Evolution II  is the new asymmetric beam version of the Evolution floodlight, and it shares the same features that have made this product the preferred floodlight luminaire in use since 1997 for hazardous area applications on North Sea offshore platforms, and many FPSO (Floating Process Storage Offloading) vessels, and other applications worldwide.

Evolution II and Evolution have no cover bolts or threads to get in the way of quick relamping. There are no exposed flame paths. The need for maintenance on the flamepaths is removed due to the only flamepaths being located within the IP67 seal of the gear cover. The Evolution can be classed as maintenance free.

Easy access to lamp and control gear. Simply open the IP67 terminal housing with one allen screw, loosen up the terminations, and slide out the lamp socket to relamp.

This luminaire achieves optimum lighting levels and minimum maintenance costs, and can replace at least two (2) rectangular Zone 1 floodlights owing to the asymmetric lighting distribution design.

EVOLUTION II Floodlight

A new emergency bulkhead luminaire, the NexLED has been introduced by oil and gas industry lighting specialist Chalmit Lighting. Providing instantaneous bright white light, the compact low energy units are not adversely affected by extreme low temperatures. This ensures a dependable long-life with low maintenance, making NexLED an ideal and cost effective alternative to traditional fluorescent and HID emergency lights. Further, the luminaires’ low power consumption minimises the drain on UPS resources. Designed in accordance with requirements for ATEX Category 2 and suitable for Zone 1 and 21 areas, NexLED will have widespread applications in onshore and offshore exploration, production, processing and storage. With die cast corrosion resistant marine grade aluminium enclosures, toughened glass covers, silicone rubber gaskets and stainless steel fittings, they are also suitable for use in other harsh industrial environments where there is exposure to high levels of dust and moisture.

Protecta III is the answer for applications in Zone 1 and Zone 2 areas where restricted mounting height or emergency-on light sources are needed. Protecta III features the Chalmit Lighting electronic ballast that has outstanding electrical immunity to mains disturbances including over-voltage, harmonics and spikes.

The glass reinforced polyester GRP housing, and a polycarbonate lens for durability, is the most robust, yet simple construction of any Ex'e' fluorescent luminaire on the market. Vibration tested to DNV and Lloyds requirements, and deluge tested to SHELL/ERA specifications.

Protecta III offers full compliance and has ATEX, CSA and GOST 'R' approvals, better photometric output, vastly improved emergency performance and new features that offer savings on installation, service and maintenance cost.

Emergency self-contained battery model certified T4 temperature rating at +55ºC ambient is standard product.
