Im not real sure about this brand of lights. I have done a lot of work in coal mines and we use pelican light for our personal lights. They do meet all MSHA standards and they are gas tight and intrinsically safe.

No, but there are versions designed for use inside haazardous areas with Zone 2 or Class 1 Div ratings. Those are not "intrinsically safe" ratings. I.S. is one of many protection methods that can be used to certify a device for hazardous areas. It is the most common, but the area classifications are more important than the protection method used if you ask me. It looks to me like you need the HAZLOC version of this lamp if you need any type of Ex protection.

Not entirely sure what you mean by gas-tight, but the light is completely safe. It's just an LED, which operate at very low power levels. If you're worried about gas getting into the light and being ignited, then your fears are unfounded.
