Mechanics weld cut and grind in this same area you want to use an Class 1 Div 1 lamp.
It makes no sense.
In area like this it is the fuel that should be controlled.

The Classified location is not the whole room just the first eighteen inches up from the floor. I've never seen a grinder fastened to the floor or to the bottom shelf of a work bench. As for the welding that can be mitigated by increasing ventilation during that operation. Simply saying that it is too expensive to comply leaves the mechanics in an impossible situation. They have to get the work done but they are not provided with the tools to work safely.
