80 Watt Round High Temperature Explosion Proof LED Light | 8000 Lumens | Class 1 Div 1 | 5000K | 120V | Rated to 194F

Product Overview

This 80 Watt Round High Temperature Explosion Proof LED Light is engineered for hazardous locations and high ambient temperature environments. It delivers 8000 lumens at 5000K with a 120V input, supporting continuous operation in areas up to 194°F (90°C). The fixture is designed for use in Class I, II, and III Division 1 and 2 hazardous locations, including chemical processing, paint booths, and industrial furnace areas.

The fixture?s round form factor and robust construction allow for yoke or 3/4 inch NPT pendant mounting. Typical installations include steel mills, foundries, and power generation sites where both explosion protection and high temperature tolerance are required. This unit is a direct replacement for legacy 250W metal halide fixtures in similar environments.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 8000 lumens at 100 lumens per watt, providing consistent illumination in high temperature and hazardous environments. The 120° beam angle supports wide area coverage, while the 5000K color temperature delivers clear, neutral white light suitable for industrial tasks. The fixture operates at 120V with a power factor above 0.95 and total harmonic distortion below 10%.

Performance is stable up to 194°F (90°C) ambient temperature, with no reduction in rated output or lifespan under continuous high heat. At mounting heights below 12 feet, output may be excessive for some confined areas. Uniformity can be affected at mounting heights above 18 feet due to the wide beam distribution.

Adjustability and Control Options

This fixture is supplied with a fixed 120° beam angle and does not include field-adjustable optics. Dimming is not supported. The yoke mount allows for vertical aiming adjustment, while the 3/4 inch NPT pendant mount provides fixed downlight orientation.

No integrated controls or sensors are included. External control must be provided at the circuit level if required. The fixture is compatible with standard on/off switching in hazardous locations.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 50,000 hours (L70) at maximum ambient temperature. The copper-free aluminum housing and tempered glass lens provide long-term resistance to corrosion, impact, and thermal cycling. The IP66 and IK10 ratings ensure protection against dust, water jets, and mechanical impact.

Surge protection is built in at 10kV. The fixture maintains full performance and reliability in environments with frequent temperature fluctuations and exposure to industrial contaminants.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from copper-free aluminum with a gray finish, designed for both chemical and mechanical durability. The tempered glass lens is impact resistant and sealed to prevent ingress of dust and water. The fixture measures 16 x 13.5 inches and weighs 39 lbs, supporting secure mounting in vibration-prone or high-traffic areas.

All hardware and gasketing are specified for continuous use in hazardous and high temperature environments. The fixture is suitable for wet locations and marine outside type installations.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for hazardous locations and industrial environments with sustained high ambient temperatures. It is suitable for areas where explosion proof construction and high temperature operation are both required.

• high temperature facility lighting
• industrial furnace area lighting
• steel mill lighting
• foundry lighting
• power plant and energy site lighting
• nuclear facility lighting
• kiln lighting
• glass manufacturing lighting

The fixture is rated for continuous operation in environments up to 194°F (90°C), with full hazardous location and marine ratings. It is not suitable for low temperature or general-purpose indoor applications.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fixture supports yoke or 3/4 inch NPT pendant mounting. Secure mounting to a rigid structure is required due to the fixture?s weight and hazardous location requirements. All wiring and installation must comply with hazardous location codes and standards.

Routine maintenance is limited to periodic inspection of seals and hardware. The fixture?s design minimizes the need for lens cleaning or internal access. Replacement is typically driven by end-of-life or physical damage, not routine servicing.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 10 to 18 feet, depending on the area and required light levels. Fixtures are spaced to provide uniform coverage, with closer spacing in areas requiring higher illumination or where obstructions are present. Layouts often follow grid or perimeter patterns in furnace areas and process zones.

Higher output allows for reduced fixture count in open areas, but may increase glare if installed at low mounting heights or in confined spaces. Spacing and aiming should be adjusted based on the specific hazards and workflow of the installation area.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is certified to UL 844 for hazardous locations, including Class I, Division 1 Groups C, D; Class I, Division 2 Groups A, B, C, D; Class II, Division 1 Groups E, F, G; Class II, Division 2 Groups F, G; and Class III. Additional certifications include UL 1598, UL 1598A Marine Outside Type, ABS, IP66, and IK10.

Operating temperature is rated from -40°F to 194°F. The fixture includes a 5-year warranty covering manufacturing defects and performance under rated conditions.
