50 Watt Round High Temperature Explosion Proof LED Light | 5500 Lumens | Class 1 Div 2 | 5000K | 120V | Rated to 212F
This 50W fixture delivers 5,500 lumens with a 120 degree beam while replacing 250W metal halide, making it a practical energy-saving choice for hazardous areas requiring broad coverage. UL 844 listings support Class I Division 2 and Class II Division 1 applications, while IP66, IK10 construction, 10kV surge protection, and operation from -40F to 212F suit wet, dusty, impact-prone, and high-temperature locations. Consider it for paint booths and hazardous industrial spaces.

Product Lighting Layout Estimator
Use this estimator to calculate approximate fixture count, spacing, and average foot-candles for a simple rectangular space using the selected LED fixture. Enter your room dimensions, mounting height, target foot-candles, light loss factor, and room/layout condition to generate a preliminary lighting layout. When IES photometry is available, workplane height and room reflectance controls are shown.
Project Inputs
Estimated Results
Estimated average foot-candles are preliminary and should be verified with a lighting plan for project-critical applications.
Room / Layout Condition: This field is used only when usable IES photometry is not available. In fallback mode, it acts as a simplified room utilization factor for reflectance, fixture distribution, racking, obstructions, and how much fixture light reaches the work area. Open / light-colored spaces use 0.90, typical warehouses or shops use 0.75, racked or obstructed spaces use 0.60, and dark or complex spaces use 0.45. When IES photometry is active, this field is hidden and the estimator uses the selected workplane height, LLF, and simplified reflectance adjustment instead.
Photometry / Simulation Note: When usable IES photometry is available for the selected fixture, this estimator uses the fixture’s IES candela data, selected workplane height, light loss factor, and simplified reflectance adjustment to estimate fixture count, average foot-candles, and visual light distribution. The reflectance adjustment is a conservative approximation and is not a full zonal-cavity, radiosity, or professional photometric room calculation. When IES photometry is not available, the estimator uses a simulated beam model based on lumens, mounting height, room/layout condition, light loss factor, and beam angle.
Preliminary Estimate Only: This estimator is intended for simple square or rectangular spaces and should be used as a planning aid, not a final photometric lighting plan. Actual light levels may vary based on fixture optics, selected IES file, mounting conditions, workplane height, ceiling height, surface reflectance, obstructions, controls, voltage, installation conditions, and site-specific requirements. Project-critical applications should be verified with a formal lighting plan.
This estimate is a starting point. Warehouses, industrial facilities, hazardous locations, sports areas, schools, healthcare spaces, public areas, and code-sensitive projects may require a reviewed lighting layout before purchase or installation.
Product Overview
This 50-watt round high temperature explosion proof LED light provides 5,500 lumens for hazardous and high-heat operating areas. It operates on 120V and is available in 5000K or 5500K color temperature.
The fixture is rated for operation from -40F to 212F and replaces a 250-watt metal halide fixture. Its round housing, tempered glass lens, and 120-degree beam support broad-area illumination where heat and hazardous-location classifications must be considered together.
Core Performance and Output
This fixture delivers 5,500 lumens at 110 lumens per watt. The standard 120-degree beam distributes light across a broad work area, while the 70+ CRI supports general visibility in industrial operating areas.
Electrical performance includes 120V input, 50-60Hz operation, power factor above 0.95, and THD below 10%. The 5,500-lumen output can be excessive where mounting heights are low or where close fixture spacing creates concentrated light levels.
Adjustability and Control Options
This fixture is non-dimming. It is intended for fixed-output operation on a 120V electrical system.
Yoke mounting allows directional aiming, while the 3/4 inch NPT pendant option supports suspended installation. The selected mounting method should match the required fixture orientation and available mounting structure.
Longevity and Reliability
The LED system is rated for 50,000 L70 hours. This rating supports long-term operation in high temperature facility lighting and other heat-exposed industrial locations.
The fixture carries a five-year warranty. Operating temperature is rated from -40F to 212F.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The housing is copper free aluminum with a gray finish. A tempered glass lens protects the optical assembly.
The fixture is IP66 rated and IK10 rated. It measures 14.57 by 11.28 inches and weighs 10 pounds.
Where This Product Fits Best
This fixture fits hazardous, heat-exposed industrial areas that require a 120V explosion proof lighting solution with operation up to 212F. Its 5,500-lumen output is suited to localized and moderate-scale lighting layouts rather than high-output large-area layouts.
- high temperature facility lighting
- industrial furnace area lighting
- foundry lighting
- boiler room lighting
- heat treatment facility lighting
- kiln lighting
The IP66 and IK10 ratings support use where the fixture is exposed to wet conditions and physical impact. Hazardous-location classifications must be matched to the conditions present at the installation area.
Installation and Long-Term Use
The fixture installs using either the yoke or 3/4 inch NPT pendant mount. The 10-pound fixture weight and mounting orientation should be accounted for before installation.
For industrial furnace area lighting, foundry lighting, and steel mill lighting, fixture placement should account for heat exposure, mounting height, and the direction of the 120-degree beam. Wider beam distribution can reduce fixture concentration, but layout still depends on the required light levels and physical obstructions.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
This fixture is commonly arranged in fixed lighting positions above work zones in high temperature facility lighting, boiler room lighting, and heat treatment facility lighting. Yoke mounting is used when beam direction needs to be aimed toward the intended area, while pendant mounting supports suspended fixture placement.
Mounting height and fixture spacing should be set from the required light levels and layout conditions. Higher mounting positions increase the illuminated area, but light levels at the work area may decrease without additional fixture coverage.
