Explosion Proof Lighting

Appleton Code Master Light Fittings

Appleton Code Master simplifies upgrading from legacy HID lighting to the more energy efficient LED (Light Emitting Diode) as the LED lighting for hazardous areas has familiar lighting patterns of traditional incandescent and HID (High Intensity Discharge) fixtures.

The new explosion proof lighting fitting is compatible with the legacy Appleton Code Master and therefore is easy to retrofit to the current lighting installation in less than five minutes.

 💡 Did you Know? Thorne & Derrick using latest software provide a FREE LIGHTING DESIGN SERVICE for the specification and supply of ATEX & IECEx Certified light fittings to provide safe and reliable lighting in explosive atmospheres and hazardous area locations.

LED Lighting for Hazardous Areas

Up To 85% Savings

In addition, the light fitting delivers crisp white light for superior colour rendering and a safer working environment, while allowing facility managers to take full advantage of impressive LED cost savings of up to 85% in petrochemical and chemical processing plants, refineries, waste treatment centers and other hazardous zone locations – delivering 60,000 hours of labour-saving, virtually maintenance-free lighting operation adding value by lowering maintenance costs and requiring fewer stand-by units be kept in stock.

Its service life is four times as long as an HID so it eliminates the high cost of frequent lamp or ballast replacement for lighting systems in explosive atmospheres.

Code Master by Appleton

“The Code Master Jr. HID from Appleton has been a hazardous area industry standard for decades,” said Christy Buttner, lighting product manager for Emerson Automation Solutions. “The new Appleton Code Master Jr. LED light fitting provides the same durability and reliability as the original along with money-saving energy efficiency. Retrofitting an HID lighting fixture only calls for removing the older fixture and threading in the new LED version, a process that takes mere minutes to complete.”

The new and improved Appleton Code Master is an ideal hazardous area lighting solution for high energy cost areas due to faster and more cost effective installation. The only wiring required is attaching two wires to the connection block of the mounting hood. Acme double-lead threads speed installation and fixture removal from the mounting hood with only half as many turns required compared to single-lead threads.

Safe Lighting for Hazardous Area Zones

Appleton Code Master Jr. LED explosion proof lighting is designed to provide operation in the presence of ignitable gases, vapors or dusts, such as in wastewater treatment plants, petrochemical plants and oil refineries.

Meeting the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) 3R and 4X performance criteria for enclosures, the new LED lighting fixtures are equally suitable for coastal locations and other wet environments that would damage standard lighting fixtures.

To fight corrosion caused by saltwater or chemicals, the lighting fittings and fixtures have a triple coat finish electrostatically applied for uniform protection.

The Appleton Code Master Jr. LED is available in models producing either 1600 or 3000 nominal lumens, which is the equivalent of 100W incandescent (50W HID) or 300W incandescent (70-100W HID), and in 5150 lumens (100-150 HID).
