These kinds of lighting refer to a type of lighting fixture or enclosure capable of containing sparks arising from inside,
preventing any explosion when it reacts with any explosive material or gases in the surrounding atmosphere. As against
popular belief, the explosion-proof does not mean that these lights are resistant to explosions. Instead, they are crafted
to restrain the path of sparks and prevent external ignition in hazardous areas.
These safety lights are typically enclosed in a thick frame usually made up of aluminum or stainless steel. Besides
sturdy encasing, the thicker glass lenses further protect it from cracks and leaks, as a result of working in harsh
environments.
