Wolf Safety Lamp

Wolf Safety is a British company based in Sheffield that designs and manufactures ATEX and IECEx certified lighting for safe use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Its product ranges include portable ATEX lighting (handlamps, torches and headtorches), temporary ATEX lighting (luminaires, floodlites, tank lighting kits, handheld leadlamps, worklites, airlamps and warning lamps), installed and area ATEX lighting, ventilation, power distribution and accessories, along with its SOVI™ safety system. The company states it has over 100 years of industry experience and describes itself as the world's leading manufacturer of hazardous area portable and temporary lighting.

The Wolf Safety Lamp Company was established in Leeds in the 1880's as a distributor for German mining lamp manufacturer Friemann and Wolf. In 1912, the Leeds company was acquired and relocated to South Yorkshire where it began to develop safety lamps more suited to British methods and regulations of mining and quarrying. In the 1930's, compressed air operated lamps were introduced; these are still manufactured today, though much improved due to modern light source and control technology. The 1960's and 70's were a period of great change and diversification as demand for mine lighting decreased significantly, leading the company to the industrial sector; by the 1980's it had developed new industrial safety lamps including the first Wolflite handlamps and Intrinsically Safe torches. In response to the introduction in the 2000's of the ATEX directive, Wolf Safety focused heavily on developing new ATEX certified torches and integrating new LED light technology into existing and future products. In the late 2000's Wolf Safety expanded with the introduction of temporary lighting and power distribution solutions including the LinkEx™ temporary luminaires, floodlites, leadlamps and worklites. In 2012, Wolf Safety celebrated its centenary anniversary and welcomed HRH The Earl of Wessex to Saxon Road Works to unveil Wolf's Centenary plaque. The company states it has been manufacturing safety lamps in Sheffield for over 110 years, and in its Saxon Road factory for some ninety years.
