Explosion-proof lights are the safest option when you need lighting in hazardous areas where flammable gasses or vapors may be present. These durable lights are designed to contain any internal explosion and prevent the ignition of surrounding gasses.
The explosion-proof lights at Western Technology Lights use unique sealed fixtures and bulbs that meet strict manufacturing standards. The seal prevents any sparks from escaping and igniting vapors outside the fixture. They also often use lower-wattage bulbs that generate less heat, reducing the risk of overheating.
Incandescent Drop Lighting
Incandescent drop lighting is a popular explosion-proof lighting option. These lights use old-school incandescent bulbs that emit light in all directions, unlike LEDs, which direct light downward. Our Incandescent droplights provide an inexpensive yet attractive option for general-purpose lighting in hazardous locations. They are easy to install and maintain, and spare bulbs are readily available. Explosion-proof incandescent droplights fit the bill for a safe, ambient lighting solution.
