Probably the Lightest Floodlight in the World:
30 March 2007
The Ex-protected floodlight FZD 04 in modular design for high- pressure lamps makes mounting and maintenance easier.
A lot of light with little electrical power - nowadays the efficient illumination of large industrial installations without light fittings with high-pressure discharge lamps is unthinkable.
The major disadvantage of explosion-protected, high-pressure light fittings is the construction of their housings, which are often very heavy as well as bulky. This involves special requirements to fix and mount the apparatus.
The explosion-protected floodlight FZD 04 for 250W/400W high-pressure sodium or metal halide lamps from Cooper Crouse-Hinds GmbH offers a sophisticated solution for this problem. With its modular design, this powerful floodlight can be mounted by only one person without the help of any lifting tools. The 4kg lightweight main housing is fixed by four screws at its normal mounting point, regardless of the height. The heavy housing for the electronic ballast is mounted within easy reach at a low level and connected by cable to the main housing. Before commissioning, the lamp module is simply plugged in and secured in position in the main housing- ready! This saves an enormous amount of time cost and effort for the mounting.
Moreover, this extremely robust light fitting can be put to full use under the most adverse con-ditions. The floodlight in modular design is approved for use in hazardous areas Zones 1, 21, 2 and 22. It features an Ex-e enclosure. The Ex-d lamp cassette is simply plugged onto the main Ex-e enclosure, which can be mounted or replaced without the use of special tools, only an Allen key is required to secure against loosening. It goes without saying that the ballast enclosure in GRP or stainless steel, the light metal main light fitting en-clo-sure and the lamp cassette made of die-casted light alloy aluminium with safety-glass are designed in the high degree of protection IP 66. Replacing lamps in snow and ice down to - 45°C is not a problem with this floodlight. Due to the modular design, the Ex-d lamp module can easily be removed from the light fitting main en-closure and serviced in the maintenance workshop. When the lamp module is removed, an inte-grated circuit automatically effects the safe disconnection of the lamp contacts.
A reduction in the amount of maintenance and an increase in safety are the result. As things are always changing, a swivel reflector - optional wide or narrow-angle beam - allows the light to be directed where it is required - even after installation and with no additional installation work.
