Lighting in Spray Booths Q. I'd like to find out more about the lighting regulations for spray booths.
It would really help us if we could have a portable light, right by our work
so that we could see the coating hitting the part - very helpful to get an even
job done. I just don't know if this is legal. Do you know if there are any flex-conduit
wiring systems that are rated for hazardous conditions so that I can wire in
a movable explosion proof lamp?
A. If you want to have portable lighting in your spray booth you are obligated
to use explosion-proof lighting. This can be expensive, but you have little
choice.
I suggest that you go to http://www.ldpi-inc.com/
where you will find all types of lighting for your needs.
Best wishes,
