Collection: Oil, Gas & Marine LED Lights

Oil, Gas & Marine LED Lighting by PrimeLights

Explosion-proof LED fixtures built for the environments where failure isn't an option — refineries, offshore platforms, petrochemical plants, marine vessels, and processing facilities operating 24/7 in the presence of flammable gases, vapors, and combustible dust.

What Is Hazardous Location Lighting?

The National Electric Code (NEC) defines hazardous locations as areas where concentrations of flammable gases, liquids, dust, or fibers create the risk of ignition or explosion when exposed to high temperatures or electrical arcing. Oil refineries, gas processing plants, offshore platforms, chemical facilities, and marine engine rooms all contain these conditions as a matter of daily operations. Every lighting fixture in these environments must be specifically rated and classified for the hazard present — standard commercial fixtures are not just inadequate, they're dangerous.

What Are Explosion Proof LED Lights?

Explosion proof lights are engineered to operate safely in environments where flammable gases, vapors, and combustible materials are present. Housed in fully sealed, ultra-durable enclosures, these fixtures are designed and rigorously tested to ensure they cannot initiate an ignition — even when exposed to extreme heat, electrical arcing, or direct contact with hazardous atmospheres. Certain fixtures are also engineered to contain an internal blast, preventing a fixture-level event from propagating into the surrounding environment.

This is fundamentally different from shatterproof lighting. Shatter-resistant fixtures use reinforced lenses to prevent breakage under heat or impact, but they are not rated for environments with flammable gases or vapors. Explosion proof fixtures are purpose-built for atmospheres where ignition sources must be eliminated entirely.

Why Oil, Gas & Marine Operations Demand Specialized Lighting

These industries operate under conditions that push every piece of equipment to its limits:

Refineries and gas processing plants run 24/7, 365 days a year, with maintenance crews, inspectors, and operators working around the clock across sprawling networks of pipelines, compressors, furnaces, and electrical systems. Every area must be reliably illuminated at all hours for safe operations, inspections, and emergency response.

Offshore platforms face the combined assault of saltwater corrosion, high winds, extreme humidity, and constant vibration — on top of the ever-present flammable gas and vapor hazards inherent to hydrocarbon extraction and processing.

Marine vessels and engine rooms subject fixtures to vibration, salt air, moisture, fuel vapors, and confined-space conditions where reliable illumination is critical for safe operation and maintenance.

Chemical and petrochemical plants house volatile compounds across multiple hazard classifications, requiring fixtures rated for the specific gases, vapors, or dusts present in each zone.

In all of these environments, lighting must deliver three things without compromise: safety compliance, reliable performance, and sufficient illumination for precision work in demanding conditions.

PrimeLights Explosion Proof LED Fixtures

Our explosion proof LED fixtures are engineered for the most extreme commercial and industrial environments — oil and gas refineries, chemical plants, offshore platforms, marine applications, laboratories, and fabrication facilities where ignitable gases and vapors are part of daily operations.

Fully sealed construction eliminates ignition risk in hazardous atmospheres, with housings rated for the specific NEC Class, Division, and Zone requirements of your facility.

Commercial-grade LED output delivers bright, uniform illumination that keeps crews safe and productive across every shift — without the warm-up delays, frequent burnouts, and excessive heat generation of legacy HID fixtures.

Extreme environment durability handles the heat, humidity, salt air, vibration, chemical exposure, and continuous operation that oil, gas, and marine environments demand.

50,000+ hour rated lifespan dramatically reduces the maintenance burden in environments where fixture access often requires scaffolding, confined space entry, or hot-work permits — making every avoided lamp change a significant operational and safety win.

5-year warranty on all explosion proof fixtures, backed by a team that understands the compliance and performance requirements of hazardous location lighting.

Hazard Classifications We Cover

Our explosion proof fixtures meet NEC classifications including:

Class I — Locations where flammable gases or vapors are present (refineries, gas plants, fuel storage, offshore platforms)

Class II — Locations where combustible dust is present (grain handling, chemical processing, metal fabrication)

Division 1 — Hazardous conditions exist under normal operating conditions

Division 2 — Hazardous conditions exist only under abnormal or fault conditions

We work with your team to match the right fixture classification to each zone in your facility, ensuring full NEC compliance across the operation.
