40 Watt Explosion Proof 1x2 Low Profile Linear LED Light | 5600 Lumens | Class 1 Div 2 | Class 2 Div 2 | 5000K | 100-277V

Product Overview

This 40 watt explosion proof LED linear fixture delivers 5600 lumens at 5000K color temperature in a 1x2 low profile form factor. The fixture is UL 844 listed for Class 1 Division 2 Groups A, B, C, D, Class 2 Division 1 Groups F, G, and Class 3 hazardous locations. It operates on 100-277V input at 50-60Hz and replaces 150 watt metal halide fixtures.

The housing is gray with a polycarbonate lens and measures 25.2 x 12 x 3.7 inches. Total fixture weight is 19.8 pounds. An optional integrated emergency backup module is available.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is designed for hazardous location environments where combustible gases, vapors, or dust may be present. Class 1 Division 2 coverage includes areas where flammable gases or vapors are handled but not normally present in ignitable concentrations during standard operations. Class 2 Division 1 coverage applies to locations with combustible dust present under normal operating conditions.

The operating temperature range of -22F to 122F supports use in cold storage facilities, process areas with elevated ambient temperatures, and outdoor covered hazardous locations. IP66 rating means the fixture is sealed against dust ingress and protected against high-pressure water jets from any direction. IK09 impact rating provides resistance to physical contact equivalent to a 5-kilogram impact at reasonable force.

Typical placement includes petrochemical processing areas, grain handling facilities, paint spray booth perimeters, pharmaceutical manufacturing zones, and other classified spaces requiring UL 844 listed luminaires.

Performance and Functional Considerations

At 140 lumens per watt, this fixture produces 5600 lumens from 40 watts of input power. The 120-degree beam angle provides broad distribution suited to general area illumination in panel-style mounting configurations. CRI of 70+ supports task visibility in industrial environments where color accuracy is secondary to overall illumination levels.

The driver supports 1-10V dimming for integration with building automation or manual dimming controls. Power factor exceeds 0.95 and total harmonic distortion is under 10 percent, supporting stable operation on facility electrical systems. Rated lifespan is 50,000 hours at L70, meaning the fixture maintains at least 70 percent of initial lumen output at that point.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Three mounting methods are supported: chain or cable suspension, surface mount, and recessed mount. The 1x2 form factor and low profile depth of 3.7 inches allows installation in spaces with limited ceiling clearance or where existing fluorescent panel housings are being replaced.

At 19.8 pounds, this fixture requires appropriate support hardware for suspension mounting in hazardous locations. The polycarbonate lens and sealed enclosure are designed for environments where periodic washdown or chemical exposure may occur. The 5-year warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal operating conditions.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Facilities replacing fluorescent fixtures in classified areas typically mount this fixture in the same ceiling grid locations or suspension points. The 100-277V input range allows direct connection to most industrial electrical systems without transformers. Where dimming is required, the 1-10V protocol connects to standard low-voltage dimming controllers already present in many facilities.

The optional emergency backup module provides egress lighting during power loss events, which may be required by code in certain hazardous locations. Maintenance staff working in classified environments can rely on the sealed construction to remain intact through cleaning cycles and normal environmental exposure within the rated temperature range.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is UL 844 listed for hazardous locations and NSF rated. It is rebate eligible through applicable utility programs. The 5-year warranty is provided by LED Lighting Supply.

The IP66 and IK09 ratings confirm the fixture is suitable for demanding industrial environments with moisture, dust, and physical contact hazards. All electrical components are enclosed within the sealed housing to maintain hazardous location classification integrity.
