20 Watt Explosion Proof Jelly Jar LED Light | 2800 Lumens | Class 1 Div 1 | 5000K | 100-277V

Product Overview

This 20 Watt Explosion Proof Jelly Jar LED Light is designed for hazardous location lighting where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts are present. The fixture delivers 2800 lumens at 5000K and operates on 100-277V. It is suitable for Class I, II, and III Division 1 and 2 environments, including paint booths and chemical processing areas. Typical mounting includes surface or 3/4 inch NPT pendant installations, often found in confined or low-ceiling hazardous spaces.

The fixture is a direct replacement for 100W metal halide jelly jar units, providing improved efficiency and reduced maintenance. Its compact form factor and robust construction allow deployment in areas with exposure to water, dust, and corrosive elements.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 2800 lumens at 20 watts, achieving 140 lumens per watt. The 360° beam angle and spherical tempered glass dome provide uniform illumination in small to mid-sized hazardous areas. The 5000K color temperature supports high-visibility tasks and general area lighting.

Electrical performance includes a power factor above 0.95 and total harmonic distortion below 10%. At mounting heights above 12 feet, light levels may decrease, and uniformity can be affected by obstructions or complex layouts. Excessive output is unlikely in most hazardous location applications due to the moderate lumen package.

Adjustability and Control Options

This fixture does not include dimming or integrated control options. The design is intended for continuous operation in classified environments where simple, reliable function is prioritized over advanced controls.

Beam distribution is fixed at 360°, with no field-adjustable optics. Control integration must be handled at the circuit level if required by the facility.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 50,000 hours (L70) and is built for continuous use in hazardous and corrosive environments. The copper-free aluminum housing and tempered glass dome resist impact, vibration, and chemical exposure.

Ingress protection is IP66, and the fixture is IK10 rated for impact resistance. The operating temperature range is -22°F to 122°F, supporting deployment in both indoor and outdoor hazardous locations.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from copper-free aluminum with a tempered glass dome. The fixture measures 12.5 x 8.8 inches and weighs 14 lbs. Surface and 3/4 inch NPT pendant mounting options are supported for flexibility in hazardous area installations.

All hardware is designed for corrosion resistance and long-term durability. The fixture is suitable for wet locations and marine outside type environments, as confirmed by UL 1598A and ABS certifications.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for hazardous locations where explosion proof lighting is required. It is commonly installed in environments with flammable gases, vapors, dusts, or fibers, as well as areas exposed to water, chemicals, or marine conditions.

• 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 both indoor and outdoor hazardous areas, including confined spaces, process areas, and locations with high humidity or corrosive atmospheres.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Surface and pendant mounting options allow installation on ceilings, walls, or structural supports. The 3/4 inch NPT pendant mount is compatible with standard hazardous location conduit systems. The fixture?s weight and size require secure mounting to rigid structures.

Routine maintenance is minimized due to the long LED lifespan and sealed construction. Access to the fixture for cleaning or inspection should follow hazardous area safety protocols. The fixture is designed for straightforward replacement of legacy jelly jar units in classified environments.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

This fixture is typically installed at mounting heights between 8 and 14 feet, depending on the area classification and required light levels. Spacing is determined by the size of the area and the presence of obstructions, with closer spacing in complex or equipment-dense environments.

Common deployment includes perimeter lighting in paint booths, process area illumination in chemical plants, and general lighting in hazardous storage rooms. Using higher output fixtures can reduce fixture count but may increase glare in small spaces.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is certified to UL 844, UL 1598, UL 1598A, and ABS standards. It is rated for Class I, Division 1 and 2; Class II, Division 1 and 2; and Class III hazardous locations. The fixture is IP66 and IK10 rated for ingress and impact protection.

A 5-year warranty covers manufacturing defects and performance. All certifications are listed for reference and compliance documentation.
