Hazardous area lighting has developed over centuries, from the first miners’ safety lamps in the early 1800s, to incandescent electric lighting in the 1900s. In the 2000s, new technologies like LEDs have allowed hazardous area lighting to progress even further.

In our latest article we review ‘well glass’ and ‘high bay’ harsh and hazardous lighting, their maintenance and their uses for on-scene illumination.
