What certifications do LEDEX fixtures have for oil and gas use?

All LEDEX fixtures for oil and gas applications are UL-listed and certified for Class I Division 1 (C1D1) and Class I Division 2 (C1D2) hazardous locations. They also carry CSA certification and meet NEC and CEC compliance requirements.

How much can we save by switching to LEDEX LEDs from HPS lighting?

Facilities typically see 60%+ reduction in energy consumption, plus elimination of ongoing maintenance costs. One petrochemical plant saved $50,000 annually in maintenance alone after switching to LED.

Can LEDEX fixtures withstand offshore environments?

Yes. Our fixtures are IP67 rated (dust-tight, water immersion protected), IK09 impact rated, and built to withstand salt spray, extreme temperatures, and continuous vibration typical of offshore platforms.

What is the typical ROI timeline for an LED retrofit in oil & gas?

Most oil and gas facilities see full ROI within 18-24 months through combined energy savings and maintenance elimination. The 20+ year lifespan of LEDEX fixtures means decades of additional savings after payback.

What NEC/CEC hazardous area classifications apply to oil and gas facilities?

Oil and gas facilities typically require Class I Division 1 (C1D1) lighting in areas where flammable gases or vapors are present during normal operations, such as wellheads, drilling floors, and process areas around separators and compressors. Class I Division 2 (C1D2) lighting is required in adjacent areas where flammable concentrations only occur during abnormal conditions, including pipeline valve stations, storage terminal perimeters, and areas near tank batteries. LEDEX provides UL-listed and CSA-certified explosion-proof LED fixtures for both C1D1 and C1D2 oil and gas environments, including high bays, flood lights, and emergency lighting rated for Class I Division 1 and Class I Division 2 hazardous locations.

Reliable Lighting for Every Stage of Oil & Gas Operations

From offshore drilling platforms to onshore refineries, oil and gas operations demand lighting solutions that withstand extreme temperatures, corrosive environments, and explosive atmospheres. LEDEX explosion-proof LED fixtures are engineered to deliver reliable, high-performance illumination in the harshest conditions imaginable.

Our UL-listed, Class I Division 1 and Division 2 certified fixtures eliminate the constant maintenance burden of traditional HPS and metal halide lighting. With up to 20 years of maintenance-free operation, LEDEX LEDs reduce total cost of ownership while improving visibility, safety, and energy efficiency across your entire facility.

Oil and gas facilities are classified under NEC and CEC codes as Class I hazardous locations due to the presence of flammable gases and vapors. Class I Division 1 (C1D1) areas - where ignitable concentrations exist during normal operations - include wellheads, drilling floors, and process areas. Class I Division 2 (C1D2) areas - where hazardous conditions only exist during abnormal situations - include areas adjacent to processing equipment, pipeline valve stations, and storage terminal perimeters. LEDEX provides UL-listed explosion-proof LED fixtures certified for both C1D1 and C1D2 classifications, ensuring compliant illumination across your entire operation.

Whether you're operating upstream exploration rigs, midstream pipeline infrastructure, or downstream petrochemical refineries, LEDEX provides the certified, durable lighting solutions your operations require.

All LEDEX fixtures for oil and gas applications are tested to 5G vibration standards, ensuring reliable performance on drilling rigs, near compressor stations, and in environments with continuous heavy equipment vibration. This 5G vibration rating means our explosion-proof LED lights maintain structural integrity and optical performance even under the extreme mechanical stress found on offshore platforms and active well sites.

Application Areas

Upstream / Exploration

Offshore rigs, drilling platforms, and exploration sites requiring Class I Div 1 rated fixtures that survive vibration and extreme conditions.

Midstream / Transportation

Pipeline infrastructure, compressor stations, and storage terminals requiring Class I Division 2 (C1D2) rated LED fixtures for areas exposed to harsh weather and intermittent flammable gas hazards. Valve stations and metering facilities may require Class I Division 1 (C1D1) explosion-proof lighting where gas leaks can occur during normal operations.

Downstream / Refining

Refineries and processing plants with Class I Division 1 (C1D1) hazardous areas around distillation units, catalytic crackers, and process vessels where explosive atmospheres are continuously present. Adjacent walkways and maintenance areas are typically classified as Class I Division 2 (C1D2) zones requiring appropriately rated LED lighting.

Petrochemical

Chemical processing units within oil & gas facilities requiring T-rated, Class I Division 1 (C1D1) explosion-proof fixtures for reactor areas and process vessels. Storage and loading areas typically require Class I Division 2 (C1D2) rated lighting for safe operation in hazardous locations with intermittent flammable vapor exposure.
