Probably. The basic rule for Zone rated equipment in Division classified locations is Section 501.5. However, if your client has specified a particular luminaire you will need their approval to use the alternate.

Additional information: the "AEx" mark indicates the luminaire is not IEC rated; it is a mark unique to the NEC.
