100 Watt High Temperature Explosion Proof LED Light | 10000 Lumens | Class 1 Div 2 | 5000K | 120V | Rated to 194F

Product Overview

This 100 Watt High Temperature Explosion Proof LED Light is engineered for hazardous location lighting in environments with elevated ambient temperatures. It is rated for continuous operation up to 194°F (90°C) and delivers 10,000 lumens at 5000K. The fixture is certified for use in Class I Division 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III hazardous locations, making it suitable for areas with flammable gases, vapors, dusts, or fibers. Typical installations include industrial furnace areas, steel mills, and foundries where both explosion protection and high temperature tolerance are required.

The fixture is designed as a direct replacement for 400W metal halide units, with a compact form factor and robust construction. Yoke and 3/4 inch NPT pendant mounting options support flexible installation in overhead or wall-mounted configurations.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 10,000 lumens at 100 watts, providing 100 lumens per watt efficiency. The standard 120° beam angle offers broad coverage, with optional 40°, 60°, or 90° optics for more controlled distribution. The 5000K color temperature supports high visibility in industrial settings. Power factor exceeds 0.95 and THD is below 10%, ensuring stable electrical performance on 120V circuits.

At mounting heights between 12 and 25 feet, the output is suitable for general illumination in high temperature hazardous areas. Excessive output may occur at lower mounting heights, and uniformity may decrease if installed above 25 feet without tighter optics or increased fixture count.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture is available with a yoke mount for angle adjustment or a 3/4 inch NPT pendant mount for fixed vertical installations. Beam angle can be specified at order with 40°, 60°, 90°, or 120° options to match coverage requirements. No onboard dimming is provided; output is fixed at full power.

Optical control is achieved through interchangeable tempered glass lenses. No integrated motion or daylight sensors are included. External control systems must be compatible with non-dimming, constant-output fixtures.

Longevity and Reliability

L70 rated life is 50,000 hours, even at continuous operation in ambient temperatures up to 194°F (90°C). The fixture is designed for long-term reliability in high heat and hazardous environments, with copper-free aluminum housing and a tempered glass lens.

10kV surge protection is standard. The fixture maintains performance in environments with frequent thermal cycling and exposure to dust, moisture, and corrosive agents.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from copper-free aluminum with a gray finish, providing corrosion resistance and mechanical durability. The fixture is IP66 rated for dust and water ingress and IK10 rated for impact resistance. Dimensions are 14 inches in diameter by 11.3 inches high, with a weight of 26 lbs.

UL 844, UL 1598, UL 1598A, and ABS certifications are met. The fixture is suitable for wet locations and marine outside type environments. All hardware is designed for industrial use and long-term exposure to harsh conditions.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for hazardous locations and industrial environments with high ambient temperatures. It is commonly installed in areas where explosion proof protection and continuous operation at elevated temperatures are 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 suitable for indoor or covered outdoor use in locations with airborne flammable materials, high dust loads, or corrosive atmospheres. It is not intended for use in low ceiling spaces or non-hazardous, temperature-controlled environments.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Mounting options include yoke and 3/4 inch NPT pendant, supporting both ceiling and wall installations. The fixture?s weight and size require secure mounting to structural members rated for hazardous locations. All wiring must comply with hazardous location codes and practices.

Routine maintenance is minimized by the sealed, IP66-rated enclosure and robust lens. Periodic inspection of mounting hardware and electrical connections is recommended, especially in areas with vibration or corrosive exposure. No relamping is required; end-of-life replacement is fixture-based.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 12 to 25 feet, depending on the application and required light levels. Spacing is determined by beam angle selection and target uniformity, with tighter optics supporting greater spacing in aisle or task areas. In furnace zones or foundries, fixtures are often installed in rows or grids to ensure coverage around equipment and walkways.

Higher output allows for reduced fixture count in open areas, but may increase glare if installed below 12 feet or without shielding. Layouts should account for obstructions, heat sources, and hazardous area boundaries.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is certified to UL 844 for hazardous locations, including 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, ABS, IP66, and IK10. The fixture is suitable for wet locations and marine outside type environments.

Standard warranty is 5 years. All safety and compliance requirements for hazardous and high temperature environments are met. Surge protection is rated at 10kV.
