Maintaining regulatory compliance when illuminating work areas designated as hazardous locations represents a challenging and often expensive endeavor. The selection of compliant equipment and the institution of safe practices while sensible and mandatory, has to date been a weak area of return on investment outside of accident and damages avoidance. Exacerbating this issue is the fact that energy consumption in industrial and commercial operations accounts for a significant portion of overall operating expenses, while compliant equipment is typically designed and engineered with approval and compliance as primary goals and efficiency given far less importance.
