40 Watt Low Profile Explosion Proof LED Linear Light | 5600 Lumens | Class 1 Div 2 | 5000K | 100-277V

Product Overview

We supply a 40 Watt Low Profile Explosion Proof LED Linear Light designed for hazardous location lighting where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts are present. This fixture delivers 5600 lumens at 5000K and operates on 100-277V. It is suitable for Class I Division 2, Class II Division 2, and Class III environments, and is commonly installed in paint booths, chemical processing areas, and similar hazardous locations. The compact linear form factor allows for mounting in areas with limited space or where low-profile fixtures are required.

This fixture is often used as a direct replacement for 175W metal halide units in hazardous environments. Typical mounting heights range from 8 to 16 feet, depending on the required light levels and spacing. The fixture is built for surface, bracket, or wall mounting, supporting a range of installation scenarios in classified areas.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture provides 5600 lumens at 40 watts, achieving an efficacy of 140 lumens per watt. The 120° beam angle delivers wide, even coverage suitable for general area illumination in hazardous locations. Color temperature is 5000K with a CRI above 70, supporting clear visibility for inspection and operational tasks.

Electrical performance includes a power factor above 0.95 and THD below 10%. The fixture supports 1-10V dimming for output adjustment. At mounting heights above 16 feet, uniformity may decrease and additional fixtures may be required for consistent coverage. Excessive output may occur if installed below 8 feet in confined spaces.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture supports 1-10V dimming, allowing for integration with compatible dimming systems or manual controls. This enables adjustment of light levels to match operational requirements or energy management protocols. No onboard occupancy or daylight sensors are included; external controls must be specified if needed.

Mounting options include bracket, surface, or wall installation. The linear housing and included hardware support flexible aiming and orientation to direct light where needed within the classified area.

Longevity and Reliability

L70 rated life is 50,000 hours, supporting long-term operation in demanding environments. The fixture is constructed with copper-free aluminum housing and sealed to IP66, providing resistance to dust, water, and corrosive agents commonly found in hazardous locations.

Operating temperature range is -22°F to 122°F. The fixture maintains performance in both cold and warm ambient conditions typical of industrial and process environments. All components are selected for durability and consistent output over the service life.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is copper-free aluminum with a gray finish, designed for corrosion resistance and mechanical durability. The fixture measures 26.4 x 4.5 x 6.3 inches and weighs 17 lbs. All seals and gaskets are rated for wet locations and hazardous atmospheres.

Ingress protection is IP66. The fixture is certified for use in Class I Division 2, Class II Division 2, and Class III locations, as well as ATEX and IECEx environments. NSF rating supports use in areas requiring cleanability and resistance to contamination.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is designed for hazardous locations where explosive gases, vapors, or dusts may be present. It is suitable for both new installations and retrofit projects in classified areas. The low-profile linear design is effective in spaces with limited ceiling height or where compact fixtures are required.

• hazardous location lighting
• explosion proof lighting
• paint booth lighting
• chemical processing facility lighting
• oil and gas facility lighting
• refinery lighting
• wastewater treatment lighting
• solvent storage area lighting

The fixture is suitable for wet, dusty, and corrosive environments. It can be installed in areas requiring NSF-rated equipment and is compatible with marine and offshore applications where ATEX and IECEx certifications are required.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Mounting options include bracket, surface, or wall installation. The fixture is designed for secure attachment to flat or structural surfaces in classified areas. All wiring and conduit entries must comply with hazardous location requirements and local codes.

Routine maintenance is minimal due to the sealed design and long LED life. Periodic inspection of seals and mounting hardware is recommended, especially in environments with vibration or corrosive agents. The fixture is designed for straightforward replacement of legacy hazardous location luminaires.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 8 to 16 feet, depending on the required light levels and area size. Fixtures are often spaced to provide overlapping coverage in paint booths, process areas, or storage zones within hazardous locations. Linear form factor supports installation along walls, ceilings, or structural beams.

Spacing and layout are determined by the target illuminance and classification requirements. Higher output per fixture can reduce total fixture count but may increase glare if not properly aimed or shielded. Dimming capability allows for adjustment based on operational needs.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is certified to UL844, UL1598, UL1598A, CSA, ATEX, IECEx, and NSF standards. It is rated for Class I Division 2 Groups B, C, D; Class II Division 2 Groups F, G; and Class III locations. IP66 ingress protection supports use in wet and dusty environments.

The fixture includes a 5-year warranty. All certifications and ratings are documented for code compliance and inspection requirements in hazardous locations.
