This fixture delivers 42,000 lumens at 5000K and is designed for use in Class I Division 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III environments. The fixture is built with a copper-free aluminum housing, tempered glass lens, and is IP66 rated for wet locations and marine environments. It is available with yoke or 3/4 inch NPT pendant mounting options and supports 100-277V or 277-480V input. Certified to UL 844, UL 1598A Marine, ATEX, and IECEx standards.

This round form factor is commonly installed in large-scale hazardous areas requiring high output and broad coverage. Typical installations include oil and gas facilities, chemical processing plants, refineries, and marine environments where compliance and durability are critical. The fixture is engineered for continuous operation in demanding industrial settings.

With a 50,000-hour L70 lifespan, 10kV surge protection, and a 5-year warranty, this fixture is suitable for long-term use in environments with high ambient temperatures, corrosive atmospheres, or exposure to water and dust. The 300W model is a direct replacement for 1000W metal halide fixtures in hazardous locations.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is designed for hazardous locations where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts are present. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use in environments requiring explosion proof, corrosion-resistant, and marine-rated lighting. The 300W output is appropriate for large open areas, process spaces, and high bay installations where maximum illumination and compliance are required.

The fixture is built for environments with explosive atmospheres, high humidity, salt spray, or airborne chemicals. It is suitable for use in areas with frequent washdowns, outdoor exposure, or where marine and offshore compliance is required.

Performance and Functional Considerations

This 300W explosion proof LED fixture produces 42,000 lumens at 140 lumens per watt, providing high-output illumination for large hazardous areas. The 5000K color temperature supports visibility and color rendering in industrial settings. Standard 120° beam angle is suitable for general area lighting; optional 40°, 60°, or 90° optics are available for targeted coverage.

The fixture supports 1-10V dimming for integration with lighting controls. Power factor exceeds 0.95 and THD is below 10%. The fixture operates reliably from -40°F to 140°F. Surge protection is rated at 10kV for electrical stability in industrial power environments.

Housing is copper-free aluminum with a tempered glass lens for impact and chemical resistance. The IP66 rating ensures protection against dust and powerful water jets. UL 1598A Marine certification allows use in marine and offshore environments.

Fixture dimensions are 18.9 x 15.5 inches, with a weight of 37.5 lbs. Mounting options include yoke or 3/4 inch NPT pendant for ceiling, wall, or structure attachment.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation can be performed using the included yoke bracket or 3/4 inch NPT pendant mount. The fixture is designed for secure attachment to structural steel, concrete, or marine platforms. All wiring and connections must comply with hazardous location requirements and local codes.

The fixture is suitable for both new construction and retrofit projects replacing 1000W metal halide units. The round form factor and mounting options allow for direct replacement in most hazardous location layouts. The fixture is compatible with standard hazardous location conduit and junction boxes.

Routine maintenance is minimized due to the 50,000-hour L70 rated life and sealed construction. The tempered glass lens and powder-coated aluminum housing resist corrosion, impact, and chemical exposure. The fixture is designed for continuous operation in harsh environments, including marine and offshore platforms.

Long-term reliability is supported by a 5-year warranty. The fixture is field serviceable for driver or LED board replacement if required.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

This 300W explosion proof LED fixture is commonly installed in large hazardous areas where high-output, compliant lighting is required. Typical use cases include process areas in oil and gas facilities, chemical plants, and refineries. The fixture is also used in paint booths and solvent storage areas where Class I or II compliance is mandatory.

In marine and offshore environments, the fixture is used for deck lighting, machinery spaces, and exterior walkways exposed to salt spray and weather. Wastewater treatment plants and other corrosive industrial sites use this fixture for reliable, code-compliant illumination in classified areas.

The fixture is selected for applications where legacy 1000W metal halide units are being replaced to reduce maintenance and improve energy efficiency. Its round form factor and mounting flexibility support a wide range of hazardous location layouts.

Routine cleaning and inspection are simplified by the sealed, smooth housing and impact-resistant lens. The fixture is designed for continuous operation in environments with vibration, moisture, and airborne contaminants.
