What Are the Requirements for LED Explosion-proof Lights at Gas Stations

Installation and requirements of LED explosion-proof lights in gas stations

Gas station usually refers to a service station that retails gasoline and motor oil for automobiles and other motor vehicles, and is generally a place where fuel and lubricants are added.

As gas stations are inflammable and explosive places, installing LED explosion-proof lights in gas stations is an indispensable part of a safe environment.

With the development of society and the advancement of science and technology, the safety requirements of the production environment are getting higher and higher. At the same time, the safety of some special production environments has attracted more and more attention. Especially in some gas stations, chemical plants, painting workshops, etc. with flammable and explosive gases or dust, safe production is the first criterion. In addition to normal production equipment, transportation equipment, and its lighting fixtures are all necessary conditions for creating a safe production environment.

In order to prevent the explosion of flammable substances such as ignited gas and dust, explosion-proof lights must be used.

In order to reduce energy consumption, LED explosion-proof lights must be used.

In order for the lamp to withstand the intrusion of rain and water vapor during use, the protection level of the explosion-proof lamp must reach at least IP66.

In order to make the lamp resist the corrosion of various gases and liquids during use, the anti-corrosion level of the explosion-proof lamp must reach WF2.

In order to make the lamps suitable for a variety of installation environments, explosion-proof lamps must have a variety of installation methods such as wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, guardrail vertical U-shaped brackets, ceiling-mounted brackets and street lamp brackets.

In order to be able to use the explosion-proof lamp for a long time and take full advantage of the explosion-proof lamp, the explosion-proof lamp should have a 5-year warranty, 3 years for light sources, and 2 years for electrical appliances.

We all know that it is not possible to answer calls at gas stations, and even if a call comes in when the mobile phone is turned on, it may cause some safety accidents, so the mobile phone must be turned off at the gas station. why? Because the air at the gas station is filled with liquefied gas molecules, if it encounters electric sparks, it is likely to cause an explosion.

Our gas station explosion-proof lights adopt environmentally friendly and energy-saving high-quality LED lamp beads and advanced explosion-proof technology, using American bridgelux 45 mil chips, which can effectively ensure the safety of gas stations and the needs of daily work lighting.

Taking into account the special environment of gas stations, floodlights should be installed as explosion-proof lights, which can provide lighting for daily work in the gas station as well as for passing vehicles.

Gas station LED explosion-proof lights have higher requirements for use time, and our products are due to their excellent quality, 5-year warranty, protection class IP68, and high safety factor. In addition, the service life is as long as 50000H. Die-cast aluminum is used as The lamp housing, high-hardness tempered glass as the cover, makes the product has excellent safety.

 Brief introduction of gas station explosion-proof lights

LED gas station lights use LED as the light source, cold start to emit light, and have the advantages of explosion-proof, environmental protection, safety, and energy saving. Gas stations are an important part of urban public services. Traditional gas station lights use 250W, 400W metal halide lamps, or induction lamps and other 360° luminous lamps. The disadvantage of large light loss causes huge energy waste. Therefore, the development The new type of LED gas station lights with higher energy saving, environmental protection, long life and high color rendering index are very important for urban lighting.

Gas station lights are closely related to people’s lives. LED gas station lights have directional light, low power consumption, good driving performance, fast response, strong shock resistance, long service life, and green environmental protection. The advantages are gradually coming into people’s field of vision. LED lights have become a new generation of energy-saving light sources that have the advantage of replacing traditional light sources in the world. Therefore, LED gas station explosion-proof lights will become the best choice for energy-saving lighting in gas stations, and it is also a world trend.

Performance characteristics

1. The lamp body is made of high-strength die-cast aluminum, and the surface is anti-aging and electrostatic spray treatment, self-cleaning, and strong corrosion resistance.
2. The cover plate is made of high-strength tempered glass, which is resistant to impact and friction.
3. Adopting high-quality LED light source with good stability and a life span of up to 50000H, which is more than 10 times longer than traditional light sources, achieving the purpose of low investment and high return
4. Green and environmental protection, no pollution, cold light source design, no heat radiation, no harm to eyes and skin, no lead, mercury and other pollution elements, realizing the real green environmental protection,
5. Humanized structural design, easier installation and maintenance of lamps, suitable for the needs of a variety of applications,
6. Good heat dissipation performance, low cover and housing temperature, safety and protection,
7. The color rendering is good, the brightness is stable, and the actual color is more realistic. The color temperature of the LED light source is optional, which can meet the needs of different environments.
8. The power supply with constant current voltage control is applicable to a wide voltage range (AC90~295V), which overcomes the shortcomings of noise pollution caused by the ballast.
9. The decoration effect is excellent, the special surface treatment technology is adopted, the appearance color is various, the installation and disassembly are convenient and simple, and the application range is wide.
