We here at Flashlight University have compiled a list of the top 8 best intrinsically safe flashlights.  With the burgeoning oil and gas industry in the United States, intrinsically safe flashlights are more in demand than ever.

Intrinsically safe flashlights are designed to be used within hazardous environments where ignitable gases and vapors, dusts, or fibers can be present in the air.  What does intrinsically safe mean?  It means that the flashlight is designed not to produce sparks, or at least not to produce sparks that have enough energy to ignite the surroundings.  Click here to learn more about flashlight safety ratings and approvals.
