Introduction
Re-defining functional lighting aesthetics, our explosion-proof lampshade merges decorative appeal with rigorous safety standards. The mould-pressed borosilicate construction ensures uniform pattern replication while providing shatter-resistant protection. Interior patterns diffuse light evenly, while exterior textures conceal surface wear. Engineered for Zone 1 hazardous areas, it withstands both mechanical impacts and explosive pressures without compromising its visual sophistication.
Features
- Dual-surface patterning:
- Interior: Light-diffusing prismatic textures (20-80% haze adjustable)
- Exterior: Anti-slip decorative motifs (diamond, stipple, or custom designs)
- 3-12mm wall thickness options for varying impact requirements
- Custom optical effects:
- Frosted light diffusion
- Directional light control
- Colored glass interlayers
