Class 1 Division 1 LED Lighting (C1, D1) is used in hazardous location areas to prevent high voltage, high amperage equipment from producing a source of ignition. A heavy-duty luminaire surrounds the spark-producing components so that if vapors or gas leak in, and are ignited, the explosion is contained. For use in general industrial and general marine applications where vapor proof or waterproof fixtures are mandated.

Explosion proof LED lighting for hazardous areas is a must-have for industries that operate in hazardous locations that deal with flammable gases and ignitable concentrations of gases or vapors. Class 1 Division 1 lighting requirements need to be carefully observed to ensure safety in these hazardous areas.
Hazardous locations are areas where the presence of flammable gases, vapors, or dust particles can cause an explosion or fire. Industries such as oil and gas, chemical, pharmaceutical, and mining are among those that operate in hazardous locations. These industries need to comply with strict safety regulations set by the National Electric Code (NEC) to ensure a safe working environment. One such regulation is the use of explosion proof light fixtures for hazardous areas.
Class 1 Div 1 lighting is designed to prevent the ignition of flammable gases or dust particles in hazardous areas. These lights are built with a rugged construction that can withstand harsh environments and prevent the release of sparks or heat that could ignite flammable substances. LED lights are ideal for hazardous areas because they produce less heat and consume less energy than traditional lighting sources, making them more efficient and cost-effective. read more about Shining a Light on Safety: Your Guide to Explosion Proof Drop Lights here.
C1 Div 1 lighting requirements are a set of regulations that specify the design, installation, and use of lighting in hazardous locations. These requirements are set by the NEC and are designed to prevent explosions or fires caused by electrical equipment. Class 1 Div 1 fixtures are required in areas where hazardous substances are present continuously or intermittently. The lighting fixture must be designed to withstand the conditions in the hazardous area and must be installed in a manner that prevents sparks or heat from escaping. read more about Where To Use Explosion Proof Lighting LED here.
Flammable gases are one of the most common hazards in hazardous locations. These gases can ignite with just a spark or heat source, causing an explosion or fire. LED explosion proof lighting is designed to prevent the release of sparks or heat that could ignite flammable gases. These lights are built with a rugged construction that can withstand harsh environments and prevent the release of sparks or heat that could ignite flammable substances.
FAQs About Class 1 Division 1 Lighting FixturesClass 1 Division 1 lighting fixtures are lighting fixtures used in hazardous work environments where the presence of flammable gases and vapors or combustible dust is possible. These fixtures are certified by the local and national authorities, and they must meet certain standards to be classified as Class 1 Division 1 fixtures. FAQs About Class 1 Division 1 Lighting Fixtures Q1: What types of hazardous locations are suitable for Class 1 Division 1 fixtures? • Combustible dust or fibers that could create a fire or explosion risk; Q2: What are the requirements for Class 1 Division 1 lighting fixtures? • The fixture must be constructed of approved materials that won’t add to the risk of ignition; Q3: What is class 1 division 1 lighting? |
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.
