General
What’s LED Lighting for Refineries?
We generally think of refineries as hazardous locations. Therefore, a lot of the refinery led lighting needs to be rated as explosion proof lighting. There are instances where you could use general lighting. Such as LED Wall Packs, LED Flood Lights and LED Parking Lot Lights. For indoor areas, High Bay LED Lights and office panel lights are the preferred option.
Are LED Lights Safe to Use at a Refinery?
They can be, but you have to choose the right light for the right application. If the area requires explosion proof lighting, that’s what you should install in the area. LED lights are only unsafe if you use the wrong lights for the wrong application.
What Considerations Go into LED Lights for Oil Refineries Lighting Design?
Oil refineries are rather complex areas. So the lighting design needs to take into account all the obstructions that a refinery has. This will provide the best and safest light coverage.
How Are Oil Rig Lights Different from Normal LED Lighting?
Oil rigs are dangerous environments. Installing a non-explosion proof light in this environment could prove dangerous. Do not confuse “vapor proof” lighting as a candidate to replace explosion proof lights. They are not designed to be explosion proof.
BEFORE YOU BUY
What Type of Fixtures Should You Use for Oil Platform Lighting / Oil Rig Lights / Drilling Rig Lights / Oil Field Lighting?
Strict guidelines are in place with regards to the types of lighting You can use. It will be either Class 1 Div 1 or Class 1 Div 2 rated lights.
We Need non Explosion Proof Outdoor Lighting. What Do You Recommend?
It depends on the area that needs to be lit up. For parking areas, we recommend shoebox lights. For security lighting, we recommend flood lights and even high mast lights. For building exterior lighting, we have wall packs. For interior lighting, LED panel lights will fit into a suspended ceiling.
Do I Need Explosion Proof Lighting at an Oil Refinery?
You need explosion proof lighting if the area’s considered a hazardous location. There are parts of the refinery that are not in a hazardous zone.
Do I Need Class 1 Division 1 or Class 1 Division 2 at an Oil Refinery?
That all depends on the environment. If hazardous conditions exist all the time, Class 1 Division 1 (C1D1)’s required. If hazardous conditions exist some of the time, use Class 1 Division 2 (C1D2) lighting. It’s important that you understand the environment before deciding. If unsure, C1D1 will also cover C1D2 areas.
