3 Watt Explosion Proof Exit Emergency LED Light | Class 1 Div 1

Product Overview

This 3 Watt Explosion Proof Exit Emergency LED Light is designed for hazardous location lighting and marine environment lighting where code-compliant emergency egress illumination is required. It provides reliable exit and emergency lighting in areas classified as Class I Division 1 and Division 2, as well as Class II and III hazardous locations. Typical installations include chemical processing facilities, oil and gas sites, refineries, and offshore platforms where explosive gases, vapors, or dusts are present.

The fixture operates at 100-277V and delivers emergency illumination at 5000K. It is suitable for both new construction and retrofit projects where hazardous location and marine ratings are mandatory. Chain-cable and 3/4 inch NPT pendant mounting options support installation flexibility in confined or exposed environments.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture delivers 3 watts of emergency LED output, providing code-required visibility for exit and egress pathways in hazardous and marine environments. The output is designed for emergency use, not for general area illumination. The 5000K color temperature supports clear visibility in smoke or vapor-prone areas.

Electrical performance includes a power factor greater than 0.95 and total harmonic distortion below 10%. The fixture is not dimmable and is intended for continuous readiness with automatic emergency operation. Excessive mounting heights may reduce the effectiveness of the emergency illumination for egress marking.

Adjustability and Control Options

This emergency exit fixture is not dimmable and does not include integrated control options. It is designed for automatic operation during power loss, in compliance with UL 924 emergency lighting requirements. The fixture operates on standard 100-277V circuits and does not require external control wiring.

Mounting adjustability is provided through chain-cable or 3/4 inch NPT pendant options, allowing adaptation to ceiling heights and structural conditions common in hazardous and marine environments.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 50,000 hours (L70) of LED life, supporting long-term operation in demanding environments. The aluminum alloy housing, tempered glass lens, and IP66/IK10 ratings provide resistance to water, dust, and impact.

Operating temperature range is -40°F to 140°F, supporting deployment in both cold storage and high-heat process areas. The fixture is designed for continuous readiness and minimal maintenance in hazardous and marine locations.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy with a tempered glass lens. The fixture is IP66 rated for water and dust ingress and IK10 rated for impact resistance. Dimensions are 16 x 11.7 inches, with a weight of 14 lbs, supporting robust installation in industrial and marine settings.

Chain-cable and 3/4 inch NPT pendant mounting options accommodate a range of ceiling types and installation requirements. The fixture is suitable for both indoor and outdoor hazardous locations, including marine environments exposed to salt spray and moisture.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is designed for hazardous and marine environments where emergency exit and egress lighting is required by code. It is suitable for locations with explosive gases, vapors, dusts, or corrosive atmospheres, and where marine ratings are necessary.

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

The fixture is built for environments requiring UL 844, UL 924, UL 1598A, and IP66/IK10 compliance. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor hazardous areas, including marine and offshore platforms.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Chain-cable and 3/4 inch NPT pendant mounting options allow installation on a variety of ceiling types, including concrete, steel, and marine-grade structures. The fixture?s weight and dimensions require secure mounting points and may need two-person handling for overhead installation.

Routine inspection is recommended to ensure lens clarity and housing integrity, especially in corrosive or high-vibration environments. Emergency function should be tested per code requirements. The fixture is designed for minimal maintenance and long service intervals in hazardous and marine locations.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

This emergency exit fixture is typically installed at standard egress heights, often above doors or along exit pathways in hazardous and marine environments. Spacing is determined by code requirements for visibility and coverage, with mounting heights generally between 7 and 10 feet to ensure effective egress illumination.

Layout patterns follow facility egress plans and hazardous area zoning. Higher mounting heights may require closer spacing to maintain code-compliant visibility. The fixture?s output is intended for emergency use only and should not be used as a substitute for general area lighting.
