Offshore Lighting
Offshore Lighting
An offshore platform is a huge structure with facilities for well drilling to explore, extract, store, process petroleum and natural gas which lies in rock formations beneath the seabed. For an offshore platform, the number of lights required and installed depends on the height of the structure. A combination of low intensity and medium intensity lights are necessary to light up the offshore platform.

IMPORTANT NOTE: data is compiled from hazardous-area-specific lighting publications. However, these are recommendations only; careful consideration must go into every unique environment.
Lighting in extreme conditions has always been a challenge because of locations, vibrations, hazardous gases, access to certain areas etc. Keeping this in mind, our products are designed to withstand all these conditions along with ATEX and IECEX certifications for LED light fixtures. They have modular design with removable PSU, makes access for maintenance easier and cost effective. Our battery operated, emergency floodlights for Zone 1 and Zone 2 area are ground breaking technology. Emergency Offshore lighting is especially important for applications with unstable power supplies where light failures occur more frequently. LED Emergency luminaires ensures there is no loss of output when switching to emergency mode and provide up to 100% light output during emergency. All fixtures are marine grade aluminium, IP66/67, ATEX & IECEX certified, UL/CSA approved including C1D2 and ABS, various beam angles, white light, 5 years warranty and high lumen output LED with long life.
