The scenario:

A major gas turbine manufacturer was developing a new class of high-efficiency turbines and sought to address LED lighting and safety issues.  Known across sectors as “the industrial remote source lighting company,” RSL was approached by the manufacturer to solve a problem when no other solution was available. Their challenge was to meet OSHA safety requirements for task lighting in gas turbine enclosures where complexities like high vibration, explosive gases, and high temperatures abound.

The problem:

Conventional LED lighting systems—even those with fixtures designed for explosive and hazardous environments—cannot operate in high ambient temperatures. Unfortunately, building interiors that contain gas turbines for power generation can exceed 100°C (212°F). Since the space mus
