Understanding Class 1 Div 1 Lighting
In industrial environments classified as Class 1 Division 1 by the NEC, flammable gases, vapors, or liquids are present in sufficient quantities to create an explosive or ignitable atmosphere. These hazardous locations require specialized lighting solutions that are designed to contain any internal sparks or heat, preventing them from igniting the surrounding atmosphere.

The Importance of Class 1 Division 1 LED Lighting
Upgrading to LED technology for your Class 1 Div 1 lighting offers several benefits:
- Enhanced Safety: Class 1 Division 1 LED lighting fixtures are designed with explosion-proof enclosures and sealed components, minimizing the risk of ignition in hazardous environments.
- Energy Efficiency: LED lights consume less energy than traditional lighting options, resulting in lower operating costs and reduced heat generation, further enhancing safety.
- Longer Lifespan: With an extended operational life, Class 1 Div 1 LED lighting requires fewer replacements, minimizing maintenance and reducing the need for personnel to enter hazardous areas.
- Improved Visibility: Class 1 Division 1 light fixtures with LED technology provide bright, uniform illumination, enhancing visibility and safety for workers in demanding environments.
- Durability: Constructed with rugged materials and designed to withstand harsh conditions, Class 1 Div 1 lighting fixtures offer reliable performance in challenging industrial settings.
Applications for Class 1 Div 1 Light Fixtures
Class 1 Division 1 lighting is essential in various industries and applications, including:
- Oil and Gas: Offshore platforms, refineries, and processing plants where flammable gases or vapors are regularly present.
- Chemical Processing: Facilities handling volatile substances and flammable solvents.
- Paint and Coating Operations: Spray booths and mixing areas where ignitable concentrations of flammable liquids or vapors are used.
- Grain and Dust Handling: Silos, elevators, and processing areas where combustible dust may be present in the air.
- Wastewater Treatment: Pumping stations and digesters where methane and other flammable gases can accumulate.
Selecting the Appropriate Class 1 Div 1 Lighting
When choosing Class 1 Division 1 light fixtures for your facility, consider the following factors:
- NEC Compliance: Ensure that the fixtures are certified and labeled for use in Class 1 Division 1 hazardous locations as per NEC requirements.
- Explosion-Proof Rating: Verify that the fixtures have the appropriate explosion-proof rating for your specific hazardous environment, such as gas groups and temperature codes.
- Lumen Output: Select Class 1 Div 1 light fixtures with sufficient lumen output to provide the necessary illumination levels for your application.
- Mounting Options: Consider the available mounting configurations, such as pendant, surface, or portable, to suit your facility’s layout and requirements.
- Maintenance Requirements: Opt for Class 1 Div 1 lighting fixtures that are easy to maintain and have readily available replacement parts to minimize downtime during repair or maintenance operations.

Class 1 – Hazardous locations or areas where flammable gases or vapors are/could become present in concentrations suitable to produce explosive and/or ignitable mixtures. Class 1 locations are further divided into 2 divisions:
Class 1 Div 1: Three different situations could exist to classify an area as a Class 1 Division 1 location.
- When the atmosphere of an area or location is expected to contain explosive mixtures of gases, vapors, or liquids during normal working operations. (This is the most common C1, Div 1)
- An area where ignitable concentrations frequently exist because of repair or maintenance operations.
- The release of ignitable concentrations of gases or vapors due to equipment breakdown, while at the same time causing electrical equipment failure.
