Overview
The Class 2 Division 2 Emergency Light is designed to remain operational in hazardous environments that contain combustible dust. In these situations, traditional emergency lights would ignite the flammable materials and possibly cause an explosion. Fixtures like this are commonly installed in oil refineries, paint shops, chemical plants, and any other facility that uses or stores flammable particles. The Class 2 Division 2 name comes form the NEC's rating system that defines class according to what type of materials it will be exposed to and division by the operating conditions. Class 2 is rated for flammable dust, while division 2 is rated for use in abnormal operating conditions, like a spill or leak.
The Class 2 Division 2 Emergency Light is housed by an impact resistant fiberglass that is designed to keep internal electrical components safe from hazardous elements. It also uses stainless steel external hardware for increased durability. Two PAR 36 halogen lamps are mounted on the top of the unit and powered by a lead calcium battery. This battery will provide at least 90 minutes of emergency illumination when AC power is cut. This fixture comes standard with a push button battery testing system, but a self testing option is available. This feature automatically runs a test every month and year to comply with OSHA regulations.
