Understanding Class 1 Div 2 Lighting Requirements
In industrial environments classified as Class 1 Division 2 by the NEC, flammable gases, vapors, or liquids are not normally present in ignitable concentrations but may occasionally exist due to abnormal operating conditions. These hazardous locations require lighting solutions that are designed to prevent the ignition of the surrounding atmosphere in case of a spark or heat generation.
The Benefits of Class 1 Division 2 Light Fixtures with LED Technology
Upgrading to LED technology for your Class 1 Div 2 lighting offers several advantages:
- Increased Safety: Class 1 Div 2 LED lighting fixtures are designed with robust construction and protective features to minimize the risk of ignition in hazardous environments.
- Energy Efficiency: LED lights consume less energy compared to traditional lighting options, resulting in lower operating costs and reduced heat generation, further enhancing safety.
- Extended Lifespan: With a longer operational life, Class 1 Division 2 LED lighting requires fewer replacements, reducing maintenance and minimizing the need for personnel to enter hazardous areas.
- Improved Visibility: Class 1 Div 2 light fixtures with LED technology provide bright, uniform illumination, enhancing visibility and safety for workers in challenging environments.
- Versatile Options: Class 1 Division 2 lighting is available in various form factors, such as high bays, linear fixtures, and pendant mounting, allowing you to customize your lighting solution to suit your specific application.
Applications for Class 1 Div 2 LED Lighting
Class 1 Division 2 lighting is crucial in various industries and applications, including:
- Oil and Gas: Refineries, processing plants, and storage facilities where flammable gases or vapors may occasionally be present.
- Chemical Processing: Areas within facilities where flammable substances are handled but are not normally present in ignitable concentrations.
- Power Generation: Battery rooms and generator areas where hydrogen gas may be present.
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Solvent handling and storage areas where flammable liquids are used but are not continuously present in hazardous quantities.
- Food and Beverage Processing: Areas where flammable vapors from alcohol-based ingredients may occasionally be released.
Selecting the Right Class 1 Division 2 Light Fixtures
When choosing Class 1 Div 2 LED lighting for your facility, consider the following factors:
- NEC Compliance: Ensure that the fixtures are certified and labeled for use in Class 1 Division 2 hazardous locations as per NEC requirements.
- Temperature Rating: Verify that the fixtures have the appropriate temperature rating (T-code) for your specific hazardous environment to prevent overheating and ignition.
- Lumen Output: Select Class 1 Div 2 light fixtures with adequate lumen output to provide the necessary illumination levels for your application.
- Mounting Options: Consider the available mounting configurations, such as surface, pendant, or pole mounting, to suit your facility’s layout and requirements.
- Durability: Opt for Class 1 Division 2 lighting fixtures with rugged construction, corrosion-resistant materials, and IP ratings suitable for your environment. Read more about The Safe Choice – Explosion Proof High Bay Lighting; here
FAQs About Class 1 Div 2 Lighting
Class 1 Division 2 lighting is a type of hazardous area lighting that is certified for use in hazardous locations. This classification is based on the National Electric Code (NEC) and is used to identify areas where there is the potential for an explosive gas mixture to exist. This lighting is specifically designed for use in areas where dangerous flammable gases, vapors, and dust are present.
Q1. What is Class 1 Division 2 Lighting?
A1. Is a type of hazardous area lighting that is certified for use in hazardous locations – is based on the National Electric Code (NEC) – where there is the potential for an explosive gas mixture to exist.
Q2. What areas require Class 1 Division 2 lighting?
A2. Designed for use in areas where dangerous flammable gases, vapors, and dusts are present. Examples of such areas include chemical processing, petrochemical, engine rooms, fuel storage and transfer areas, spray booths, and paint-drying booths.
Q3. What are the benefits of using Class 1 Division 2 lighting?
A3. C1 Div 2 lighting is advantageous because it is designed to provide reliable, safe illumination in hazardous locations where there is the potential for an explosive gas mixture to exist. It provides better illumination by producing less heat, which reduces the potential for sparks and is therefore more reliable and safer than standard lighting.
Q4. What is a “hazardous” location?
A4. hazardous location is defined as an area where a specific hazard exists, either from flammable gases, vapors, combustible dusts, or ignitable fibers or flyings. The NEC outlines three classes of hazardous locations; Class I, II, and III. Class I locations are areas where flammable gases, vapors, or liquids exist in the air in quantities sufficient to create an explosive or ignitable mixture. Class II locations are areas where ignitable dusts, fibers, and flyings are present in a quantity sufficient to create a fire or explosion hazard when suspended in air. Class III locations are areas where easily ignitable fibers and flyings are present, but the dusts are not likely to be suspended in air in sufficient quantities to ignite or explode.
Q5. What makes C1D2 lighting different from other types of lighting?
A5. Designed and tested to meet strict criteria for creating a safe environment even in hazardous area applications. This includes features like corrosion and temperature resistance, vibration and shock resistance, explosion-proof and dust-ignition proof construction, and UL/cUL/ATEX/IECEx certification. The NEC and other safety regulations specify that certain types of equipment must be installed in hazardous locations. read more about Top-Selling Explosion Proof Manufacturers, Products and Their Applications here
Q6. Can a light pole be used in Class 1 Division 2?
A6. Yes, here at LED Pros we offer several Class 1 Div 2 fixtures with pole mounting options; Slip fitter mounts, Arm mounts, and Pole mounting brackets.
