80 Watt Round High Temperature Explosion Proof LED Light | 8000 Lumens | Class 1 Div 1 | Class 2 Div 1 | 5000K | 120V | Rated to 176F

Product Overview

This 80 watt round LED fixture is built for hazardous locations where flammable gases, vapors, dusts, or fibers are present. It delivers 8000 lumens at 5000K and operates on 120V single-phase power. The fixture is UL 844 listed for Class I Division 1 Groups C and D, Class I Division 2 Groups A, B, C, and D, Class II Division 1 Groups E, F, and G, Class II Division 2 Groups F and G, and Class III environments.

Rated for operating temperatures from -40°F to 176°F, this fixture handles high-heat areas where standard explosion proof lights would exceed their thermal limits. The copper-free aluminum housing resists corrosion in chemical and marine environments. UL 1598A Marine Outside Type listing confirms suitability for offshore and shipboard installations.

At 100 lumens per watt, this fixture replaces 250 watt metal halide systems while drawing significantly less power. The tempered glass lens provides a 120-degree beam angle for broad coverage in open hazardous areas.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is designed for locations classified under NEC hazardous location requirements where ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, vapors, combustible dusts, or fibers may be present during normal operations. Class I Division 1 listing means it can be installed where hazardous conditions exist continuously or intermittently under normal operating conditions.

The 176°F maximum ambient rating makes this fixture appropriate for process areas with elevated temperatures such as heat treatment zones, boiler rooms, or enclosed spaces near thermal equipment. Facilities handling grain dust, coal dust, metal powders, or similar combustible particulates fall within the Class II coverage.

Wet location and marine type listings extend use to outdoor chemical plants, refineries, offshore platforms, and port facilities where salt spray and weather exposure are factors. The ABS certification supports marine vessel applications.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The 8000 lumen output from 80 watts provides a direct replacement path for 250 watt metal halide fixtures. Color rendering index of 70+ is typical for industrial task visibility where color accuracy is secondary to reliable illumination levels.

Power factor above 0.95 and total harmonic distortion below 10% indicate clean electrical characteristics that won''t create issues on facility power systems. The 50-60Hz frequency range covers both domestic and international power standards.

The 50,000 hour L70 lifespan represents the point at which output depreciates to 70% of initial lumens. In continuous operation, this translates to over five years before significant lumen degradation occurs.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Mounting options include yoke mount for ceiling or wall attachment and 3/4-inch NPT pendant mount for drop installations. At 39 pounds and 16 by 13.5 inches, the fixture requires adequate structural support and appropriately rated mounting hardware for the installation method selected.

IP66 rating means the fixture is sealed against dust ingress and protected against powerful water jets from any direction. IK10 impact rating allows the fixture to withstand significant mechanical impact without compromising the enclosure integrity. The 10kV surge protection handles electrical transients common in industrial power systems.

The copper-free aluminum construction prevents galvanic corrosion when installed near dissimilar metals or in marine atmospheres. The tempered glass lens resists thermal shock and physical damage better than standard glass or polycarbonate options in high-temperature environments.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Facilities typically install this fixture in paint spray booths, fuel handling areas, grain processing buildings, chemical mixing rooms, and similar spaces where hazardous classification mandates explosion proof equipment. The high ambient temperature rating sees frequent use above process ovens, in foundry environments, and near industrial dryers where heat accumulates.

The yoke mount works well for direct ceiling attachment in lower bay heights or angled wall mounting to direct light into specific work zones. Pendant mounting on rigid conduit positions the fixture below obstructions or at optimal heights in tall spaces.

Marine and offshore installations use this fixture on drilling platforms, in engine rooms, and throughout cargo handling areas on vessels. The wet location rating eliminates concerns about wash-down procedures or weather exposure in these applications.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is ETL listed and carries UL 844 certification for hazardous locations. UL 1598 wet location and UL 1598A marine outside type listings are included. ABS certification supports marine vessel applications.

The fixture is rebate eligible through qualifying utility programs. We provide a 5-year warranty on this product.
