Wolf® WL-80/WL-85 Ex-proof LED MINI WORKLITE™

The Wolf WL-80 and WL-85 "Worklite" are rechargeable battery-powered lighting units designed to meet high-lumen floodlighting requirements in hazardous areas. Offered by IST Safety Ltd, the official distributor of Wolf, this series stands out for its ability to illuminate wide areas without the constraints of trailing cables.

While the WL-80 model features the classic and reliable Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) battery, the WL-85 model utilizes modern Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) technology, making it significantly lighter and offering extended runtimes of up to 24 hours. Certified for Zone 1/21, these floodlights feature an impact-resistant polymer body and an IP67 ingress protection rating, making them the most reliable portable solution for heavy industrial maintenance, inspections, and tank cleaning operations.

The Worklite™ is a rechargeable, high-output LED floodlight with ATEX, IECEx, and UKEX certifications. It is designed for harsh, remote environments, providing long-lasting light. It is CE marked for safe use in explosive gas, vapour, mist, and dust atmospheres in Zones 1, 2, 21, and 22, with a T4 temperature class.

What is ATEX Lighting?

What is ATEX and what does exproof mean? The ATEX directive is a set of European Union standards that define the safety requirements for equipment used in hazardous areas with explosive atmospheres. Exproof (Explosion-proof) refers to protection methods designed to prevent explosions by inhibiting the formation of sparks or electrical arcs in environments containing flammable gases, dust, or vapors. To ensure life and property safety in industrial facilities, the use of ATEX-certified exproof devices is a legal requirement.

What is ATEX Zone Classification?

ATEX Zone coding is a technical classification based on the frequency and duration of the occurrence of an explosive atmosphere in a given area. While the terms Zone 0, 1, and 2 are used for risks originating from gas, vapor, and mist; the codes Zone 20, 21, and 22 are designated for environments containing combustible dust. This classification is a legal standard that determines the required Equipment Protection Level (EPL) for devices. Accurate zone identification both optimizes operational costs and minimizes occupational safety risks.

What is IECEx Certification? How Does it Differ from ATEX? 

In addition to ATEX certification, some projects may also require the IECEx Certification System (International Electrotechnical Commission Explosive Atmospheres System) certification. IECEx is an internationally recognized conformity assessment system for equipment intended for use in explosive atmospheres. 

While ATEX is a European Union directive and a legal requirement within the European market, IECEx is a globally accepted certification system, widely preferred in regions such as the Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

From a technical perspective, both ATEX and IECEx are based on similar standards (e.g., the EN/IEC 60079 series). However:

  • ATEX is a mandatory legal directive, whereas
  • IECEx is an international certification system (voluntary, but widely required)

Therefore, while ATEX certification may be sufficient for certain projects, international tenders or critical industries such as oil & gas often prefer or require products that are certified to both ATEX and IECEx standards.

The appropriate certification should be determined based on the project location, client requirements, and application area.
