The first in the domestic industry: Emergency LED lighting fixtures that can be used in explosion-proof areas
Launch of explosion-proof emergency LED lighting fixtures (VZAA series)
We have launched the first explosion-proof emergency LED lighting fixtures in the domestic industry that can be installed in explosion-proof areas where there is a risk of explosion or fire due to flammable gases or combustible liquids. Currently, emergency lighting fixtures defined by the Building Standards Act are limited to "incandescent lamps" and "fluorescent lamps," and the use of LEDs as emergency light sources has not been permitted. Therefore, while there have been LED emergency lighting fixtures that received certification based on the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's certification system and passed the self-assessment of emergency lighting fixtures by the Japan Lighting Manufacturers Association, they could not be used in explosion-proof areas where there is a risk of explosion or fire. In response to the many requests for the use of LED as an emergency light source even in explosion-proof areas, we have developed explosion-proof emergency LED lighting fixtures that have passed type testing by the Japan Industrial Safety and Health Association, received certification from the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and display the JIL mark from the Japan Lighting Manufacturers Association, making us the first in the domestic industry to do so. Orders will begin on September 15, 2016. Since the JIL mark is affixed to the product, building confirmation procedures can continue to be carried out smoothly as before.
