    Style B

    Safely light up large spaces where combustible gases and dust are normally present. Rated NEC Class I and II, these lights have a housing that contains any sparks or flames and seals out ignitable gases, vapors, and dust. They’re rated T5, an NEC hazardous location temperature classification. This means their surface temperature stays below 212° F to prevent them from reacting with nearby flammable substances. Made of lightweight, durable aluminum with a tempered glass lens, they withstand bumps and rough handling. They’re often used in chemical processing, refineries, and paint spray booths.
    Unless noted, the plug and power supply on these lights are outdoor rated but are not explosion-proof rated. Electrical connections must be made outside the hazardous environment.
    Explosion-Proof Power Supply—Lights with an explosion-proof power supply have a sealed enclosure, so you can make safe electrical connections within the hazardous environment. Their power supply and plug are explosion-proof rated.
    Style A—Style A can withstand extreme weather and washdowns. Rated NEMA 6P, you can plunge them 6 ft. underwater for 24 hrs. and they’ll still work. They’re easy to move around since they weigh just 10 lbs. Rubber bumpers prevent damage if they’re bumped or dropped.
    Style B—Style B are rated NEC Class III for use in areas with ignitable concentration of combustible fibers and other particles. Rated IP67, they’re dust tight and you can plunge them in 3 ft. of water for 30 mins. and they’ll still work. They won’t spark if dropped and they resist corrosion from salt water and wet conditions.

    Explosion-Proof String Work Lights

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Portable Work Lights. Explosion-Proof String Work Lights.
    Safe to use in areas with ignitable concentrations of flammable or combustible gases, vapors, liquids, and dust, these lights are rated NEC Class I, Class II, and Zone 1. Their housing contains fire and sparks, so they don’t ignite what’s in your environment. They’re often used in refineries, mines, and paint booths. Rated IP66, they’re also dust tight and sealed against sprays of water such as those used in washdowns. Since each head weighs less than 2 lbs., they’re easy to hang overhead. Each head has two straps for mounting on pipes, beams, or other surfaces.
    These lights come with a standard three-prong plug, so electrical connections must be made outside of the hazardous environment. Alternatively, you can add a hazardous location plug.
    Hazardous Location Rating—Hazardous location environmental ratings indicate where manufacturers have included safety features in products to facilitate their safe use in hazardous environments. Before selecting a product for a hazardous location, ensure it is rated for your environment.

    Style A

    Style B

    Bring light to explosion-prone work areas. Rated NEC Class I, these lights are safe to use in areas with ignitable concentrations of flammable or combustible gases, vapors, and liquids. The housing of these lights contains fire and sparks, so they don’t ignite what’s in your environment. They’re often used in mines and underground drilling. All also meet NEMA 4X, meaning they withstand spraying liquid, resist corrosion, and keep out dust. Use the hook to hang them where you need them. These lights come with a standard three-prong plug, so electrical connections must be made outside of the hazardous environment. Alternatively, you can add a hazardous location plug.
    Style A—Style A weigh less than 2 pounds, so you can hold them without your hand and arm tiring. Rated IP66, they’re dust tight and sealed against washdowns. A protective lens keeps the LEDs from getting damaged while diffusing light evenly. Their compact design fits in narrow and low-clearance spaces. Add a mounting clamp to clip to a pipe or other surface. The clamp swivels so you can aim the light where you need it.
    Style B—Style B are rated NEC Class II for use in areas with combustible dust. The guard and hook are made of copper-free aluminum, which minimizes the chance of creating sparks if you drop or bump them. To stand up to frequent use, a tempered borosilicate glass lens protects the bulb and the handle is made of impact-resistant glass.
    Hazardous Location Rating—Hazardous location environmental ratings indicate where manufacturers have included safety features in products to facilitate their safe use in hazardous environments. Before selecting a product for a hazardous location, ensure it is rated for your environment.
