Hazardous Location Exit & Emergency Lighting
Exit signs and emergency lights intended for hazardous locations are engineered to operate in harsh environments that could compromise standard fixtures. Crafted from corrosion-resistant materials, certain units boast sealed enclosures suitable for outdoor use or areas exposed to water spray or moisture.
The necessity for hazardous exit signs or emergency lights extends beyond safeguarding the units themselves; it's also about protecting individuals in the vicinity. For instance, fixtures classified as Class I Division II are tailored to function in areas containing flammable gases or vapors and/or combustible dust. In such environments, a conventional fixture could inadvertently trigger an explosive reaction. Specialized emergency lights and exit signs are purpose-built for their designated environments and should always be installed in hazardous locations.
