20 Watt Explosion Proof Vapor Tight LED Light | 2800 Lumens | Class 1 Div 2 | 5000K | 100-277V | 2 foot

Product Overview

This 20 Watt Explosion Proof Vapor Tight LED Light is a linear fixture designed for hazardous location lighting. It is built for environments where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts are present and a Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D rating is required. The fixture is suitable for surface mounting and is commonly used as a 70W metal halide replacement in paint booths, chemical processing areas, and similar hazardous spaces.

The fixture delivers 2800 lumens at 5000K, providing clear, neutral-white illumination. Its compact 2-foot form factor and robust stainless steel housing allow installation in confined or exposed locations where durability and compliance are critical.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 2800 lumens at 20 watts, achieving 140 lumens per watt. The 120° beam angle provides wide, even coverage for task and general area lighting in hazardous environments. The 5000K color temperature supports high-visibility work conditions.

Electrical performance includes a power factor above 0.95 and total harmonic distortion below 10%. The fixture operates on 100-277V, 50-60Hz. At mounting heights above 12 feet, light levels may decrease and uniformity may require closer spacing. Output may be excessive for very small enclosures.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture supports 1-10V dimming for basic output control and integration with compatible dimming systems. Dimming allows for energy management and adaptation to changing task requirements.

No field-adjustable optics or beam shaping options are included. The polycarbonate lens provides a fixed wide distribution. Controls are limited to dimming; no onboard occupancy or daylight sensors are provided.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 50,000 hours (L70) and is designed for continuous operation in demanding environments. The stainless steel housing and polycarbonate lens resist corrosion, impact, and chemical exposure.

IP66 and IK10 ratings ensure protection against dust, water jets, and mechanical impact. The fixture operates reliably in temperatures from -40°F to 122°F. All components are selected for long-term performance in hazardous and marine environments.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from stainless steel with a polycarbonate lens, providing high resistance to corrosion and impact. The fixture measures 28.9 x 8.2 x 4.7 inches and weighs 11 lbs, supporting secure surface mounting in industrial settings.

UL 844, UL 1598, UL 1598A, ABS, IP66, and IK10 certifications confirm suitability for hazardous, wet, and marine locations. The fixture is designed for straightforward installation and long-term durability in harsh conditions.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for hazardous locations where explosion proof and vapor tight lighting is required. It is suitable for use in environments with flammable gases, vapors, dusts, or fibers, and where compliance with Class I, II, or III standards is necessary. The fixture is commonly installed in:

• 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 withstands exposure to water, dust, chemicals, and mechanical impact. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor hazardous areas, including marine and offshore environments.

Installation and Long-Term Use

This fixture is designed for surface mounting using the included hardware. Its compact linear form factor allows installation in tight spaces, along walls, or on ceilings. The 11 lb weight supports secure attachment to structural surfaces.

Routine maintenance is minimal due to the sealed, non-serviceable design. The polycarbonate lens and stainless steel housing can be cleaned with standard non-abrasive methods. Ensure all wiring and conduit entries maintain hazardous location integrity during installation and service.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 8 to 14 feet, depending on the required light levels and area size. Fixtures are often spaced to provide overlapping coverage in paint booths, process areas, or corridors within hazardous locations.

In larger spaces, multiple fixtures are installed in rows or grids to achieve uniform illumination. Spacing and layout should be adjusted based on the specific hazard classification and light level requirements. Higher output per fixture can reduce fixture count but may increase glare in confined spaces.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is certified to UL 844 Hazardous Locations, 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. It is also UL 1598, UL 1598A Marine Outside Type, and ABS certified. IP66 and IK10 ratings confirm protection against water, dust, and impact.

The fixture is covered by a 5-year warranty. All certifications and ratings are maintained when installed according to manufacturer instructions and hazardous location requirements.
