Hazardous Location Lighting Selection Guide
Hazardous location lighting must be selected for the specific gases, vapors, combustible dust or ignitable fibers that may be present at the jobsite. This page helps contractors, engineers and facility teams understand common classifications before choosing an LED fixture.
Class and Division Basics
- Class I: Locations where flammable gases or vapors may be present.
- Class II: Locations where combustible dust may create a hazard.
- Class III: Locations involving ignitable fibers or flyings.
- Division 1 vs. Division 2: The required division depends on how and when the hazardous material can be present.
Classification alone is not enough. Confirm the required Group, temperature code, ambient-temperature range, environmental rating, voltage and mounting method for the exact project.
