The Nightstick XPR-5584GMX is the definition of an intrinsically safe product. This ATEX safety certified lantern is not capable of releasing enough electrical or thermal energy under normal or abnormal circumstances to cause ignition, even in a Zone 0 environment.
Intrinsically Safe ATEX Zones
Three components are necessary to create an explosion;
1. Flammable material – A gas, vapor, or mist.
2. Oxygen – Oxygen, regular breathable air, is sufficient.
3. Ignition Source – Extreme heat or a spark.
In a flammable atmosphere environment, special precautions must be taken to prevent catastrophic explosions. All portable lighting must be specifically engineered to avoid a spark from occurring and igniting any flammable vapors or explosive mists. In some cases, these vapors and mists can be colorless and odorless, making them especially dangerous.
Commercial worksites have different hazardous areas classified at a specific level called a “zone.” All equipment safety ratings must be carefully selected based on the most dangerous zone it may encounter; therefore, it is critical to identify the zone in which you will be working. Let’s take a look at the specific characteristics of each zone.
Zone 0
An area in which an explosive atmosphere is always present.
Zone 1
An area in which explosive atmospheres are likely to occur during regular operation. This may be due to leakage, scheduled maintenance, or emergency repairs.
Zone 2
An area in which an explosive atmosphere does not occur during normal operation, or for a short period of time only. This is 
usually the result of an accident or other unusual operating conditions.
The INTEGRITAS™ XPR-5584GMX Intrinsically Safe Rechargeable Lantern generates a scene-filling 600 lumens for an ultra-long 13 hours from four separate LEDs housed in a 180-degree articulating head for maximum versatility. Holding down the switch enables a battery-saving 250-lumen low mode, extending runtime to 25 hours when work demands extreme use. Designed and engineered as both a hand-held lantern and portable area light, the 5584 features a rear-mounted rubber base pad featuring a 25 lb—pull-force rare earth magnet for convenient hands-free, adjustable scene lighting on demand.
Constructed of thick-walled glass-filled nylon and weighing only 2 lbs. 11oz., 5584 is built to survive the harshest industrial environments. The over-molded rubber handle and carry strap provide the user superior grip and retention, while the two bright green rear-facing LEDs let others easily see your location for increased safety and awareness. The 5584 is a cULus-certified Class I DIV 1, ATEX and IECEX certified with a charger that meets the requirements of NFPA-1901-14.1.10.2 (2016) mounted in any position. It’s powered by an integrated rechargeable lithium-ion battery and comes with a charger base, AC and DC chargers and carry strap.
