Explosion Proof LED Paint Booth Lighting Case Study

Paint Booth Lighting Case Study

In this case study, we delve into a specific scenario involving a paint booth that sought to optimize its lighting conditions. Recognizing the critical nature of their operations, the client turned to us for an advanced lighting solution. After careful assessment, our team recommended the use of our cutting-edge LED explosion-proof vapor-tight lights, tailored to meet the unique requirements of such environments.

Given that paint possesses combustible properties, prioritizing safety was paramount. To address this, our seasoned lighting experts pinpointed the class 1 division 2 light fixtures as the ideal fit. These fixtures were not only designed to provide optimal illumination but also to uphold the highest safety standards, ensuring a risk-free operational environment within the booth.

Paint Booth Lighting Design

Here’s an example of the 3D paint booth lighting photometric design conducted by our professional lighting engineers. In this example nine 60W LED Explosion Proof 1×4 Vapor Proof Lights were used on a 40×8 foot paint booth with 9 foot ceilings. The fixtures were mounted on the wall and provided a maximum of 290 foot candles with a uniformity of 1.22-3.96.
