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

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 marking is required. It operates on 100V-277V and delivers specified lumens at 5000K. The fixture is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, and Class II/III hazardous locations, as well as marine and wet environments. Typical installations include chemical processing facilities, oil and gas sites, and offshore platforms where emergency exit visibility must be maintained under hazardous conditions.

The fixture supports pendant, surface, or wall mounting, allowing for flexible installation in a range of industrial and marine settings. Its compact form factor and robust construction are intended for environments where exposure to dust, moisture, and corrosive elements is expected.

Core Performance and Output

This emergency exit light provides 3 watts of output, optimized for code-required egress visibility in hazardous and marine environments. The fixture operates at 5000K, offering clear, high-contrast illumination for exit signage. Power factor exceeds 0.95, and total harmonic distortion is below 10%, supporting stable operation on industrial electrical systems.

Beam distribution is designed for uniform exit sign illumination rather than area lighting. Output is appropriate for standard corridor and egress pathway mounting heights. Excessive mounting heights may reduce legibility of exit markings in large open spaces. The fixture is not intended for general area illumination or high-mount applications.

Adjustability and Control Options

This fixture does not include dimming or advanced control features. It is designed for continuous operation or emergency activation as required by code. The unit is compatible with standard emergency lighting circuits and supports automatic operation during power loss.

Mounting options include pendant, surface, or wall installation. The fixture orientation can be adjusted during installation to ensure proper exit sign visibility in the intended direction of egress.

Longevity and Reliability

The LED light source is rated for 50,000 hours (L70), supporting long-term reliability in demanding environments. The fixture is constructed to withstand exposure to dust, water, and corrosive agents commonly found in hazardous and marine locations.

Operating temperature range is -40°F to 140°F, allowing for deployment in both cold storage and high-heat industrial settings. The fixture is IP66 and IK10 rated, providing protection against water ingress and mechanical impact.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is engineered for hazardous and marine environments, with a robust enclosure that meets UL 844, UL 924, UL 1598A, and UL 1598 standards. The fixture measures 16 x 11.7 inches and weighs 7.3 lbs, supporting secure mounting on a variety of surfaces.

IK10 impact rating and IP66 ingress protection ensure resistance to physical abuse and environmental exposure. All hardware and finishes are selected for corrosion resistance in marine and chemical processing applications.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for hazardous locations and marine environments where emergency exit marking is required. It is suitable for use in facilities with flammable gases, vapors, dust, or fibers, as well as offshore and corrosive environments.

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

The fixture is designed for environments requiring Class I, II, or III compliance, and where exposure to water, salt, or corrosive chemicals is likely. It is not intended for general-purpose exit lighting outside hazardous or marine-rated areas.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Pendant, surface, or wall mounting options allow for installation flexibility in a range of hazardous and marine environments. The fixture?s weight and dimensions support secure attachment to structural surfaces, including concrete, steel, or marine-grade substrates.

Routine inspection and periodic cleaning are recommended to maintain visibility of exit markings, especially in dusty or corrosive environments. Emergency battery and circuitry should be tested according to facility safety protocols. All wiring and installation must comply with hazardous location requirements and local codes.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights are 7 to 10 feet above finished floor, positioned at exit doors, corridor intersections, or egress pathways. Spacing is determined by code requirements and line-of-sight visibility for exit signage. In large open areas, additional fixtures may be required to maintain clear egress marking.

Fixtures are often installed in pairs or at multiple exits to ensure redundancy. Higher output is not necessary for this application; excessive spacing may reduce sign legibility in smoke or low-visibility conditions.
