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

Product Overview

This 40 Watt Explosion Proof Vapor Tight LED Light is designed for hazardous location lighting, providing a reliable solution for environments where safety is paramount. With a lumen output of 5600 lumens and a color temperature of 5000K, this fixture is suitable for areas requiring high visibility and robust construction. It operates within a voltage range of 100-277V, making it versatile for various electrical systems. This fixture is particularly effective as a replacement for 150 Watt metal halide lights, offering improved energy efficiency and durability.

Its linear form factor and surface mounting capability make it ideal for installation in oil and gas facilities, chemical processing areas, and other hazardous locations. The fixture's polycarbonate lens and stainless steel housing ensure it can withstand harsh conditions, while its compact dimensions (28 in x 8.6 in x 5.3 in) allow for easy integration into existing setups.

Core Performance and Output

Delivering 5600 lumens at 140 lumens per watt, this explosion-proof LED light provides efficient illumination for hazardous environments. The 120° beam angle ensures broad coverage, reducing the number of fixtures needed for comprehensive lighting. The fixture's electrical performance is optimized with a power factor greater than 0.95 and a total harmonic distortion of less than 10%, ensuring stable operation.

While the fixture is suitable for a range of mounting heights, excessive output may occur at very low heights, potentially leading to glare. Conversely, at higher mounting heights, uniformity may be reduced, necessitating careful planning of fixture placement.

Adjustability and Control Options

This fixture includes 1-10V dimming capabilities, allowing for adjustable light levels to suit specific tasks or preferences. This feature is particularly useful in environments where varying light intensities are required throughout the day or for different operations.

The dimming functionality can be integrated into existing control systems, providing flexibility in managing energy consumption and enhancing the overall lighting strategy within hazardous locations.

Longevity and Reliability

With a lifespan of 50,000 hours (L70), this explosion-proof LED light offers long-term reliability, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement. Its robust construction ensures consistent performance even in challenging environments.

The fixture's design minimizes the risk of failure due to environmental factors, making it a dependable choice for critical applications where lighting reliability is essential.
