Class 1 Div 1 LED Hazardous Location Lights

Explosion proof LED lights are especially designed for hazardous locations. These luminaries are made of toughened glass lens, and created for work areas and they are built to perform efficiently and economically in areas where there is difficult to perform. Such areas need high quality, safe and efficient lighting systems with added features of safety and security.

The explosion proof lighting, such as high bay and high mast flood lamps, are highly efficient and have life expectancy of more than 80,000 hours. The class 1 div 1 LED lighting is used for a variety of applications such as for general lighting, emergency lighting systems, floodlights, and hand lamps inside the hazardous areas such as factory, warehouse, and foundry plants. LED is a good to replace metal halide, mercury or high-pressure sodium because this light works under explosive and high ambient temperature areas.

Why LED lights are explosion proof?

The explosion proof LED lights are UL rated class 1 division 1, and are the toughest ones because they are to be used in the harsh and hazardous environments. These lights have high lumens rating and are portable and purpose built. The LED lights are also called as hazard location lighting and are designed to eliminate sparking and other types of explosion in the dangerous environments.

1. Designed for Class 1 Div 1 Locations

The explosion proof lighting, or Class 1 Div 1 LED lighting, is designed for confined and narrow spaces particularly for cleaning the fuel cells or vessels, marine work areas, plant turn-around, and paint booths etc. The explosion proof light fixtures manufacturers design these lights especially with a durable casing that is shock and impact proof. The tempered glass lenses are made to resist shattering and other types of shocks that can be caused due to the hazardous environment. These are the reasons why the LED lighting works under explosion.

2. Heat Dissipation

There is no difficult seeing in confined and narrow spaces because the illumination mechanism of these lights is bright enough and uniformly distributed. The thermal control mechanisms of these LED lights are so effective that they don’t get affected from sparks or even explosions. The heat energy created in such environments is dissipated actively and passively and are not collected in the fixtures. This maintains the temperature of the hazardous location LED lights and prevents them from being damaged. The explosion proof LED high bay lighting is widely used in such environments where added security and safety is needed.

3. Solid-state LED Design

The solid-state illumination mechanism used in the class 1 div 1 LED lights is built to generate very less heat as compared to normal LED lights and thus it is ideal to be used in locations such as industries and manufacturing facilities where there is a warm environment. The control circuitry of these lights is built by the explosion proof light fixtures manufacturers in such a way that heat is dissipated automatically. Some lights make use of double folded aluminum fins and copper free housings to improve the explosion proof characteristics of them.

4. Dust-proof Lighting for Hazardous Location

The explosion proof flood lamps are also designed in such a way that they automatically remove any type of ignition and sparking sources from the ignitable components like dusts, volatile vapors, and fibers present in the atmosphere. The fixtures are not always sealed from the flammable sources and they might enter these fixtures, but the lighting system in designed very well and to prevent any damage.
