Our Explosion Proof LED Jelly Jar Lights for C1D1 and C1D2 Areas | LED Lighting Supply include compact hazardous-location fixtures for indoor and outdoor installations. These jelly jar style LED fixtures are available for Class I Division 1 and Class I Division 2 areas involving hazardous or explosive conditions. Their compact form supports installation in confined locations where larger fixtures may not fit. Available mounting configurations include ceiling mounts and wall mounts. Each fixture carries a minimum IP65 rating and can be installed in wet or damp indoor and outdoor locations.
Common applications for these explosion-proof jelly jar fixtures include hallways, pathways, emergency exits, elevator shafts, and other tight locations. Ceiling-mounted configurations can be installed overhead in compact passageways, while wall-mounted configurations provide an alternative for corridors, exits, and confined industrial spaces. These fixtures combine the traditional jelly jar shape with classifications for hazardous locations and enclosure ratings for exposure to wet conditions. Indoor and outdoor configurations cover facilities requiring compact LED fixtures in C1D1 or C1D2 areas.
Explosion Proof LED Jelly Jar Lights
Explosion proof LED jelly jar lights are compact hazardous-location fixtures used in areas where a larger high bay, linear, or flood light is unnecessary. They are commonly installed in corridors, stairwells, equipment rooms, maintenance areas, entry points, platforms, and other confined or lower-ceiling spaces requiring dependable general illumination.
Our jelly jar lights include options for Class 1 Div 1 lighting and Class 1 Div 2 lighting locations. The selected fixture must match the classification of the exact installation area. A Class 1 Div 2 fixture should not be installed where Class 1 Div 1 equipment is required.
Choosing a Hazardous-Location Jelly Jar Light
Jelly jar fixtures provide compact, enclosed illumination and may be mounted on walls or ceilings depending on the model. Before ordering, confirm:
- Class and Division: Verify whether the area requires Class 1 Div 1 or Class 1 Div 2 equipment.
- Gas or vapor group: Match the fixture marking to the hazardous material identified in the area classification.
- T-rating: Confirm that the fixture’s maximum surface temperature is suitable for the material present.
- Voltage: Match the fixture driver to the available electrical circuit.
- Mounting method: Verify ceiling, wall, pendant, or bracket compatibility and available clearance.
- Light output: Select lumens based on mounting height, room size, fixture spacing, and the work being performed.
- Environmental exposure: Review ambient temperature, moisture, corrosion, dust, vibration, and washdown conditions.
Jelly jar lights are generally best for localized or lower-output illumination. Larger spaces, elevated mounting positions, or areas requiring broader coverage may be better served by explosion-proof linear lights or explosion-proof flood lights.
Explosion Proof Is Not the Same as Vapor Tight
A sealed or vapor-tight fixture is not automatically approved for a hazardous classified location. Wet-location and IP ratings address resistance to water and dust entering the enclosure. Hazardous-location approval addresses whether the fixture is suitable for the specified Class, Division, Group, and temperature conditions.
Always verify the exact product markings rather than selecting the fixture by appearance or enclosure style alone.
Certifications, Installation, and Warranty
Confirm that the selected jelly jar light carries the required hazardous-location certification and is marked for the project’s Class, Division, Group, T-rating, ambient range, voltage, and environmental conditions. Certifications and ratings vary by model.
The complete installation – including conduit, fittings, seals, junction boxes and lighting controls, grounding, and bonding – must also be suitable for the classified area. Installation should be completed by a qualified electrician experienced with hazardous locations and reviewed against applicable codes, project documents, and authority-having-jurisdiction requirements.
Many explosion proof LED jelly jar lights include a 5-year warranty unless otherwise specified. Confirm the exact product warranty, certifications, and operating limits before ordering.
