Cortem LifEx-P Ex LED Linear Luminaire, Plastic Body
Description
Plastic linear Ex LED luminaires with optional emergency operation
The Cortem LifEx-P series are linear LED luminaires with a UV-resistant, IK09 polycarbonate and glass-fibre reinforced polyester body and a transparent polycarbonate diffuser. Cortem describes a compact, light, easy-to-install and highly corrosion-resistant design, built for a long service life, with an innovative bracket mechanism that has no fixed fixing distance, which makes retrofit easy. Lengths and power ratings vary, and lumen output ranges from 1,500 lm to 12,500 lm. The datasheet cover lists a five-year warranty subject to Cortem terms.
Two versions cover different zones. LifEx-PE (Ex db eb mb IIC, Ex tb IIIC) is for Zones 1, 2, 21 and 22 with protection levels Gb and Db. LifEx-PN (Ex nR IIC, Ex tb IIIC) is for Zone 2 and Zones 21 and 22 with levels Gc and Db. Emergency versions add a battery unit, with a heated-battery option for ambient temperatures down to -60 °C.

Emergency versions, options and what to confirm
Emergency models such as LifEx-PE-0615N, -0630N and -1230N weigh 3.4 to 5.2 kg and give 797, 793 and 667 lm in emergency mode with 90 or 180 minutes discharge time. Options include coloured LED strips, a battery box for easier battery replacement (example LifEx-PE-1230N-AE), a battery heater version for -60 °C at 230 Vac (example LifEx-PE-1230NH), wiring connection versions, DALI dimming on enquiry, multirange drivers, and earthing rings for metal glands.
Confirm the zone (PE or PN), length and wattage, supply voltage, emergency requirement and ambient range, and the gland type. The LifEx-M series from the same manufacturer is a separate model.
