Explosion proof lighting is designed for use in hazardous environments where there is a risk of explosion or fire. These fixtures are designed to contain an explosion within the fixture itself, preventing it from spreading and causing further damage. Explosion proof lighting is typically used in industrial settings, such as oil and gas facilities, chemical plants, and manufacturing plants, where there is a risk of flammable gases, vapors, or dusts being present. It is also sometimes used in other environments where there is a risk of explosion or fire, such as underground mines and military facilities. Explosion proof lighting is available in a variety of styles and configurations, and is typically made of durable materials such as aluminum or stainless steel to withstand the harsh conditions of these environments.
