Wolf Safety’s new tank lighting kit, CE marked for Atex compliance, provides a quick and easy portable temporary lighting solution in Zone 1 hazardous areas where potentially explosive gases, vapours and dusts may be present, the company says.

The kit comprises a Zone 1, 230 V or 110 V to 24 V Ex transformer supplying extra low voltage for use in tanks and vessels, and four LL-500 fluorescent leadlamps, with either twin or quad lamp configuration.  Each lamp is supplied with 20 m SY cable and fitted with ATX 2P+E plugs and sockets for connection in the explosive area.  Easy maintenance is a key feature of this product range, with standard replacement compact fluorescent lamps which can be fitted in minutes, readily available from electrical wholesalers.
 Tank Lighting kits are available in numerous configurations, the most popular being four 2 x 36 W lamps for use with tripods or magnetic brackets, giving 180o of light output.  Alternatively, a kit comprising three 2 x 36 W lamps and one 4 x 36 W lamp providing 360 high-quality ambient light is particularly appropriate for use with a stand to mount the lamp vertically and elevate it away from any residue.
A full range of accessories is available, including protective film, magnetic fixings, tripods, and stands using the integrated Unistrut-compatible mounting points.  Wolf Safety also carries a full range of spares to minimise downtime for the user.
 Typical applications for this versatile lighting kit include vessel entry, tank cleaning and routine inspection work, as part of programmed preventative maintenance shutdowns in potentially dangerous confined spaces, frequently encountered in the aircraft, oil and gas, petrochemical and utility markets.
