Dietal, a French company that provides tailor made lighting solutions, is set to launch a new range of explosion-proof LED lighting fixtures.

It is also set to open a new office in Dubai in the spring, said a statement.

Ahead of its participation in Business France at the Middle East Electricity show, which will run from March 2 to 4 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, the firm said the opening of this new location will meet three goals - to be closer to its local partners, to assist them in carrying out their projects, and to strengthen the Dietal brand's positioning in the region.

The Middle East, and the UAE in particular, represent a significant potential for development: the region includes a large number of infrastructure and property development projects, which Dietal is able to address, said a statement.

Furthermore, Dietal can meet the lighting market's stringent requirements in this region, offering suitable products in terms of both quality (designed and manufactured in Europe), and innovation (expertise in fluorescent and LED technologies).

DIETAL's teams of experts are working in particular on the development of a new range of sealed LED lighting fixtures for explosive atmospheres.

Complying with Atex requirements, this programme will help the firm to satisfy the specific needs of its customers and end users for lighting in difficult environments (refining, petrochemical, agri-food etc.), offering an efficient (luminous efficacy of up to 130 lm/W), connected (centralised control via wireless communications) and sustainable (more than 50,000 hours of operation) solution. - TradeArabia News Service
