Areas that contain materials that are combustible or flammable are not lit with regular kinds of lighting. They require special Hazloc lighting because regular lighting has the potential to become explosive. Not only is this type of lighting very safe, but it is more energy efficient than other types of lighting.
Hazardous location lights are designed for 3 basic types of environments, and they are for those that contain fibers, gasses or dust and powders. These are installed in locations such as oil and gas companies, pharmaceutical plants, power plants, utility companies, water treatment plants and paper processing companies.
These types of lights are also designed with durability in mind. In addition, a light’s IP code designates the level of its strength. All in all, this type of lighting serves an important purpose and gives property owners peace of mind.
