LED Lights for Class 2 Division 1 Hazardous Locations

What is LED Class 2 Div 1 Lighting?

Class 2 Division 1, or C2D1, represents one of the most stringent hazardous location ratings in industrial lighting. Based on our 17 years of experience in commercial lighting, we've seen these fixtures deployed in environments where ignitable concentrations of dust, fibers, or flyings are always present during normal operations. Unlike Class 1 ratings that address gases, vapors, and liquids, Class 2 Division 1 specifically targets combustible particulate hazards that pose continuous ignition risks.

Will Class 1 Division 1 Certified Light Work in a Class 2 Division 1 Environment?

Most of our Class 1 Division 1 rated fixtures carry dual certification for both Class 1 and Class 2 Division 1 applications, specifically covering Groups E, F, G. We typically recommend verifying the specific rating label on each fixture, but our C1D1 inventory generally handles C2D1 requirements without issue. This dual certification approach saves our customers from maintaining separate fixture inventories for different hazardous classifications.

Will Class 1 Division 2 Lighting Work in a Class 2 Division 1 Environment?

The answer varies by specific fixture model and group classification. Many fixtures in our Class 1 Division 2 lineup carry additional C2D1 certification, though this coverage typically extends only to Groups E, F and G. When planning installations, we recommend confirming the exact rating requirements with your facility's electrical engineer, as mixing Division 1 and Division 2 requirements can create compliance gaps.

What are Groups E, F, and G Associated with Our Class 2 Division 1 Light?

Group classifications define the specific types of combustible materials present in your work environment:

• Group E environments contain combustible metal dusts including aluminum, magnesium, titanium, and other commercial alloys commonly found in metalworking and manufacturing facilities.
• Group F locations handle combustible carbon-based materials such as coal dust, charcoal powder, and carbon black used in industrial processing.
• Group G covers all other combustible dusts not classified above, including wood flour, grain dust, sugar, flour, and plastic powders typical in food processing and woodworking operations.

How Do I Know if Your Class 2 Division 2 LED Lighting is Certified and Compliant?

Every hazardous location fixture we supply undergoes rigorous testing under the UL844 standard, which establishes safety requirements for electrical equipment in hazardous locations. Each product specification clearly identifies the exact Classes, Divisions, and Groups covered by its certification. We also provide the complete UL listing information and certification numbers with every fixture shipment, ensuring your facility maintains proper documentation for safety inspections and insurance compliance.
