A large bottling facility in the west of Scotland, located in East Kilbride near Glasgow, required a reliable and weatherproof lighting solution for its outdoor gantry areas mounted on VAT tanks.

Challenge

• The lighting had to withstand Zone 2 hazardous area classification conditions, ensuring compliance with safety regulations.

• The environment is exposed to variable weather conditions, including cold temperatures that risk condensation inside lighting fixtures.

• Robustness and durability were essential due to the industrial setting and outdoor exposure.

Solution

The project specified the installation of the Schuch nD866 range of Zone 2 linear LED fittings. These luminaires were gantry-mounted directly onto the VAT tanks to provide high-quality, consistent illumination.

Key features of the nD866 fittings include:

• Robust and weatherproof design suitable for industrial outdoor use

• Breather facility to prevent condensation build-up, especially important in cold climates

• Compliance with Zone 2 hazardous area requirements for safe operation around flammable vapors

Results

• Improved safety and visibility around critical VAT tanks

• Reliable, weather-resistant lighting that minimizes maintenance needs

• Compliance with industry safety standards for hazardous areas
