30 Watt Explosion Proof Vapor Tight LED Light | 4200 Lumens | Class 1 Div 2 | 5000K | 100-277V

Product Overview

This 30 Watt Explosion Proof Vapor Tight LED Light is designed for hazardous location lighting where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts are present. The fixture is built for use in Class I Division 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III environments. Typical installations include oil and gas facilities, chemical processing plants, and marine environments where safety and compliance are critical. The linear form factor and surface mounting allow for straightforward replacement of legacy vapor tight or metal halide fixtures in confined or low-clearance areas.

With a 4200 lumen output at 5000K, this fixture is suitable for applications requiring moderate illumination levels and consistent color rendering. The polycarbonate lens and stainless steel housing provide durability in corrosive or wet environments, supporting long-term operation in demanding industrial settings.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture delivers 4200 lumens at 30 watts, achieving an efficacy of 140 lumens per watt. The 120° beam angle provides wide, uniform coverage suitable for general area lighting in hazardous locations. Color temperature is 5000K with a CRI above 80, supporting accurate visual tasks and color differentiation.

Electrical performance includes 100-277V input, 1-10V dimming, power factor above 0.95, and THD below 10%. Output is appropriate for mounting heights up to 12 feet in most hazardous environments. At lower mounting heights, output may be excessive for small rooms or confined spaces. Uniformity can be affected if fixtures are spaced too far apart in large open areas.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture supports 1-10V dimming for basic output adjustment and integration with compatible control systems. Dimming allows for energy savings and adaptation to changing operational requirements. No field-adjustable optics or beam shaping options are included.

Control wiring is accessible through the surface mount housing. The fixture does not support advanced controls such as occupancy sensing or wireless integration out of the box. All adjustments must be made through compatible dimming systems or manual control panels.

Longevity and Reliability

L70 rated life is 50,000 hours, supporting multi-year operation in continuous-use environments. The stainless steel housing and polycarbonate lens resist corrosion, impact, and chemical exposure. The fixture is rated for operation from -40°F to 122°F, covering most indoor and sheltered outdoor hazardous locations.

Ingress protection is IP66, and impact protection is IK10. These ratings support use in wet, dusty, and high-abuse areas. The fixture maintains performance in marine and offshore environments where salt spray and vibration are present.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from stainless steel with a polycarbonate lens, providing high resistance to corrosion and impact. The fixture measures 28.9 x 8.2 x 4.7 inches and weighs 11 lbs, supporting secure surface mounting on walls or ceilings.

All wiring and connections are sealed to prevent ingress of dust, water, and vapors. The fixture is designed for surface mounting only and does not include pendant or chain mounting options. The compact linear design allows installation in tight or low-clearance spaces.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for hazardous locations where explosion proof and vapor tight performance are required. It is suitable for moderate output applications in environments with flammable gases, vapors, or dusts. The linear form factor and surface mounting are well-suited for corridors, process areas, and equipment rooms in industrial facilities.

• paint booth lighting
• chemical processing facility lighting
• oil and gas facility lighting
• marine environment lighting
• wastewater treatment lighting

The fixture is rated for wet locations, marine outside type, and high-impact areas. It is suitable for both indoor and sheltered outdoor use where hazardous atmospheres are present.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Surface mounting is supported on ceilings or walls using the included hardware. The fixture?s weight and dimensions allow for single-person installation in most cases. All wiring must be performed in accordance with hazardous location requirements and local codes.

Routine maintenance is limited to periodic inspection and cleaning of the lens and housing. The sealed design minimizes ingress of dust and moisture, reducing the need for frequent servicing. Replacement of the fixture is straightforward due to standard mounting and wiring practices in hazardous environments.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 8 to 12 feet, depending on the required light levels and area size. Fixtures are often spaced 10 to 16 feet apart for general area coverage in process rooms, corridors, or equipment spaces. Linear layouts along walls or ceilings are common in hazardous location corridors and walkways.

Spacing and fixture count should be adjusted based on the specific illumination requirements and the presence of obstructions. Higher output per fixture can reduce total fixture count but may increase glare in confined spaces.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is certified to UL 844 for hazardous locations, including 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. Additional certifications include UL 1598, UL 1598A Marine Outside Type, and ABS. The fixture is IP66 and IK10 rated.

Operating temperature range is -40°F to 122°F. Warranty is 5 years. All certifications and ratings are maintained when installed and operated according to manufacturer instructions and applicable codes.
