SafeGlo™

In hazardous industrial environments, inadequate or improperly positioned lighting can create significant operational and safety challenges. Poor visibility around equipment, pipework, walkways, access routes, and maintenance areas can negatively affect inspections, maintenance activities, workforce safety, and operational efficiency.

SafeGlo™ was established to address a longstanding limitation of conventional explosion-proof lighting. Traditional hazardous-area luminaires are designed primarily for open-area illumination and often struggle to provide effective coverage in tight spaces, around complex infrastructure, along long walkways and in close-contact work zones where visibility is critical.

Developed by Clear Lighting, SafeGlo™ delivers a new approach to hazardous-area illumination through the world’s first certified flexible explosion-proof LED strip lighting system. Designed to provide continuous linear illumination precisely where it is needed, SafeGlo™ helps operators reduce shadows, minimise dark spots and improve visibility throughout challenging industrial environments.

Green flexible LED strips define pipe equipment boundaries and improve visibility across oil platforms.

Handrail-mounted LED strips guide crews between offshore decks with clear, continuous hazardous area illumination.

Hazardous area LED strip lighting supports safer night maintenance around tanks, vessels, and process equipment.

Pier handrail lighting creates a clear path for oil terminal crews during night-time boarding and transfer work.

Vertical explosion-proof LED strips mark the oil storage level in different color and improve tank-farm visibility after dark.

Clear Lighting is an ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001:2018-certified manufacturer based in China, specialising in advanced LED lighting technologies for hazardous industries. Drawing on years of experience in industrial lighting design and engineering, the company recognised an opportunity to solve a root cause behind many hazardous-area visibility challenges: inadequate and improper lighting.

Our manufacturing and research operations are based within our dedicated industrial facility in Huizhou, China, where engineering, product development and production activities are carried out under strict quality management systems. Ongoing investment in research and development continues to drive product refinement and the continued expansion of the SafeGlo™ range.

Supporting offshore and energy operations

Lighting plays a critical role across the offshore and oil and gas value chain. From offshore production platforms and FPSOs to refineries, petrochemical facilities and storage terminals, operators rely on continuous illumination to support inspections, maintenance activities and safe movement throughout the site.

Typical applications include:

• Offshore platforms and FPSOs
• Refineries and petrochemical facilities
• Tank farms and storage terminals
• Marine and tanker operations
• Industrial processing plants
• Pipe racks and conveyor systems
• Walkways, stairways and access routes
• Equipment skids and modular processing units

Many of these environments present unique challenges. Space constraints, complex equipment layouts and harsh operating conditions can make it difficult for conventional lighting systems to provide uniform coverage.

Areas around pipework, valves, processing equipment, handrails, control panels and access structures often require lighting solutions that can adapt to the environment rather than forcing the environment to adapt to the lighting.

SafeGlo™’s approach focuses on providing certified lighting solutions that integrate seamlessly into these challenging spaces while maintaining the safety standards required for hazardous-area operations.

SafeGlo™’s smart approach to hazardous-area lighting

Many hazardous-area lighting systems remain bulky, rigid and difficult to adapt to the realities of modern industrial infrastructure. Pipe racks, confined spaces, access walkways, equipment skids, loading facilities and process areas often contain blind spots or uneven lighting that can impact visibility and operational safety.

SafeGlo™ was developed to provide a more practical and adaptable approach.

SafeGlo™’s flagship product is recognised as the world’s first certified flexible explosion-proof LED strip lighting system. Unlike traditional hazardous-area luminaires, the SafeGlo™ system can be installed around complex structures, curves, edges and equipment, allowing operators to deliver illumination precisely where it is required.

The result is continuous linear illumination with fewer shadows, improved coverage across long runs and greater visibility in areas where conventional fixtures are often difficult to position effectively.

This flexibility has made the technology particularly relevant for offshore and oil and gas applications, where infrastructure layouts are complex, and lighting systems must withstand demanding operating conditions.

SafeGlo™ products and technology

SafeGlo™’s product portfolio centres on its flexible explosion-proof LED strip lighting technology for hazardous environments. Designed specifically for industrial and energy applications, the system combines certified safety performance with installation flexibility not typically associated with conventional explosion-proof fixtures.

The SafeGlo™ range is suitable for a variety of applications across offshore platforms, drilling facilities, petrochemical plants, tank farms, marine vessels and industrial processing sites.
