RAB Lighting’s Hazardous Location Luminaire

William Attardi on December 31, 2024

Engineered for harsh-environment applications, the HAZPAN can withstand use in the presence of flammable vapor, gases, and ignitable dust/fibers. They’re built for use in marine and hose-down environments, and ideal for manufacturing plants, chemical facilities, loading docks, and paper mills. The HAZPAN is offered in 1×4, 2×4, and 2×2 models, each available in two wattages and a bright 5000K for maximized visibility. Battery backup is available for all three sizes. The HAZPAN comes standard with both suspension chains and ceiling mount brackets out of the box, with aircraft cable tethers included for additional support. A mounting kit is also available for recessed use in a ceiling or grid. Available as a separate accessory, the HAZMVS is a microwave sensor engineered for hazardous location use. HAZPAN Hazardous Low Bay – RAB Lighting

That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind – The last time human beings headed moonward was on the Apollo 17 flight that launched Dec. 7, 1972—before any of the Artemis II crew members were born. Today’s crew will not land on the moon—they won’t even orbit the moon. But they will whip around the lunar far side, on a shakedown mission test-flying the Orion spacecraft. This is essential preparatory work for achieving NASA’s bigger lunar goals. Next year there will be another test flight in low Earth orbit during the flight of Artemis III, followed by up to two moon landings by Artemis IV and V in 2028, and annual landings thereafter. Unlike the Apollo program, Artemis aims not just for the so-called flags-and-footprints model of short, one- to three-day stays on the moon, but for a long-term presence at a long-term moon base in the south lunar pole, where deposits of ice can provide drinkable water, breathable oxygen, and oxygen-hydrogen rocket fuel. Very much like the Apollo program, Artemis finds itself in a closely watched moon race, not with the old Soviet Union this time, but with China, which has announced its intention to have astronauts on the moon by 2030. The U.S. is not going it alone this time, however. While Apollo was an entirely American enterprise, Artemis flies under the flag of 60 countries, signatories to the Artemis Accords, an international pact whose members vow to support the peaceful exploration of space and contribute money, modules, and astronauts to the Artemis cause.
