Global Hazardous Location Lighting Market Definition

A hazardous location Lighting is a light or fixture that is put in an area where hazardous materials may come into contact with lighting fixtures, potentially causing a fire. These materials could be fibers, gases, dust, or vapors, and they could be flammable, combustible, or ignitable. In some cases, electrical equipment may also pose a fire hazard. There are several classifications for hazardous places. The usage of space is divided into divisions, classes, and groups, each with its own set of norms and restrictions. Understanding the differences allows lighting distributors to provide LED lighting alternatives tailored to dangerous areas within buildings.

Electric illumination was considered safer than all other luminous methods. However, there still lingered some valid concerns about the ignition potential of hot filaments in the open air in mine when bulbs are broken. According to an ignition test conducted by USBM, it was found that the exposed and electrified filament caused ignition in atmospheres with as little as 5% natural gas. This testing led to redesigning the bulb clip on mining lamps in a way to instantly disconnect the bulb from the power source and the filament allowed it to quickly cool, thus preventing ignition of the surrounding atmosphere.

Therefore, various tests and research aided in changes and advances in technology in lighting technology for hazardous locations. Presently, hazardous location lighting has advanced to its current state by using numerous proven safety techniques and widely available light source technology. Hazardous location lighting has further joined forces in the process of digitalizing industrial lighting technology, leading to the introduction of energy-efficient integrated light management solutions.

Global Hazardous Location Lighting Market Overview

Hazardous location lighting has been shaping its demand in the global market owing to its capacity of operating and performing safely in all sorts of abnormally hazardous locations. Elaborately, industrial revolution 4.0 is getting extremely adopted in the global market.

This revolution has led to the formation of various forms of hazardous areas that need adequate lighting systems as flammable gasses or vapors getting released.

Moreover, with the growing importance of workplace safety, governments from different nations have been working towards mandating the use of proper lighting in hazardous areas. Hazardous workplace conditions can vary differently which means a comprehensive rating system becomes necessary to ensure a safe work environment. As a result, the introduction of hazardous zones by NEC US and divisions by IEC along with various industry and regulatory standards including ATEX/IECEx/UL certification have been put in place. These standards define the criteria for designating a work area as hazardous and understanding which type of light is right for a specific workplace. Such stringent norms have been significantly contributing to enlarging the consumer base for hazardous location lights.

Hazardous location lights are predicted to be in high demand with the growing investments in significant end-user industries such as oil & gas, mining, steel manufacturing, and power. Additionally, rising risks of safety and security in public transportation including railways have further made the authorities think regarding the lighting and control measures required for safe working conditions. Along with this, growing defense spending in various nations to facilitate military personnel with required safety equipment is further propelling the need for hazardous location lights. However, growing concerns regarding the quality of diodes which is highly dependent on the ambient operating temperature are expected to pose several challenges for the manufacturers. Thus, market players are expected to overcome this shortcoming in several appropriate product launches.
