industrial lighting versions are also available from Thorne & Derrick International.
