A hazardous location is any area where flammable gases, vapors, dust, or fibers are present in the atmosphere. These environments are classified by the NEC and OSHA as Class I, II, or III, and further divided into Division 1 or 2 based on the likelihood of hazardous materials being present during normal operations.
Class I Division 1 zones have explosive gases or vapors present under normal conditions. Class I Division 2 zones only become hazardous during abnormal conditions—such as equipment failure, spills, or leaks.
Yes. According to NFPA 101 and UL 924, all emergency lights—including explosion proof emergency lights—must provide at least 90 minutes of battery backup during power outages.
Absolutely. Many industrial emergency lights are sealed to NEMA 4X or IP66/IP67 standards, making them suitable for outdoor, marine, wash-down, or corrosive areas such as oil refineries, gas stations, and food-processing plants.
Yes. Most hazardous location emergency lights use energy-efficient LED lamp heads for maximum visibility, longer lifespan, and reduced maintenance compared to halogen models.
Your classification depends on the type of hazardous materials and how often they’re present. For example, spray paint booths often require Class I Div 1, while storage areas with infrequent vapor exposure might fall under Class I Div 2. Always consult your site’s safety engineer or AHJ for proper classification.
