Loading... Please wait...Hazardous location lighting is used to provide guidance to an outside exit for occupants of a business in the event of an emergency. You will often see this type of lighting in many businesses, with a rectangular sign above a doorway to the outside that says “EXIT” in large red or green lettering.
Used in combination with emergency lighting, which is lighting that is powered by a battery backup, this creates safety for building occupants of businesses. This type of lighting is required for businesses that handle, process, or manufacturer materials that can be classified as hazardous, flammable, or explosive. Facilities that handle such materials are subject to higher standards – due to the fact that generic location lighting would not function under high temperature fires. Therefore, flame-retardant material is used in the production of hazardous location lighting that sets a standard for each particular material that is being manufactured.
All of the hazardous location lighting offered on our website is UL compliant and certified, includes a 5-year warranty, and meets all compliance code set forth by the OSHA administration, as well as emergency lighting law standards. Class 1 Division 1 and 2, and Class 2 Division 1 and 2 hazardous location lighting signs are UL 844, 924, 1203, and 160r Listed. The UL Listing on our products guarantees hazardous location exit sign durability and reliability. You can purchase all products from EmergencyLights.net with confidence.
Hazardous location lighting is divided in to three classes, based on the material that is being handled at the facility. Each class varies by the material that is being manufactured. For instance, higher temperature fires would require a higher degree of flame-retardant material to be used during the production of the hazardous location lighting.
Class 1 hazardous location lighting is used for facilities that handle materials such as gasoline, chemicals, and nuclear facilities. Gas stations, healthcare facilities, aircraft hangers, and these types of facilities would be included within the class 1 facility category. Class 2 hazardous location lighting is for facilities that handle or produce materials that are non-hazardous but still carry a high degree of flammability; such as coal, carbon, magnesium or aluminum powder, cocoa or candy production facilities, and similar plants. The third class is used for facilities that process or handle low-flammability products that are non-hazardous, such as cotton or clothing production facilities.
