CEC Rules 20-302 and 20-306 distinguish classified spaces and specific fixed-lighting arrangements; a blanket C1D1 or C1D2 label is not enough. Ask for authenticated documentation showing boundaries, group and minimum ignition temperature; do not classify from a photograph or area name.

open-face and closed booths, paint rooms, mixing areas, exhaust paths and powder coating can place classified and non-classified spaces only metres apart. The process and its classification documentation determine the fixture; the industry label does not.
CEC Rules 20-302 and 20-306 distinguish classified spaces and specific fixed-lighting arrangements; a blanket C1D1 or C1D2 label is not enough. For each catalogue number, verify the Rule 20-302 boundary, ventilation, openings, gas or dust group, panel construction and mounting, plus a certification mark from an accredited Canadian certification body and any special conditions.
LEDEX compares the project documentation against product markings and calculates a layout from the exact model's IES file. You receive a fixture schedule with the supporting product documentation your project professional and inspection authority will ask for.

Recommended Products for This Industry
Why LEDEX for Paint Manufacturing & Spray Booths?
Classification-led selection
Candidate models are filtered by the documented Zone or Division, group, temperature and ambient range.
Model-specific records
We supply the certification record for the exact catalogue number and options, not a general family listing.
IES-based layout
The photometric model uses the project optics, mounting height and obstructions to predict fc/lux and uniformity.
Coordinated installation inputs
Mounting, wiring and the Rule 20-302 boundary, ventilation, openings, gas or dust group, panel construction and mounting are recorded before quotation.
