Fluorescent Light fittings
Zone 2 – Zones 21 & 22
Product Category: Hazardous Area Lighting
The ATX FN Series of heavy duty nonmetallic fluorescent light fittings, manufactured by Appleton ATX, are available as a standard version or with an automatic battery backup system. The battery backup system can provide up to 3 hours of emergency lighting in hazardous area zones and explosive atmospheres in the event of a power failure.
These fluorescent light fittings offer excellent resistance to corrosion and are a suitable hazardous area lighting option to use in Zones 2, 21 and 22 hazardous locations. ATX FN Series are often used in oil refineries, petrochemical facilities, pulp and paper mills, food processing plants, warehouses, underground tunnels and other manufacturing facilities. The high impact resistant housing and wind profile make the FN Series fluorescent light fittings ideal for use in both extreme offshore and onshore hazardous zone environments.
