In the nuclear power plant environment, there is a risk of explosive gas and dust atmospheres (ZONE 1/21 and ZONE 2/22), which requires strict safety standards and robust technological solutions. Another specific factor is resistance to radiation, which affects the durability of materials and their long-term reliability. Extreme temperature fluctuations, high dust and humidity are common throughout the energy sector, increasing the demands for robust construction and protection against degradation. Offshore wind farms add an additional challenge in the form of saline environments that accelerate corrosion and require special surface treatments for luminaires and other technologies. Lighting in this sector must be resistant to vibration, mechanical stresses and weather conditions, including temperature variations and high UV radiation, which can affect the performance and life of luminaires located in outdoor environments. Another key consideration is the difficulty of maintaining and replacing luminaires, as many lighting installations are installed in hard-to-reach areas such as high-rise masts, turbines or enclosed process areas. Therefore, luminaires with long life, high efficiency and minimal maintenance requirements are preferred. In the context of the growing emphasis on sustainability and ecology (Green Energy), energy-efficient luminaires with high efficiency that meet strict environmental standards and minimize environmental impact are preferred in this sector. EX luminaires certified for ZONE 1/21 and ZONE 2/22 are used to ensure safety in environments with explosive gases and dust. The luminaires must have high protection (IP66/IP67/IP69), resistance to extreme temperatures, vibration, mechanical damage and corrosive effects, ensuring safe and long-term reliable operation throughout the energy sector. ATEX and IECEx certification and other specific standards guarantee maximum safety and performance even in the most demanding operating conditions.
