Product Overview

This 70 watt round explosion proof LED fixture delivers 9800 lumens at 140 lumens per watt with a 5000K color temperature. It replaces 250 watt metal halide fixtures and operates on 100-277V input at 50-60Hz. The fixture measures 13.7 inches in height by 11.2 inches in diameter and weighs 20 pounds.

The housing is powder coated aluminum with a tempered glass lens. It carries a standard 5 year warranty with an optional 10 year warranty available. The fixture ships without a cord and has a gray finish.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is classified for Class 1 Division 1 and Division 2 environments in Groups B, C, and D. It is also rated for Class 2 Division 1 Groups E, F, and G, Class 2 Division 2 Groups F and G, and Class 3 locations. Zone classifications include Class I Zone 1 and Zone 2 for Group IIB plus hydrogen, as well as Zone 20, Zone 21, and Zone 22.

The IP66 rating means the fixture is sealed against dust ingress and protected against high-pressure water jets from any direction. The IK10 rating means it can withstand significant physical impact. Operating temperature range is -22°F to 122°F, allowing installation in cold storage and high-heat process areas.

The fixture is listed for wet locations under UL 1598 and UL 1598A. It carries UL844 certification along with CSA, ATEX, and IECEX certifications.

Performance and Functional Considerations

At 9800 lumens from 70 watts, this fixture provides a direct replacement path for 250 watt metal halide systems. The 120-degree beam angle produces broad light distribution suitable for general area illumination. CRI is rated at 70+.

The driver supports 1-10V dimming for integration with building management systems or manual dimming controls. Power factor exceeds 0.90 and total harmonic distortion is under 10%. Rated lifespan is 150,000 hours at L70.

Surge protection is rated at 10kV, which addresses transient voltage events common in industrial electrical environments.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Mounting options include pendant, surface, wall, and trunnion configurations. The fixture ships without a cord, so field wiring is required. At 20 pounds, structural support and mounting hardware must accommodate this weight along with any additional load from mounting accessories.

The powder coated aluminum housing and tempered glass lens are designed for long service intervals in demanding environments. The IP66 and IK10 ratings support installations where the fixture will be exposed to washdown, debris, or incidental contact.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Facilities use this fixture in areas where ignitable gases, vapors, or combustible dust are present or may be present during normal operations. Refineries, chemical processing plants, grain handling facilities, and paint spray booths are typical environments. The broad classification coverage allows the same fixture to be used across multiple hazard types within a single facility.

After installation, the 1-10V dimming input allows output adjustment to match task requirements or shift schedules. The 120-degree optic spreads light across work areas without requiring precise aiming. Maintenance personnel can hose down the fixture during washdown procedures without concern for water ingress.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is UL844 listed. It also carries CSA, ATEX, and IECEX certifications. The wet location listing covers UL 1598 and UL 1598A.

The standard warranty is 5 years. An optional 10 year warranty is available.
