light in Hazardous areas 1

[zinki]

Hello everyone،

I would like to know why in the practice of engineering studies in Hazardous areas، they change the LED light to HPS light

The attachment says the opposite. They change from HPS to LED lights.

HPS is an arc-type of light. If the glass shatters, you have an open arc. I'm guessing that is why they want to go with LED lights, but that is just a guess.

The light fixture must be approved for the hazardous location, whether HPS or LED.
HPS in any location is typically replaced with LED for efficiency and energy saving.

Extended warm-up time can also be a consideration.

I am curious though as to why this question was posted in a motors and generator engineering forum . . .
