40 Watt Explosion Proof Vapor Tight LED Light | 5600 Lumens | Class 1 Div 2 | Class 2 Div 2 | 5000K | 100-277V

Product Overview

This 40 watt explosion proof vapor tight LED fixture delivers 5600 lumens at 5000K color temperature, built for classified hazardous locations where ignitable gases, dusts, or fibers may be present. The stainless steel housing and polycarbonate lens construction provide durability in environments where standard fixtures cannot be installed due to safety classification requirements.

The fixture is rated for 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 locations under UL 844. It operates on 100-277V input at 50-60Hz and replaces 150 watt metal halide fixtures. At 140 lumens per watt, the fixture produces equivalent working light at a fraction of the input power.

Dimensions are 28 inches by 8.6 inches by 5.3 inches with a weight of 11 pounds. The fixture mounts to surfaces and includes 1-10V dimming capability for integration with compatible control systems.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is designed for facilities with hazardous location classifications where combustible gases, vapors, dusts, or fibers may exist. Typical environments include oil and gas facilities, chemical processing areas, grain handling operations, paint spray booths, fuel storage areas, and similar classified spaces where standard lighting equipment is prohibited by code.

The UL 1598 wet location rating and UL 1598A marine outside type certification extend use to offshore platforms, marine vessels, and outdoor industrial sites exposed to direct moisture. The ABS certification supports maritime and shipboard applications where American Bureau of Shipping compliance is required.

Operating temperature range spans -40 degrees Fahrenheit to 122 degrees Fahrenheit, covering cold storage environments, unheated industrial buildings, and high-ambient process areas without derating concerns.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The 5600 lumen output at 5000K provides neutral white light suitable for inspection tasks, equipment maintenance, and general area illumination in industrial settings. CRI of 80 or higher supports color differentiation where material identification or quality inspection is performed under the fixture.

The 120-degree beam angle distributes light across a wide area from surface mount positions without supplemental optics. Power factor exceeds 0.95 and total harmonic distortion remains below 10 percent, meeting facility electrical system requirements where power quality is monitored.

Rated lifespan is 50,000 hours to L70, representing the point at which output declines to 70 percent of initial lumens. In continuous operation environments, this translates to approximately 5.7 years before output drops below the L70 threshold.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Surface mounting accommodates installation on ceilings, walls, or structural members in hazardous classified areas. The stainless steel housing resists corrosion in chemical exposure and marine environments where carbon steel would degrade.

IP66 rating means the fixture is protected against dust ingress and high-pressure water jets from any direction. IK10 rating means the fixture withstands significant mechanical impact, suitable for locations where equipment movement, material handling, or personnel activity creates physical contact risk.

At 11 pounds, the fixture requires appropriate structural support and fastening for the mounting surface. The 1-10V dimming interface connects to standard low-voltage dimming systems where output adjustment or integration with facility controls is needed.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Facilities replacing 150 watt metal halide in classified locations use this fixture to maintain equivalent light output while reducing power consumption and eliminating restrike delays after power interruptions. In hazardous environments, immediate restrike is important for operational continuity and safety visibility.

The 1-10V dimming allows output to be reduced during low-activity periods or adjusted to match task requirements without fixture replacement. In facilities with building automation systems, the dimming interface enables centralized control across multiple hazardous location zones.

The wide voltage input range covers most North American industrial electrical systems without transformer requirements. Facilities with voltage variation or older electrical infrastructure can install without concern for input compatibility within the 100-277V range.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is ETL listed to UL 844 for hazardous locations and UL 1598 for wet locations. The UL 1598A marine outside type listing and ABS certification support installation in maritime and offshore applications.

Hazardous location classifications covered include Class I Division 2 Groups A, B, C, D for ignitable gases and vapors, Class II Division 1 Groups E, F, G and Class II Division 2 Groups F, G for combustible dusts, and Class III for ignitable fibers. The fixture is rebate eligible through qualifying utility programs.

We provide a 5-year warranty on this fixture covering manufacturing defects and component failures under normal operating conditions within the specified temperature range and environmental ratings.
