T6 is the Lowest Temperature Rating - our unit has a surface temperature of 85 deg C or less. So it can be used in explosive atmospheres that can ignite if any surface temperature is over 85 deg C up to 100 deg C.
Peripheral lighting increases safety and accuracy in Chemical Plants, HazMat, Marine Repair and other Hazardous Areas.
Most standard flashlights or headlamps that contain an incandescent
bulb, can only be rated for T3 at best.

Each gas is associated with a temperature class based on its ignition
temperature.
The list below covers the different gases from high to low temp.
| High Surface Temperatures: | |
| T1 group | City gas, Cresol, Benzene, Methane, Propane, Toluene, Xylene - OK for incandescent bulbs |
| T2 group | Acetalacetone, Acetychloride, Butane, Butyl acetate, Cyclopentane, Ethyl acetate, Ethyl formate, Propyl acetate |
| T3 group | Acetylene, Bromobutane, Ethyl mercaptan, Diesel fuel, Aircraft fuel, Heating oils, n-Hexane, Kerosene, Naphtha, Nitroethane, Nitromethane, Octane, Petroleum (including gasoline), Sulphurous hydrogen (T3 is the last group that is OK for incandescent bulbs) |
Below is what the FoxFury Signature Intrinsic models can operate in
that other incandescent bulb headlamps can not.
T4 group - Acetaldehyde, Ethylether, Trimethylamine, Isopropylnitrate,
Butyl ether, Ethyl ether, Ethyl methyl ether, Methyl ether
T5 group - Carbon disulphide
T6 group - Ethyl nitrate
