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

Product Overview

The 40 Watt Explosion Proof Vapor Tight LED Light is a linear hazardous location fixture designed for environments where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts are present. This model delivers 5600 lumens at 5000K, providing clear, high-visibility illumination in classified areas. The fixture is suitable for use in oil and gas facilities, chemical processing plants, and marine environments where Class I, II, and III ratings are required.

This fixture is built for surface mounting and is commonly used as a direct replacement for 150W metal halide units in hazardous locations. The compact linear form factor and robust stainless steel housing allow for installation in confined or exposed areas where durability and compliance are critical.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 5600 lumens at 40 watts, achieving an efficacy of 140 lumens per watt. The 120° beam angle provides wide, uniform coverage suitable for task and general area lighting in hazardous zones. The 5000K color temperature supports high visual acuity for inspection and operational tasks.

Electrical performance includes a power factor above 0.95 and total harmonic distortion below 10%, supporting stable operation on 100-277V circuits. Excessive output may occur at mounting heights below 8 feet, and uniformity may decrease if spacing exceeds typical linear patterns in large open areas.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture supports 1-10V dimming for integration with compatible control systems. This allows for light level adjustment based on occupancy, process requirements, or energy management protocols. Dimming is smooth and flicker-free across the full range.

No field-adjustable optics or beam shaping accessories are included. The polycarbonate lens provides fixed wide distribution. Controls must be specified at the system level; onboard sensors are not included.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 50,000 hours to L70, supporting long-term deployment in demanding environments. The stainless steel housing and polycarbonate lens resist corrosion, impact, and chemical exposure. The IP66 and IK10 ratings confirm suitability for wet, dusty, and high-abuse locations.

Operating temperature range is -40°F to 122°F. The fixture maintains performance in both cold and hot ambient conditions typical of industrial and marine hazardous areas.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from stainless steel with a polycarbonate lens, providing high resistance to impact and corrosion. The fixture measures 28 inches by 8.6 inches by 5.3 inches and weighs 11 pounds, supporting secure surface mounting on walls or ceilings.

All hardware and gasketing are designed for ingress protection and long-term durability. The fixture is suitable for both indoor and outdoor hazardous locations, including marine and offshore environments.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is designed for hazardous locations requiring explosion proof lighting and vapor tight construction. It is commonly installed in environments where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts are present, and where compliance with UL 844, Class I/II/III, and marine ratings is required.

• 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 is suitable for both indoor and outdoor classified areas, including marine and offshore platforms, solvent storage, and process areas with exposure to water, dust, or corrosive agents.

Installation and Long-Term Use

This fixture is designed for surface mounting using included brackets. The linear form factor allows for installation along walls, ceilings, or structural supports in hazardous zones. All wiring and connections must comply with hazardous location codes and practices.

Routine maintenance is minimized due to the sealed housing and long LED lifespan. The fixture is compatible with standard hazardous location conduit and cable systems. Weight and dimensions support single-person handling for most installations.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 8 to 16 feet, depending on the area classification and required light levels. Fixtures are often spaced in linear runs along process lines, walkways, or perimeter walls to provide continuous illumination.

In oil and gas facilities, units are deployed in pump rooms, compressor buildings, and storage areas. In marine and chemical processing, fixtures are installed in both interior and exterior hazardous zones. Spacing and layout are determined by the required uniformity and the presence of obstructions. Higher output can reduce 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 for wet locations, UL 1598A for marine outside type, and ABS. The fixture is IP66 and IK10 rated.

Warranty coverage is 5 years. All certifications and ratings are maintained when installed according to manufacturer instructions and applicable codes.
