This is the ElectroniCast analysis and forecast of global market consumption of LED-based hazardous location luminaires (explosion-proof and other evaluation levels).
Unsafe lighting is one of the most common potential sources of ignition causing and explosion. Working environments that contain explosive gases or dust are extremely volatile environments. A variety of luminaires (light fixture + LED light source) are available that are considered suitable for hazardous locations, since they prevent any possible ignition sources from being exposed to the air. In various lighting applications, hazardous locations are defined as areas that are at risk of fire or explosion due to the combined presence of electrical equipment and flammable gases or vapors, flammable liquids, combustible dusts, ignitable fibers, or other substances.
In the process of this market research project, in addition to interviewing existing customers and potential customers of LED-based hazardous location lighting, we also studied lighting manufactures with various ranges of hazardous area lighting products. The luminaires are designed for locations where explosive gases and dust are found, providing suitable lighting without enabling a risk of explosion.
The emergence of solid-state lighting (SSL) light emitting diodes (LEDs) in the general lighting industry continues to push lighting-industry vendors, as well as end-users, to consider innovative solutions (new products) to adopt hazardous location LED lighting solutions.
The light emitting diode (LED) market, despite exciting innovative devices driven by technological advances and ecological/energy-saving concerns, still faces challenges in overcoming performance/price limitations and in attracting widespread consumption.
