As we know, UAE has higher temperatures all year, which requires a high requirement for any electrical products for projects.

Our Sales team always got a call regarding the light installation location, because the clients sometimes think the light is easy and normal things, just purchase and install it. However, most of them do not understand different environments should install different light, especially for some hazardous areas, heavy industrial areas. If you ignore it, it will lead to a great risk.

Lighting fixtures are crucial when it comes to operating a productive industrial facility in a safe and efficient manner. In addition to providing illumination and brightness, lighting fixtures for these types of facilities must also be able to handle the highly flammable gases or vapors, combustible dust, and corrosive elements that are part of many industries.

Lighting for hazardous locations requires fixtures that are classified to withstand moisture, vapors, dust, and combustible residues. The National Electric Code or NEC classifies potentially hazardous materials and locations:

• Class 1 — locations where flammable gases and vapors are present such as in the natural gas, petroleum, and chemical industries.
• Class 2 — locations that contain combustible dusts which can be carried aloft during pulverizing processes or compacted in storage centers

There are regulations that determine the type of fixture that can be used in each location. Explosion proof lighting fixtures must be used in Class 1 and 2 locations to insure that ignition of combustible materials is never allowed in the hazardous material storage area.
Each hazardous environment has a temperature that, if exceeded, will cause ignition of any flammable or combustible material or residue. This temperature is called the “T” rating, and is a critical safety standard. All lighting fixtures in hazardous storage locations must run cooler than the T rating of the surrounding environment.

We offer a variety of LED hazardous location lighting as well as explosion-proof lighting including:

• Retrofits
• Flood lights
• Area Lights
• Low-Bay Lights
• High-Bay Lights

CESP LED Explosion Proof Light luminaires provide up to 65% savings when compared to traditional HID lighting and have a high CRI for improved visibility and clarity.
