Hadar HDL106E.

Hadar Lighting, the specialist manufacturer of Zone 1 and Zone 2 lighting for Hazardous Areas and part of the Ashington-based A-Belco Group, will be launching their new Hadar HDL106E LED emergency floodlights at the prestigious Offshore Europe exhibition in Aberdeen.

Hadar HDL106E LED emergency floodlights are designed specifically for stairwells, muster areas, lifeboat stations and other critical zones in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas which require large amount of light when normal power supplies fail, the lights have just received third party certification through SIRA for both ATEX and IEC Ex applications, enabling the company to begin full scale production to fulfil pre-registered orders.

Weighing just 9 kgs, the Hadar HDL106E hazardous area flood lighting units can be set up in single, double or even triple arrays with the amount of light generated able to be pre-set dependant on individual requirements.

Bill Armstrong, Hadar's Sales Director, explained the advantages of the hazardous area LED floodlights. "The Hadar HDL106 hazardous area floodlight has met with universal approval across a wide range of sectors, but in the offshore sector the flood lights have been particularly well received. Whilst in mainland installations these hazardous area LED flood lights very quickly pay for themselves through low maintenance and power requirements, in offshore emergency situations the important criteria is not necessarily the cost of running, but rather the minimal draw of power in a situation where a finite supply of power is available."

"In addition, as the amount of equipment on rigs increases, so does the light required on increasingly cluttered decks. More hazardous area lights normally require more power which isn't always easy to arrange, especially on older rigs, so the huge advantage of all LED floodlights, whether for normal operations or emergency situations, is that engineers can produce more light, with less power and without the need for costly re-wires. Hadar HDL106E hazardous area LED floodlights are easy to fit, cheap to run, very rugged, give off a fantastic white light, and are instantly on or off with no warm up period. "

"This Hadar HDL106E emergency version has been developed due to customer demand for similar hazardous area lights for muster stations and emergency escape routes - the battery can be pre-set to give light from 90 minutes to six hours by activating different numbers of the integral LEDs - a feature which is obviously impossible for traditional Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous area luminaries."

"The hazardous area flood lights are for 'fit and forget' situations where conventional battery powered luminaries would not last - Hadar HDL106E are  lightweight and can handle the vibrations on offshore platforms, rigs and marine vessels which necessitate constant maintenance for traditional emergency lighting."

Hadar Hazardous Area Lighting is a specialist manufacturer of Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous area lighting for the oil, gas, petro-chemical, pharmaceutical, offshore and marine industries worldwide - offering the design and production of hazardous area lighting products for Zone 1, 2, 21 & 22, Gas and Dust.
