40 Watt Explosion Proof Linear LED Light | 5600 Lumens | Class 1 Div 1 | 5000K | 100-277V or 277-480V

Product Overview

This 40 Watt Explosion Proof Linear LED Light is designed for hazardous location lighting where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts are present. The fixture delivers 5600 lumens at 5000K and is suitable for Class I Division 1, Class II Division 1, and Class III environments. Typical installations include paint booths, chemical processing areas, and solvent storage zones where safety and compliance are critical. The linear form factor supports mounting in areas with limited ceiling space or where uniform coverage along aisles or work zones is required.

Mounting options include yoke or 3/4 inch NPT pendant, supporting both ceiling and wall installations. The fixture is a direct replacement for 175W metal halide units, providing improved efficiency and reduced maintenance in hazardous and corrosive environments.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 5600 lumens at 40 watts, achieving 140 lumens per watt. The 120° beam angle provides wide, even coverage suitable for task and general area lighting in hazardous locations. Color temperature is 5000K with a CRI above 70, supporting accurate visual inspection and color rendering in industrial settings.

Electrical performance includes 1-10V dimming, power factor above 0.95, and THD below 10%. The fixture operates on 100-277V or 277-480V input, accommodating a range of industrial power systems. At mounting heights below 10 feet, output may be excessive for small enclosures; at heights above 16 feet, uniformity may decrease without careful layout.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture supports 1-10V dimming for integration with lighting controls or manual adjustment. This allows for energy savings and adaptation to changing operational needs. No onboard occupancy or daylight sensors are included; external controls must be specified if required.

Mounting is adjustable via yoke or pendant, enabling precise aiming and alignment in both ceiling and wall applications. The linear design supports continuous row or end-to-end mounting for extended coverage along process lines or booth interiors.

Longevity and Reliability

L70 rated life is 50,000 hours, minimizing maintenance cycles in hazardous or hard-to-access locations. The fixture is constructed with a copper-free aluminum housing and tempered glass lens, supporting long-term operation in corrosive and high-particulate environments.

Operating temperature range is -22°F to 122°F. The fixture maintains performance in both cold storage and high ambient industrial settings. All gaskets and seals are designed for IP66 ingress protection, supporting washdown and outdoor marine use.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is copper-free aluminum with a gray finish, providing corrosion resistance in chemical and marine environments. The fixture is rated IK10 for impact resistance and is suitable for locations with incidental contact or vibration.

Dimensions are 47 x 5.5 x 8.1 inches, with a weight of 26 lbs. The tempered glass lens and robust gasketing support use in wet, dusty, or washdown areas. All hardware is designed for secure mounting in hazardous and classified locations.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for hazardous, classified, and corrosive environments where explosion proof construction is required. It is commonly installed in:

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

Environmental characteristics include high resistance to water, dust, chemicals, and impact. The fixture is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use in classified areas, including marine and offshore locations.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Mounting options include yoke and 3/4 inch NPT pendant, supporting both surface and suspended installations. The fixture?s linear form factor allows for continuous row mounting or placement along walls and ceilings in process areas or booths.

All wiring and connections must comply with hazardous location requirements. The fixture?s weight and dimensions should be considered for overhead installations. Routine inspection is simplified by the accessible lens and housing design.

Long-term use is supported by robust construction, corrosion-resistant materials, and a sealed enclosure. Maintenance intervals are extended due to the long LED lifespan and minimal need for re-lamping or cleaning in most environments.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 8 to 16 feet, depending on the size of the hazardous area and required light levels. Fixtures are often spaced to provide overlapping coverage along process lines, booth interiors, or storage aisles.

In paint booths and chemical processing areas, linear fixtures are installed in rows to ensure uniform illumination and minimize shadowing. Spacing and layout are determined by the specific hazard classification and required light levels. Higher output can reduce fixture count but may require careful aiming to avoid glare or over-lighting in confined spaces.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is certified to UL 844 for hazardous locations, including Class I Division 1 Groups C, D; 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, UL 1598A Marine Outside Type, ABS, IP66, IK10, and NSF.

The fixture is suitable for wet locations and marine environments. Warranty coverage is 5 years, supporting long-term reliability in demanding industrial and hazardous settings.
