250 Watt Explosion Proof LED Flood Light | 35000 Lumens | Class 1 Div 2 | 5000K | 100-277V

Product Overview

This 250 Watt Explosion Proof LED Flood Light is designed for hazardous location lighting where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts are present. It delivers 35,000 lumens at 5000K, providing high-output illumination for environments requiring strict safety compliance. Typical installations include paint booths, chemical processing areas, and oil and gas facilities where Class I, II, and III ratings are required.

The fixture is built for use in environments where traditional metal halide or HID fixtures are being replaced, especially where mounting heights range from 18 to 35 feet. The yoke and slip fitter mounting options support flexible installation on walls, ceilings, or structural supports.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture produces 35,000 lumens at 140 lumens per watt, offering efficient, high-output lighting for hazardous locations. The standard 120° beam angle provides broad coverage, with optional 40°, 60°, or 90° optics for controlled distribution in targeted areas. The 5000K color temperature supports clear visibility in industrial settings.

Electrical performance includes 100-277V input, a power factor above 0.90, and total harmonic distortion below 10%. Excessive output may occur at mounting heights below 18 feet, and uniformity can be reduced at heights above 35 feet without proper optic selection.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture supports 1-10V dimming for integration with lighting controls or energy management systems. Multiple beam angle options allow for adaptation to different task areas or coverage requirements. Yoke and slip fitter mounting enable precise aiming and orientation adjustments during installation.

Optical adjustments are limited to the available beam angle selections. No field-adjustable CCT or wattage is provided.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 244,000 hours (L70), supporting long-term operation in demanding environments. The copper-free aluminum housing and tempered glass lens provide resistance to corrosion and impact, with an IK09 impact rating.

Operating temperature range is -40°F to 140°F, suitable for both indoor and outdoor hazardous locations. The IP66 rating ensures protection against dust and powerful water jets.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from copper-free aluminum for corrosion resistance in chemical and marine environments. The fixture measures 19 x 15.9 x 3.1 inches and weighs 16.5 lbs, supporting installation on structural surfaces or mounting arms.

UL 844, UL 1598, UL 1598A, and ABS certifications confirm suitability for hazardous, wet, and marine locations. The tempered glass lens and robust housing design withstand industrial impacts and environmental exposure.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for hazardous locations where explosion proof, chemical resistant, and wet location ratings are required. It 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

Environmental characteristics include resistance to flammable gases, vapors, dusts, and corrosive atmospheres. The fixture is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use in classified areas.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Yoke and slip fitter mounting options support installation on walls, ceilings, or structural supports. The fixture?s weight and dimensions allow for single-person handling, but secure mounting is required due to hazardous location standards.

Routine maintenance is minimized by the long LED lifespan and sealed construction. Access to the fixture for cleaning or inspection should follow hazardous location safety protocols. Ensure all wiring and conduit entries maintain the integrity of the explosion proof enclosure.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 18 to 35 feet, depending on the required light levels and beam angle selection. Fixtures are spaced to achieve uniform coverage, with closer spacing required for narrow optics or task-specific areas such as paint booths.

In high-output applications, fixture count can be reduced, but glare and shadowing should be considered when selecting beam angles and mounting positions. Layouts are often coordinated with process equipment and classified area boundaries.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is certified to UL 844 for 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. Additional certifications include UL 1598, UL 1598A, ABS, IP66, and IK09.

The product includes a 5-year warranty. All certifications are listed for reference and compliance documentation.
