30 Watt Explosion Proof Jelly Jar LED Light | 3900 Lumens | Class 1 Div 1 | 5000K | 100-277V

Product Overview

The 30 Watt Explosion Proof Jelly Jar LED Light is designed for hazardous location lighting where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts are present. This fixture delivers 3900 lumens at 5000K and operates on 100-277V, providing a direct replacement for legacy 100W metal halide units. The compact form factor and pendant mounting make it suitable for confined or low-clearance areas in classified environments.

This fixture is built for use in Class I, II, and III hazardous locations, including oil and gas facilities, chemical processing plants, and marine environments. The jelly jar design with a tempered glass dome offers full 360° illumination, supporting uniform coverage in process areas, storage rooms, and walkways where explosion proof requirements are enforced.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 3900 lumens at 130 lumens per watt, with a 5000K color temperature and CRI above 70. The 360° beam distribution from the spherical glass dome provides even coverage in small to medium hazardous spaces. Power factor exceeds 0.95 and THD is below 10%, supporting stable operation on 100-277V circuits.

At 30 watts, this unit is best suited for mounting heights up to 12 feet. Output may be excessive for very small enclosures or rooms under 8 feet in height. Uniformity can decrease if spaced too far apart in larger open areas.

Adjustability and Control Options

This fixture supports 1-10V dimming for integration with compatible control systems. Dimming allows for energy management and adaptation to varying process or occupancy requirements. The beam angle is fixed at 360°, with no field-adjustable optics or reflectors.

No onboard motion or daylight sensors are included. All control adjustments must be managed through external dimming controls or building automation systems.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 50,000 hours (L70), supporting long-term operation in demanding environments. The copper-free aluminum housing and tempered glass dome resist corrosion and impact, with an IK10 rating for mechanical durability.

IP66 ingress protection ensures resistance to dust and high-pressure water, suitable for washdown and outdoor marine locations. The fixture operates reliably from -22°F to 122°F, covering most indoor and sheltered outdoor hazardous areas.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from copper-free aluminum with a tempered glass dome, providing both chemical resistance and impact protection. The fixture measures 12.5 x 8.8 inches and weighs 14 lbs, supporting robust installation on rigid conduit or pendant systems.

All wiring and mounting are via 3/4 inch NPT pendant entry. The fixture is UL 844, UL 1598, UL 1598A, and ABS certified, with marine and wet location suitability. The design supports use in both indoor and outdoor hazardous environments.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for classified hazardous locations where explosion proof lighting is required. It is commonly installed in process areas, storage rooms, and walkways within oil and gas, chemical, and marine facilities. The output and form factor are suited for confined or low-ceiling spaces where legacy jelly jar or globe fixtures are being replaced.

• 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

The fixture withstands corrosive, wet, and high-impact environments, including marine and offshore applications. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor classified areas where pendant mounting is practical.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation is via 3/4 inch NPT pendant mount, compatible with rigid conduit systems in hazardous locations. The fixture?s weight and dimensions require secure mounting to a properly supported junction box or conduit stub. All wiring must comply with hazardous location codes and practices.

Routine maintenance is minimized due to the long LED lifespan and sealed construction. The glass dome can be cleaned as needed for maximum light output. No relamping is required. Ensure all gaskets and seals remain intact during service to maintain hazardous location ratings.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

This fixture is typically mounted at heights between 8 and 12 feet, spaced to provide uniform coverage in corridors, small process rooms, or storage areas. In larger spaces, multiple units are installed in a grid or linear pattern to meet required light levels and code compliance.

Spacing and fixture count depend on the size of the area and the required illumination. Higher output reduces the number of fixtures needed but may increase glare in confined spaces. Dimming can be used to adjust light levels for specific tasks or occupancy patterns.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is certified to UL 844 for hazardous locations, including Class I, Division 1 and 2; Class II, Division 1 and 2; and Class III. It is also UL 1598, UL 1598A, and ABS certified, with IP66 and IK10 ratings. The product is suitable for wet locations and marine outside type environments.

Operating temperature range is -22°F to 122°F. The fixture includes a 5-year warranty covering manufacturing defects and performance.
