200 / 240 / 300 Watt LED Food Grade UFO Light | 30000 to 45000 Lumens | 3000K / 4000K / 5000K | 100-277V | NSF Rated

Product Overview

This LED Food Grade UFO Light is designed for high-output, NSF-rated illumination in food processing, commercial kitchen, and clean room environments. The fixture offers selectable wattages of 200, 240, or 300 watts, delivering up to 45,000 lumens with color temperature options of 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K. The housing is engineered for use in areas requiring frequent washdown and strict hygiene standards, with an IP69K rating for high-pressure cleaning.

Typical installations include food production lines, meat processing areas, and beverage packaging facilities where contamination control and robust performance are required. The fixture is suitable for mounting heights from 18 to 40 feet, replacing legacy 400W metal halide units in demanding food and beverage environments.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture provides three selectable output levels: 30,000, 36,000, or 45,000 lumens, with an efficacy of 150 lumens per watt. The 90° beam angle delivers focused, uniform coverage for task-critical areas. 0-10V dimming is standard for integration with lighting controls or occupancy sensors. The fixture operates on 100-277V input and maintains consistent performance across the full voltage range.

At lower mounting heights, the highest output setting may produce excessive brightness or glare. For installations above 35 feet, uniformity may decrease if spacing is not adjusted to match the output level and beam distribution.

Adjustability and Control Options

Both wattage and color temperature are field adjustable, allowing adaptation to changing facility requirements or process changes. The fixture includes a motion sensor for occupancy-based control, supporting energy savings and compliance with facility protocols. 0-10V dimming enables integration with building management systems or standalone controls.

Adjustments are accessible without removing the fixture from its mounting, minimizing downtime during commissioning or reconfiguration. Color temperature can be set to 3000K, 4000K, or 5000K to match visual inspection needs or operator preference.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 150,000 hours (L70), supporting long-term operation in continuous-use environments. The die-cast aluminum housing and polycarbonate lens withstand repeated washdowns, chemical exposure, and thermal cycling. Surge protection to 6kV is standard, reducing risk of failure from electrical disturbances.

Operating temperature range is -40°F to 140°F, suitable for refrigerated, ambient, or high-activity food processing zones. The fixture maintains lumen output and color stability over its service life, minimizing maintenance intervals and unplanned downtime.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The fixture measures 17 x 5.6 inches and weighs 9.5 lbs, supporting single-person installation. The white, die-cast aluminum housing is corrosion resistant and NSF rated for food zone use. The polycarbonate lens is impact resistant and designed for easy cleaning.

IP69K ingress protection allows for high-pressure, high-temperature washdown. The fixture is supplied with a 4-foot cord and eye-hook mounting for secure attachment to ceiling structures or food-grade mounting hardware.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for environments requiring NSF-rated, high-output lighting with robust washdown capability. It is commonly installed in:

• food processing facility lighting
• commercial kitchen lighting
• food production lighting
• clean room lighting
• washdown lighting
• meat processing lighting
• beverage production lighting
• packaging facility lighting

Environments with frequent cleaning, airborne moisture, or contamination risk benefit from the fixture?s sealed construction and NSF certification. The fixture is suitable for both ambient and task lighting in food and beverage production areas.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Eye-hook mounting supports direct attachment to ceiling trusses, strut, or food-grade suspension systems. The fixture?s weight and dimensions allow for single-person handling in most installations. The 4-foot cord provides flexibility for connection to overhead power drops or conduit boxes.

Routine cleaning can be performed with high-pressure water or sanitizing agents, as the fixture is IP69K rated. All adjustments for wattage and color temperature are accessible from the exterior, reducing the need for fixture removal during maintenance or reconfiguration.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 18 to 40 feet, depending on the output setting and required light levels. Spacing is determined by the selected wattage and beam angle, with higher output settings allowing for wider spacing but potentially increasing glare in low-ceiling areas.

Fixtures are often deployed in grid or linear patterns above production lines, prep areas, or packaging zones. When using the motion sensor, fixture count may be reduced in low-occupancy areas, but uniformity should be verified to avoid shadowing in critical workspaces.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is NSF rated, UL listed, and IP69K certified. It meets requirements for food zone installation and is suitable for rebate programs where applicable. The fixture includes integrated 6kV surge protection and is rated for operation in wet and washdown environments.

A 5-year warranty covers manufacturing defects and performance. All certifications are documented for compliance with food safety and facility audit requirements.
