240 Watt LED Explosion Proof Flood Light | 36,000 Lumens | Class 1 Div 2 | 5000K | 100-277V | Optional 10 Year Warranty

Product Overview

This 240 Watt LED Explosion Proof Flood Light is designed for hazardous location lighting where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts are present. It delivers 36,000 lumens at 5000K, providing high-output illumination for large, classified areas. The fixture is suitable for use in environments requiring Class I Division 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III compliance, including oil and gas facilities, chemical processing plants, and paint booths.

With a robust aluminum alloy housing, IP66 ingress protection, and marine outside type rating, this fixture is built for demanding industrial and offshore environments. Typical mounting heights range from 20 to 40 feet, replacing legacy 1000W metal halide units in hazardous and corrosive locations.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 36,000 lumens at 240 watts, achieving an efficacy of 150 lumens per watt. The 120° beam angle provides wide-area coverage, suitable for open hazardous zones and large process areas. The 5000K color temperature supports high-visibility tasks and general area lighting.

Electrical performance includes a power factor above 0.90 and total harmonic distortion below 10%. The fixture operates on 100-277V input and supports 50/60 Hz frequency. At mounting heights below 18 feet, output may be excessive for confined spaces. Uniformity can decrease at mounting heights above 40 feet without supplemental fixtures.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture is available with yoke or slip fitter mounting, allowing for precise aiming and flexible installation on walls, ceilings, or poles. The tempered glass lens and wide beam distribution are fixed; there are no field-adjustable optics or beam shaping accessories.

This model does not include dimming or integrated controls. External switching or circuit-level controls can be used if required by the application. The fixture is compatible with standard hazardous location wiring practices.

Longevity and Reliability

The LED system is rated for 150,000 hours (L70), supporting long-term operation in continuous-use environments. The fixture includes 10kV surge protection to guard against electrical transients common in industrial and marine settings.

Thermal management is passive, with an aluminum alloy housing designed to dissipate heat efficiently. The fixture maintains performance in ambient temperatures typical of oil and gas, chemical, and marine facilities.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy, with an IK08 impact rating and IP66 ingress protection. The tempered glass lens resists chemical exposure and mechanical impact. The fixture is UL 844, UL 1598, UL 1598A, CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certified.

Dimensions are 22.3 inches long, 18.6 inches wide, and 3.1 inches high. The fixture weighs 28.6 lbs. No cord is supplied; field wiring is required per hazardous location standards.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for hazardous and classified environments where explosion proof lighting is required. It is suitable for large indoor or outdoor areas in oil and gas, chemical, and marine 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
• offshore rig lighting

The fixture withstands wet, corrosive, and marine environments, and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor classified areas. It is not intended for general-purpose industrial or commercial spaces outside hazardous location requirements.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Mounting options include yoke and slip fitter brackets, supporting installation on flat surfaces, structural steel, or poles. The fixture is designed for field wiring in hazardous locations, following all applicable codes and standards. No pre-installed cord is provided.

Routine maintenance is minimal due to the sealed design and long LED life. Inspection intervals should follow facility hazardous location protocols. The fixture?s weight and size require secure mounting and may need two-person handling during installation.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 20 to 40 feet, depending on area size and required light levels. Fixtures are spaced to achieve uniform coverage in process areas, tank farms, or marine decks, with layout patterns determined by hazard classification and task requirements.

Higher output allows for wider fixture spacing, reducing total fixture count in large open areas. In confined or low-ceiling spaces, output may need to be managed to avoid glare or over-illumination.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is certified to UL 844, UL 1598, UL 1598A, CSA, ATEX, and IECEx standards. It meets Class I Division 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III requirements. The housing is IP66 and IK08 rated, with 10kV surge protection.

An optional 10-year warranty is available. All certifications and ratings are listed on the product label and supporting documentation.
