Hazardous Location Lighting

LED fixtures in ceiling, pendant, stanchion and wall mount configurations for hazardous location applications.

Home › Lighting Products › Hazardous Location Lighting

Hazardous location lighting is specified by the classification of the space it goes into, not by preference. Getting that classification right is the whole job, and it is decided by the facility and its engineer, not by the fixture catalog. Browse the range below, and talk to us before you order.

How Is a Hazardous Location Fixture Selected?

The area classification comes first. It describes what flammable material may be present, how likely it is to be present, and under what conditions. That classification is determined by the facility and its engineering team.
Only once the classification is established does the fixture selection follow, because a fixture is listed for specific classifications and not for others. This is one area where substituting something that looks equivalent is not acceptable.

What Mounting Configurations Are Available?

Ceiling mount fixtures sit flush or close to the structure above. Pendant mount hangs the fixture down to bring it closer to the working plane in a high space.
Stanchion mount puts the fixture on a rigid arm off a wall or a column, which suits process areas where a ceiling mount is impractical. Wall mount handles perimeter and entry lighting. LED Spot stocks all four.

Why Use LED in These Applications?

Access is the reason. Hazardous location fixtures are frequently in places that require a permit, a shutdown or specialist equipment to reach. Anything that reduces how often a crew has to go up there has outsized value.
LED fixtures hold their output far longer than the sources they replace and have no lamp to change on a cycle, so the maintenance interval stretches out considerably.

What Should You Confirm Before Ordering?

The area classification, the mounting configuration, the supply voltage available at the fixture, and any temperature rating that applies to the space.
Send those four and we can identify what is suitable. If any of them are unconfirmed, that is the thing to resolve first, because a fixture ordered against the wrong classification cannot be made right afterward.

Frequently Asked Questions

It follows from the area classification of the space, which is determined by your facility and its engineering team. Once the classification, the mounting configuration, the voltage and any temperature rating are confirmed, the fixture selection follows from those.

Ceiling mount, pendant mount, stanchion mount and wall mount LED configurations.

Access. These fixtures are often in places that need a permit or a shutdown to reach, so extending the maintenance interval is worth a great deal. LED holds output far longer and has no lamp to change on a cycle.

No. Fixtures are listed for specific classifications and a standard fixture is not suitable regardless of how similar it appears. This is a safety requirement, not a preference.

The area classification, the mounting configuration you need, the supply voltage at the fixture, and any applicable temperature rating.

No. The area classification is determined by your facility and its engineer. We supply fixtures against a classification you provide.
