3 Watt Explosion Proof Exit Emergency LED Light | Class 1 Div 1 | Class 2 Div 1

Product Overview

This 3 watt LED explosion proof exit emergency light is built for hazardous location use in Class I Division 1 and Class II Division 1 environments. The fixture combines exit signage with integrated emergency backup capable of up to 3 hours of operation during power loss. An integrated junction box houses both the driver and emergency components.

The LED board and drivers are replaceable, and the exit indicator content can also be swapped out. The aluminum alloy housing with tempered glass lens is rated IP66 and IK10, making this fixture suitable for wet, dusty, and physically demanding industrial environments. Operating temperature range spans -40°F to 140°F.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is designed for facilities where combustible gases, vapors, or dust may be present. Classified area ratings cover Class I Division 1 Groups C and D, Class I Division 2 Groups A, B, C, and D, Class II Division 1 Groups E, F, and G, Class II Division 2 Groups F and G, and Class III locations. These ratings make it applicable in petrochemical plants, grain handling facilities, paint spray booths, and similar hazardous environments.

The UL 1598A Marine Outside Type listing supports installation in marine and offshore applications. UL 1598 wet location listing allows exterior or washdown area mounting. Facilities requiring emergency egress lighting in classified spaces will find this fixture addresses both the exit signage and backup power requirements in a single unit.

Performance and Functional Considerations

At 3 watts, this is a low-draw fixture intended for exit identification rather than area illumination. The 50,000-hour L70 lifespan means the LEDs will maintain at least 70 percent of initial output over that period under normal operation. Voltage input accepts 100V through 277V at 50-60Hz, covering most industrial power configurations without additional transformers.

Power factor exceeds 0.95 and total harmonic distortion remains below 10 percent. The emergency backup function provides up to 3 hours of continued operation when main power is lost, meeting code requirements for emergency egress lighting duration in most jurisdictions.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Mounting options include chain-cable suspension or 3/4-inch NPT pendant mount. The unit measures 16 by 11.7 inches and weighs 14 pounds, so mounting hardware and structural attachment points should accommodate this load. The integrated junction box simplifies wiring by consolidating driver and emergency components in a single enclosure.

The replaceable LED board and driver design allows component-level maintenance without full fixture replacement. Exit indicator content is also replaceable, which accommodates changes to egress routes or directional requirements without installing a new unit. High vibration and high impact resistance support installation in areas with heavy equipment operation or material handling traffic.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Facilities typically install this fixture at egress points, stairwells, and exit corridors within classified hazardous areas. The emergency backup keeps the exit sign visible during power outages, supporting safe evacuation without relying on separate emergency lighting circuits. Because the indicator content is replaceable, facilities can update directional arrows or text if exit routes change.

The IP66 rating allows the fixture to be hosed down during cleaning without water ingress, which matters in food processing or chemical plants with regular washdown protocols. The IK10 rating means the housing and lens can withstand direct physical impact from equipment or material movement without failure. In high-vibration environments near compressors, conveyors, or heavy machinery, the construction maintains integrity over time.
