Carden Lighting
Space walk-through · Hazardous areas

Critical plants, lit safely.

Walk a refinery zone by zone and find the Carden luminaire for each — explosion-proof, rugged and efficient fixtures where safety is non-negotiable.

The challenge of lighting hazardous areas

Explosive atmospheres, corrosion and uptime.

Explosion-proof rated

Luminaires for explosive atmospheres (Ex/ATEX) that operate safely in classified zones.

Uptime & emergency

24/7 operation with rated emergency that keeps the plant safe during an outage.

Efficiency & low maintenance

Long-life LED that reduces interventions in hard, costly-to-access zones.

Visibility to operate safely

Uniformity and good contrast to read instruments and operate valves precisely.

What we solve

From the process unit to the perimeter, one supplier.

Rated, rugged, efficient fixtures in every zone — the whole plant lit safely, backed by Carden.

  • Explosion-proof (Ex/ATEX) luminaires in classified zones
  • Resistance to corrosion, weather and impact (IP66/IK)
  • Rated emergency for safe continuity
  • Long life that reduces maintenance in hard-access zones
  • One specification for the whole plant

Values are reference. Zone classification (Ex/ATEX) and levels are determined by a study and design per the applicable hazardous-area standard and the project.
