Zacks Investment Research | Jun 24, 2019 09:01PM ET
Emerson Electric Co. (NYSE:EMR) recently unveiled the Appleton ATX FNLED luminaire and upgraded Appleton ATX FELED luminaire, expanding its portfolio of LED linear luminaires. While the company has developed the new Appleton ATX FNLED non-metallic luminaire for use in the IECEx/ATEX Zone 2 and 22 hazardous areas, the upgraded version of the Appleton ATX FELED luminaire is designed particularly for the IECEx/ATEX Zone 1 and 21 hazardous areas. The expansion of the portfolio will allow the company to extend its energy efficient and reliable lighting solution offerings across industrial facilities.
Easy to install and maintain, the ATX FELED luminaire is suitable for use in the oil and exploration, wastewater treatment, petrochemical plant and in industries where flammable gases’ combustible concentrations exist. Notably, the upgraded version of the ATX FELED luminaire offers better LED performance, with an expanded voltage range. On the other hand, the ATX FNLED is designed for use in warehouses, beverage processing, pharmaceuticals, alternative energy and marinas. Notably, both these luminaries have higher energy efficiency, longer service life and require low maintenance costs compared to its standard lighting counterparts.
Equipped with a fiberglass reinforced polyester body, hinged polycarbonate lens and an elastomer gasket, Appleton FELED and FNLED linear luminaries offer an ideal choice for industries seeking solutions for ingress protection from moisture and dust.
