Clear answer
Clear answer, explained.
Key requirements focus on safe installation, heat management, and system protection . LED fixtures must be certified (e.g. CSA or equivalent) and installed with appropriate clearances from combustible materials. Electrical components such as drivers and wiring must be correctly rated and protected. In industrial environments, additional considerations may include hazardous location ratings (for explosive atmospheres), proper cable management, and integration with emergency lighting systems . Regular inspection and compliance checks are also required to maintain safety over time.
