Glamox iGW LED 50W IP44 5000K
Glamox Marine Lighting. Glamox Marine specializes in LED lighting for ships, offshore and wind power installations with explosion-proof (ATEX/IECEx) and corrosion-resistant designs. The product lines include interior and exterior luminaires for Zone 1/2 according to EN 60079. All devices are designed for harsh marine environments with salt water, high-pressure cleaning u
Inspector Detail
▸
Common issues
- LED driver failure, especially after voltage spikes or poor earthing of the supply
- Gasket hardening or cracking over time, allowing moisture ingress
- Corrosion at housing seams or the cable gland in humid or salt-laden spaces
- Gradual lumen depreciation reducing effective illumination below the design level
- Cable gland or terminal corrosion causing intermittent operation
- Condensation forming inside the diffuser on fittings mounted in unheated spaces
Inspection checklist
- Visual check of housing, lens/diffuser and gasket condition
- Check light output visually, or with a lux meter, against baseline for critical spaces such as the engine room or escape routes
- Check cable gland tightness and earth continuity
- Confirm the driver gives steady output with no flicker
- Check the mounting bracket for corrosion or looseness
- For fittings on an emergency lighting circuit, verify changeover to the emergency supply
Service intervals
| Lens/diffuser cleaning | every 6 months, more often in engine room or exposed deck areas |
| Gasket and seal inspection | annually |
| Driver/module replacement | on failure - LED drivers are the most common failure point and are not normally replaced on a fixed schedule |
| Emergency lighting function test | monthly, if this fitting is on an emergency lighting circuit |
Typical wear limits
| Lumen maintenance | LED fittings of this class are commonly treated as end-of-life around L70 (70% of initial output), though the exact figure depends on the driver and LED chipset used - confirm against the datasheet rather than assuming a fixed number |
Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.
Critical spares
- LED driver module
- Gasket/seal kit
- Lens or diffuser cover
- Mounting bracket
- Cable gland set
Safety
- Isolate the circuit before opening the fitting - a local switch does not always fully de-energize it
- This fitting is rated IP44, a splash-proof rating, not a hosed-down or fully submersible rating - it is not suitable for positions exposed to direct washdown or green water despite being marketed as marine lighting
- Confirm the actual zone rating before use anywhere hazardous area classification applies - a standard fitting of this type is for safe/general areas, not Zone 1/2, unless the specific ATEX/IECEx-certified variant is confirmed
Class survey
General lighting is normally checked for basic function during survey. Fittings forming part of the emergency lighting system are subject to a documented periodic test and are checked more closely at survey, including changeover time to the emergency source.

Common failures & inspection points
Visuell: Korrosion an Gehäuse, Glands, Befestigungen (Rost, Pitting); Funktionell: IEC 60529 Wasserstrahl-Test (IPX5/6 für Hochdruck-Reinigung, IPX7/8 für Eintauchbereiche); Dichtheitsprüfung Gehäuse, Gasketeintegrität (Silikon/EPDM bevorzugt)
Verify certificate (Unit Verification or Type Exam + Product Verification); check Zone 2/22 compliance; label/marking on luminaire (II 2G Ex eb mb IIC T4 Gb); annual inspection by qualified person (CompEx-certified); document any changes to equipment
Functional test: AC voltage shutdown > 3 seconds, confirm LED activation; visual battery inspection (corrosion, secure connections); load test (annually): minimum duration 1.5 h (E1) or 3 h (E3) with ≥50 lux lighting on evacuation route; SOLAS compliance (automatic activation on power failure)
Surface inspection: 316L stainless steel for pitting, scratches (ASTM B117 salt spray standard); fasteners for corrosion (M25 brass fittings preferred); coating (powder paint) for damage; drainage holes free from obstruction; replace critical parts as needed (simple replacement with screwdriver possible)
Visual: check luminous intensity (comparison with similar luminaires); spectral/color temperature check (maintain CRI ≥80, no color cast); measurement point: check target area (50 lux emergency areas, higher for work areas); operating hours > 100,000 h → prepare for replacement (LED modules interchangeable)
Measure input voltage (check rated voltage, e.g. 220–254V AC); check for voltage spikes/fluctuations (no stability = electronics risk); check safety switches/contacts for wear; exclude temporary power supply (construction phase) → only permanent connections permitted
