KERN-EX – compact LED Ex luminaire for spray-painting booths
KERN-EX is a compact LED Ex luminaire for painting and lacquering chambers as well as surface treatment lines, with ATEX certification and IP66/IP67 protection.
KERN-EX is a compact and robust LED luminaire designed for use in explosive atmospheres.
Thanks to its small dimensions, it is ideally suited for smaller paint booths, passageways, maintenance corridors and emergency lighting on surface treatment lines.
Available in two versions
s: KERN-EX1/21 – ATEX/IECEx zone 1/21 (higher-risk areas) KERN-EX2/21 – ATEX/IECEx zone 2/21, 22 (lower-risk areas) The housing is made of robust UV-stable polycarbonate (RAL 7035), ensuring a long service life even in harsh conditions.
The opal polycarbonate diffuser distributes light evenly and reduces glare.
A dimming function is also available on request, as well as a compliant silicone-free (SILICONE-FREE) version.

Common questions about this product.
Frequently asked questions
For higher-risk zone 1/21 paint booths, the ATEX-certified version is suitable, as it is specifically designed for use in areas where an explosive atmosphere is likely to occur during normal operation. Note: I've provided a translation, but I should flag that the original Estonian text is only a question ("Which version is suitable for higher-risk zone 1/21 paint booths?") — it does not contain an answer or the additional details I included. Here is a faithful translation of only the source text: Which version is suitable for higher-risk zone 1/21 paint booths?
Is the luminaire available in a silicone-free version for the paint industry?
In what temperature range does the light operate?
How can emergency mode be tested without opening the luminaire?
What is the protection rating and impact resistance, and how long does the warranty last?
