LED LIGHTING FOR HAZARDOUS AREAS
C
halmit has launched the Protecta X LED: a new luminaire that is up
to 50 per cent brighter than any traditional linear light on the market. The Protecta X has specialised
optics which deliver the light of a 4ft linear in a lightweight and slimline luminaire package. The optics control the light, generating a highly targeted, bright, white output over the desired area, and limiting the amount of wasted spill light. The optics are available in a variety of distinct distributions, designed for key site applications – such as mounted from handrails for walkway illumination and localised lighting in low/ medium bay applications. This higher, more focused output means fewer luminaires are required, reducing, installation, inspection times and overall project costs. Furthermore, the Protecta X is 50 per cent more energy efficient than a fluorescent luminaire, reducing energy costs too. Chalmit has also innovated with the
emergency version of the product. The Emergency Protecta X has an innovative battery stick which slots into the side of the luminaire, eliminating the need to laboriously open the driver enclosure to access the battery. If battery issues arise, the stick can be simply removed or replaced in minutes – reducing maintenance times by a third. The position of the battery stick also means users can purchase the stick when they

are ready to use the luminaire. The Protecta X also avoids the
overheating issues of traditional linear luminaires, making it more likely to meet the stipulated 120,000-hour lifespan; even at 60°C, it has a lifespan of 90,000 hours. Its LEDs and driver are housed in separate enclosures extending the life of both components. Air gaps between the luminaire and central body prevent the collection and dust and particulates, which can also encourage overheating. Made of highly recyclable marine grade aluminium, rather than plastic, heat is conducted away from the new luminaire’s central body. These design features ensure the Protecta X has an exceptional ambient temperature range of -40o standard models and -25o
C to +60o C to +60o
emergency variants.

Portable is now even more portable
Many of Artidor’s customers need light in places that are difficult to reach. Such as in ships or aircraft under construction, but also in other places where they do not have a wall socket or connection every two meters. So they asked Artidor if the company could find a solution. That is how Artidor arrived at the
idea of developing a portable, rechargeable work-light. It was important, of course, that the lamp
could be used throughout the day and could then be recharged quickly enough. So that is the basic idea behind the Ultra2 LED work-light. The reactions Artidor received about the product were very positive. But people also had a number of questions: “That’s a great idea, a
portable lamp! But it’s not going to be easy to transport it with the charging system. Do you have a solution for that?” Initially, Artidor had to reluctantly answer “No” to that question but the company got round
the table again to see whether it could also find a good solution for this. The result is a number of accessories that perfectly match the work-
light. First and foremost, there is the new storage case. This actually makes the portable work-light even more portable, because all the components can now be transported “one-handed”. The case also offers extra protection, even though the Ultra2 is already shock-resistant. Artidor also designed a stand especially for the lamp. It is a tripod,
with three legs for extra stability and balance. That means that the lamp can be positioned up to a height of two meters with no risk of it falling. The stand also includes a tilting mechanism. That way, the space in which you are working can always be lit from the right angle. And you do not have to move the lamp all the time. But this does not mean that Artidor is going to rest on its laurels.
Because although a rechargeable work-light is extremely handy, there are also customers that work for a long time in the same space and at the same location. So Artidor now offers these customers a wired option: the Ultra1. However, the even more robust and modern design of the Ultra3 is also on the way.
