Are Explosion-Proof Lights Anti-Corrosive

In addition to explosion-proof classifications, LED explosion-proof lights are also graded for their anti-corrosion capabilities. The explosion-proof designations generally fall into two categories: IIB and IIC. The majority of LED lights meet the more stringent IIC standard.

Regarding anti-corrosion, the ratings are bifurcated into two levels for indoor environments and three levels for outdoor settings. Indoor anti-corrosion levels include F1 for moderate and F2 for high resistance. For outdoor conditions, the classifications are W for light corrosion resistance, WF1 for moderate, and WF2 for high corrosion resistance.

This detailed classification ensures that lighting fixtures are tailored to specific environmental conditions, enhancing both safety and longevity.
