Harsh and hazardous area lighting

Education on the key factors for reliable lighting in harsh and hazardous areas, and information on how you can de-risk your lighting investment with Eaton's Crouse-Hinds series LED solutions.

Not all LED luminaires are created equal

Reliable lighting is a critical aspect of workplace safety.  Lighting systems must provide high visibility while minimizing shadows and glare to help create a safe and productive work environment for your employees.

LED solutions are well known for their improved light quality, long life, and low energy consumption, but lighting in heavy industrial applications can often present unique challenges, such as high vibration, extreme temperatures, corrosion, water, dirt and potentially explosives gases or dusts. Each of these factors can severely impact the lifetime and performance of LED fixtures.

Therefore, it is essential to partner with a lighting manufacturer with a proven track record in both industrial lighting design and harsh and hazardous area certifications.  Eaton is that partner.

Selecting the right LED fitting for MCBs

In order to ensure that miniature circuit breaker(s) (MCBs) do not trip under this ‘no fault’ scenario, it is critical to pick the right type of MCBs. This selection depends on the inrush current characteristics of the control gear/driver used in the luminaire and the type, ratings of the MCB.
