Find The Right Fenix ATEX Light For Your Workplace
Fenix ATEX torches and headlamps provide intrinsically safe lighting for specified explosive-gas and combustible-dust environments. The range includes pocket inspection lights, magnetic work torches and rechargeable handheld or head-worn models. Start with the certification required by your site, then compare beam shape, battery system and carrying options.

Choose By Certification, Then By The Job
The workplace classification comes first. A brighter beam or a higher IP rating does not establish suitability for an explosive atmosphere.
-
Confirm The Site Requirements
Check the gas or dust zone, group, temperature limits and any specific conditions with the person responsible for the site assessment. -
Match The Light’s Marking
Check the exact product certification, approved battery and operating instructions against those requirements. -
Choose The Working Format
Compare a pocket torch, magnetic handheld light or headlamp, then consider beam distance and charging arrangements.
Before Hazardous-Area Use: The zone summary below is a buying aid. Final selection must use the full product marking, certification and manufacturer’s conditions of use for the assessed workplace.
Which Fenix ATEX Model Suits Your Task?
These options address different working needs. Compare only the models that meet your site’s requirements.
Rechargeable Handheld Inspection
Hands-Free Close WorkWH35RE
A rechargeable headlamp with a diffused 280-lumen beam. Its right-angle lamp detaches for handheld or chest-light use, making it useful when the job needs both hands.
Magnetic Positioning & Wider Zone CoverageWF11E
A 200-lumen AA-powered torch with a magnetic tail and clip. Its stated gas Zones 0–2 and dust Zones 20–22 distinguish it from the other models here.
Slim Pocket InspectionWF05E
An 85-lumen pen-style torch powered by approved AAA batteries. Its compact aluminium body and twist-head control suit close inspection and convenient pocket carry.
Features That Make A Practical Difference
Beam Shape & Reach
WH35RE’s diffused beam is intended for nearby work. WF11E reaches furthest in this collection at 185m, while WF30RE 2025 combines a focused beam with rechargeable power. Choose around the viewing distance the task actually needs.
Hands-Free Positioning
WH35RE keeps light with the wearer through its headband and detachable right-angle format. WF11E’s magnetic tail and clip allow positioning on suitable steel surfaces. Each gives a different way to keep both hands available.
Approved Battery Systems
WF05E uses two approved AAA alkaline batteries and WF11E uses three approved AA alkaline batteries. The two rechargeable models use the dedicated ARB-L21-3000Ex. Matching the physical battery size alone is insufficient.
Charging & Maintenance
Plan charging and battery changes in a safe area. Keep the light complete and undamaged, and follow the model’s instructions for charging equipment, inspection and maintenance.

| WF11E | 200 lm | 185m | 3 × approved alkaline AA | 160g excluding batteries | IP67 |
| WF05E | 85 lm | 54m | 2 × approved alkaline AAA | 38g excluding batteries | IP68 |
Manufacturer-Stated Zone Coverage
Zone coverage is conditional on the full certification and instructions. All four models are listed with ATEX and IECEx certification.
| Model | Gas Zones | Dust Zones |
|---|---|---|
| WF30RE 2025 | 1, 2 | 21, 22 |
| WH35RE | 1, 2 | 21, 22 |
| WF11E | 0, 1, 2 | 20, 21, 22 |
| WF05E | 1, 2 | 21, 22 |
Check The Whole Marking: Gas and dust groups, temperature classification, ambient-temperature limits and specific conditions also matter. An IP rating addresses water and dust ingress; it does not replace explosion-protection certification.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Fenix ATEX Light Should I Choose?
Confirm the required certification first. Among suitable models, WF30RE 2025 offers rechargeable handheld lighting, WH35RE suits close hands-free work, WF11E adds magnetic positioning and WF05E provides a slim pocket option.
Are All Four Models Approved For Zone 0?
Only WF11E is listed by Fenix for gas Zone 0 and dust Zone 20. The other three are listed for gas Zones 1 and 2 and dust Zones 21 and 22. The full certification and conditions still need to match the site.
Can I Use Any Battery Of The Same Size?
Use only the exact battery types approved in the model’s instructions. WF05E and WF11E specify particular alkaline cells. WF30RE 2025 and WH35RE require the Fenix ARB-L21-3000Ex rechargeable battery.
Can The Rechargeable Models Be Charged In A Hazardous Area?
Charging, opening the light and battery replacement must take place in a safe, non-hazardous area. Use the specified charging equipment, including the supplied charging protector, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Does An IP Rating Mean A Torch Is ATEX Approved?
An IP rating describes protection against dust and water ingress. Hazardous-area suitability depends on the separate explosion-protection certification and its conditions of use. Check both when selecting a light.
Are These Lights Suitable For Mining?
This collection should not be selected for mining applications. Fenix excludes underground mining from these products’ stated uses, and its WH35RE guidance also excludes open-pit mines. Obtain equipment specifically approved for the intended mining environment.
