The wide assortment of Glamox products available to our clients are of superior technical quality, and available for a wide range of applications – including challenging environments and hazardous /explosive areas.
All maritime lighting requirements, including interior lighting, floodlights and searchlights, explosion-proof fluorescents and navigation lights are where Glamox really have set the standard for marine and offshore lighting with their innovative and energy efficient (LED) solutions for extreme applications. For example WPS are supplying FPSO’s that are in waters offshore of the equator (Ghana and Nigeria) which requires the technical knowledge and quality in manufacture that Glamox supply in their products.
Glamox has recently supplied a complete lighting package to a new floating production storage and offloading unit (FPSO) that will operate off the coast of Brazil. The FPSO is constructed and operated by Modec, one of the largest FPSO contractors in the world. More than 1800 Glamox LED light luminaires have been supplied to the FPSO, with a product range from downlights (DL60) to explosion proof products like the FX60 floodlights and MAX LED. LED lighting systems ensure a long lifetime, and reduced maintenance, which are valuable features for the FPSO that is expected to be deployed offshore for more than 20 years. The image above of this vessel is a great illustration of the differing types of lighting required. i.e. navigational, helipad, explosive areas, crew recreational & accommodation areas, industrial fittings for harsh environments.
