Class 2 Div 1 LED Lighting

What Is LED Class 2 Div 1 Lighting?

Class 2 Division 1, or C2D1, is a classification of explosion ratings. It’s designed to work in explosive environments and hazardous conditions where ignitable concentrations of dust, fibers, or flyings are always present. It is not a classification of gases, vapors, and liquids, which is covered in Class 1 Division 1.
