I have seen explosion proof, vapor proof, ignition proof (which is NOT the same as vapor proof at all) and some other terms used for various things for sale. If you look at "explosion proof light" on Amazon, some of them actually are and a lot more are apparently using that term as a style adjective more than actually being certified as safe in explosive atmospheres. Dairy barns are one customer for these lights, can't have exploding cow farts
