Exm Range

Exceptional lighting for Explosive environments

The x-Glo’s Exm series is an innovative line of LED hazardous area lighting, specifically designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (Zone 1/21 & 2/22) within harsh industrial settings such as coal mines and oil & gas facilities. Our Explosion Proof Strip Lights are designed to provide a reliable and safe lighting solution that provide continuous area lighting and targeted lighting.

Flexible by design. Flexible by nature.

The MineGlow Exm IECEx LED strip lighting delivers a highly flexible and customisable solution where explosion proof lighting is required where highly flammable and explosive substances are present

FAQ

EXM LED Strip Light For Hazardous Areas

What is hazardous area LED strip lighting?

Our EXM range is specifically designed for zone 1/21 and 2/22 areas. Environments where there is a risk of explosion due to the presence of flammable gases, vapours and dust.

What makes our LED strip light explosion proof?

Our EXM strip light is fully encapsulated using a food grade silicon material. The double extrusion isolates gases and dust in the prevention of igniting any atmospheric substances. The strip light is low voltage, offering 24, 36 or 48 volts which reduces the risk of serious electric shock and are developed to operate in extreme temperatures from as low as -40 degrees to as high as 80 degrees.

What certification do the strip lights have?

The EXM strip lights have both ATEX (Atmospheres Explosibles) and IECEx (International Electromechanical Commission Explosive) certification.

Where have you previously supplied these strip lights?

• Mining Operations
• Chemical plants
• Oil and gas facilities
• Oil tanks
• Grain and flour storage and processing facilities
• Water treatment plants
• Aircraft storage and maintenance areas
• Offshore oil rigs
• Oil & Gas Floating Production Ships (FPSOs)

How many metres do they come in?

Depending on the solution and lumen output required, our longest running length is 30 metres powered by one end.

Can I order a specific length?

Yes, you can order a specific length. The EXM PCB comes in standard 0.5 metre increments and we can customise it to meet your required length.

How do I power up the strip lights?

The strip light is powered from one end using a power supply/Driver which matches the voltage of the strip light. The power supply will either need to be placed outside of the zoned area using a longer extension cable on the front connector or if it is placed in the hazardous environment, it will need to be housed in an enclosure. MineGlow can provide a quotation for a suitable enclosure which is also mountable or portable.

Can I run two strip lights in parallel off one power supply?

Yes, it is possible if you have a large enough power supply to power up both strip lights off one PSU. For e.g. the minimum wattage required to power up the brightest EXM strip light is 240 watts. You would require a 240W or higher power supply in an enclosure with enough space for heat dissipation and containment. The enclosure will differ in that there will be two flame proof cable glands with IECEX certified female connectors installed which allows for a plug and play solution to the IECEx male connectors which are installed on the strip lights.

Can I hardwire the strip lights directly to the power supply without having connectors attached?

Yes, but only in the scenario where the power supply is outside of the hazardous area.

Is the light waterproof?

All of our strip lights including our EXM range hold an IP67 rating. This allows them to effectively be used in outdoor areas too. The connectors are injection moulded onto the strip light and the stainless-steel braided cable comes with a DryWire mechanism to prevent water from entering the strip through capillary action.

How long is the cable attached to the strip light?

The steel braided cable can be customised to the length you require. A common requirement is a 5m long cable on the injection moulded front connector however, we can also manufacture the front connector with a 10 or 15 metre cable.

What about overheating?

We have integrated a Current Control IC into the EXM light body. This component maintains a constant current level despite temperature fluctuations, thereby preventing overheating and protecting the internal PCB from damage. Provided that temperatures remain within the specified ambient range, there is no need to be concerned about overheating.

What happens if a part of the strip light is damaged, will the whole strip be affected?

If a segment of the strip light is damaged, the entire strip will not be affected. The light strip will continue to function normally, as the damage to one circuit board does not result in any short circuiting.

What is the average lifespan of the lights?

On average all our lights have a lifespan of 50000 hours.

Do they come with a warranty?

Yes, a 5-year warranty is issued when purchasing our EXM strip lights. Additionally, every strip undergoes rigorous quality checks before leaving the factory.

What makes your explosion proof strip lights different from other IECEx approved lights on the market?

• With safety being our number one priority, this light is manufactured with only the best available high-quality LED’s that provide optimum white light within the 6500 light spectrum.
• Efficacy and efficiency. The built is LED light source boasts a luminous efficiency of up to 83 lumens per watt allowing significant energy cost savings.
• The copper belt added in our EXM LED strip lights allow for longer running lengths, boosted conduction and better heat dissipation.
• Durability in that the silicone housing can withstand more than 100kg of tensile force without breaking.
• The 1st flexible strip light with ATEX/IECEx certification, globally with a bending diameter of 300mm allowing for easy installation in difficult areas.
• Advanced nanotechnology coating with the lotus effect, repelling dust and dirt while preserving vibrant colour and brightness throughout its lifespan.
• Very little to no maintenance costs
• Flame retardant
• UV resistant as well as solvent and seawater resistant
• Non-toxic and environmentally friendly with no glass or mercury present in the light body
• Operate in extreme temperatures
• Customised lengths available
• Available in 24/36/48 volts as well as 24v pulsating

How do I install the lights?

We suggest using our stainless-steel mounting channel. It was designed especially to fit our EXM strip light and is easily mounted to any surface and built to withstand high levels of vibration. The lights can also be neatly recessed or suspended. To view our installation video please click on the link https://vimeo.com/644705059.

Can they hang in a tank or silo?

Yes they are able to hang vertically without placing pressure on the cable and strip light.

When will I get the product after placing an order?

As these lights are made to order and are not part of our standard stock, the average time from production to despatch is 5 weeks.
