100 Watt Square LED Explosion Proof Light | 14000 Lumens | Class 1 Div 2 | 5000K | 100V-277V or 277-480V

Product Overview

We offer the 100 Watt Square LED Explosion Proof Light for hazardous location lighting where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts are present. This fixture is designed for use in Class I Division 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III environments, with full UL 844, ATEX, and IECEx certifications. Typical installations include paint booths, chemical processing areas, and solvent storage zones where safety and compliance are critical. The fixture is a direct replacement for 250W metal halide units, supporting mounting heights commonly found in industrial and process facilities.

This model operates at 100-277V or 277-480V, delivers 14,000 lumens at 5000K, and is built for demanding environments. The housing is copper-free aluminum with a tempered glass lens, rated for marine and wet locations, and supports both yoke and 3/4" NPT pendant mounting.

Core Performance and Output

The fixture outputs 14,000 lumens at 100 watts, providing 140 lumens per watt efficiency. Standard beam angle is 120°, with optional 40°, 60°, or 90° optics for controlled distribution. The 5000K color temperature supports high-visibility tasks in hazardous environments. Power factor exceeds 0.95, and THD is below 10% for stable operation on industrial circuits.

At mounting heights between 12 and 25 feet, this fixture provides uniform coverage for process areas, paint booths, and hazardous storage. Excessive output may occur at mounting heights below 10 feet. Wider beam angles can reduce uniformity at higher mounting heights or in spaces with obstructions.

Adjustability and Control Options

This explosion proof fixture supports 1-10V dimming for integration with lighting controls or manual dimming systems. Beam angle can be specified at order for targeted or wide-area coverage. The yoke mount allows for precise aiming, while the pendant mount provides fixed vertical orientation.

No onboard occupancy or daylight sensors are included. Dimming performance is stable across the full voltage range. Control wiring must be installed per hazardous location code requirements.

Longevity and Reliability

L70 rated life is 50,000 hours, supporting long-term operation in continuous-use environments. The fixture is designed for minimal maintenance, with no relamping required and a sealed housing to prevent ingress of dust or moisture. Surge protection is rated at 10kV for electrical reliability in industrial settings.

Operating temperature range is -40°F to 122°F. The fixture maintains performance in both cold storage and high ambient process areas. All gaskets and seals are rated for hazardous and marine environments.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is copper-free aluminum with a gray finish, providing corrosion resistance in chemical and marine environments. The tempered glass lens is IK10 impact rated. The fixture is IP66 rated for dust and water ingress, and UL 1598A marine rated for outdoor and offshore use.

Dimensions are 12.5 x 9.5 x 6.5 inches, with a weight of 26 lbs. Mounting options include yoke and 3/4" NPT pendant. All hardware is designed for secure installation in hazardous locations.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for hazardous and classified environments where explosion proof lighting is required. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use in areas with flammable gases, vapors, or dusts. The design supports use in marine, chemical, and process facilities, as well as paint booths and solvent storage areas.

• hazardous location lighting
• explosion proof lighting
• paint booth lighting
• chemical processing facility lighting
• oil and gas facility lighting
• refinery lighting
• marine environment lighting
• wastewater treatment lighting

The fixture is suitable for wet, dusty, corrosive, and marine environments. It is not intended for general-purpose industrial or warehouse lighting outside of classified areas.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Mounting options include yoke for surface or wall installation and 3/4" NPT pendant for overhead mounting. All wiring and installation must comply with hazardous location codes and standards. The fixture is designed for secure mounting in vibration-prone or corrosive environments.

Routine maintenance is limited to periodic inspection of seals and hardware. The sealed housing and marine rating reduce the risk of corrosion or ingress. Replacement of the fixture is not required for lamp or ballast failure, as the LED array and driver are designed for long service life.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 12 to 25 feet, depending on the application and required light levels. In paint booths and process areas, fixtures are spaced to provide uniform coverage and minimize shadowing. In chemical storage or solvent areas, placement is determined by classified zone boundaries and code requirements.

Higher output allows for reduced fixture count in large open areas, but may increase glare if installed at low mounting heights. Beam angle selection and aiming are used to control spill light and maximize task illumination.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is certified to UL 844, UL 1598, UL 1598A Marine, ABS, ATEX, and IECEx standards. It is rated for 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 environments. IP66 and IK10 ratings apply. The product includes a 5-year warranty.

All certifications are valid for hazardous, marine, and wet locations. The fixture meets requirements for use in oil and gas, chemical, and wastewater facilities.
