What is Hazardous Area LED Linear Lighting?

Hazardous Area Linear lights replace fluorescent-style hazardous lighting. These lights are ceiling or wall-mounted and are long and thin fixtures. They resemble what you would expect if a fluorescent light were installed inside. They are sometimes referred to as a hazardous area strip light. These lights are commonplace in hazardous environments and hazardous locations where explosive gas and dust are found.

Where Does it Make Sense to Use Hazardous Area Linear Lighting Instead of Round or Square Style Fixtures for Hazardous Areas?

By design, linear fixtures have better distribution because the LEDs are spread out over a wider area. Also, a linear fixture works well when the mounting heights are below 15 feet or for replacing a fluorescent fixture.
