3 Watt Explosion Proof Exit Emergency LED Light | Class 1 Div 2 | Class 2 Div 2 | 100V-277V

Product Overview

This 3 watt LED explosion proof exit emergency light is built for hazardous location use where combustible gases, vapors, or dust may be present. It carries UL 844 certification for 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 environments. The fixture operates on 100V-277V input at 50-60Hz.

An integrated emergency backup provides up to 3 hours of operation during power loss. The LED board, drivers, and indicator content are all replaceable, which supports long-term maintainability in facilities where access to hazardous-rated equipment can be operationally difficult to schedule.

The fixture measures 16 x 11.7 inches and weighs 7.3 lbs. It mounts via pendant, surface, or wall configurations. Output is 5000K color temperature with a rated lifespan of 50,000 hours at L70.

Where This Product Fits Best

This exit emergency light is appropriate for industrial facilities classified as hazardous locations under NEC guidelines. Typical environments include chemical processing areas, grain handling facilities, refineries, paint spray booths, and fuel storage zones where Class I Division 2, Class II Division 1 or 2, or Class III conditions exist.

The UL 1598A Marine Outside Type listing makes this fixture suitable for offshore platforms, shipyards, and marine vessels requiring exit signage in exposed exterior positions. UL 1598 wet location certification extends use to areas subject to direct water exposure, washdown procedures, or high-humidity conditions.

Facilities operating in extreme temperatures can deploy this fixture in ambient conditions ranging from -40°F to 140°F. This range covers cold storage entry points, outdoor process areas in northern climates, and high-heat manufacturing zones.

Performance and Functional Considerations

At 3 watts, this fixture draws minimal power during normal operation while maintaining clear exit indication at 5000K. The high power factor (greater than 0.95) and low total harmonic distortion (under 10%) support stable performance on facility electrical systems without introducing power quality issues.

The 50,000-hour L70 lifespan represents the point at which light output will have depreciated to 70% of initial levels. In practice, this means years of operation before output degradation becomes noticeable in typical exit sign viewing distances.

The emergency backup system activates automatically during power loss and sustains illumination for up to 3 hours. This duration supports evacuation requirements in most industrial egress applications where hazardous location compliance is mandatory.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fixture includes an integrated junction box for driver and emergency backup components. Three mounting options are available: pendant, surface, and wall. The mounting method selected should account for viewing angles required by local egress codes and the physical constraints of the hazardous area where the fixture will be installed.

IP66 rating means this fixture is protected against dust ingress and high-pressure water jets. IK10 impact rating means the enclosure can withstand significant mechanical impact from equipment, tools, or incidental contact in active industrial environments.

The replaceable LED board, drivers, and indicator content allow component-level maintenance without full fixture replacement. In hazardous locations where hot work permits and equipment certifications complicate maintenance scheduling, this serviceability reduces long-term operational burden.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Facility operators typically install this fixture at egress points within or adjacent to hazardous classified areas where standard exit signs cannot be used. The explosion proof rating allows placement in locations where ignitable concentrations of gases, vapors, or combustible dust are possible during abnormal conditions.

The three-hour emergency backup is relied upon during unplanned outages to maintain exit visibility while personnel evacuate or while backup generator systems come online. Maintenance teams can verify emergency function during scheduled testing without needing specialized equipment beyond standard test procedures.

When indicator content needs to change due to facility layout modifications or directional requirements, the replaceable indicator allows updates without removing or replacing the entire fixture. This is particularly relevant in facilities that undergo periodic reconfiguration of process areas or egress routes.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is UL 844 listed for hazardous locations and UL 924 listed for emergency lighting. It also carries UL 1598A Marine Outside Type and UL 1598 wet location listings. The product is rebate eligible.

The operating temperature range of -40°F to 140°F and the high vibration and high impact resistance support deployment in demanding industrial conditions where equipment is exposed to mechanical stress, temperature extremes, or both.

We provide a 5-year warranty on this fixture.
