40 Watt Explosion Proof Linear LED Light | 5600 Lumens | Class 1 Div 2 | 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 combustible dusts are present. The fixture delivers 5600 lumens at 5000K and is suitable for use in Class I Division 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III environments. Typical installations include paint booths, chemical processing areas, and solvent storage spaces where safety and compliance are critical.

The linear form factor and 47-inch length allow for even coverage in aisle, booth, or process area layouts. This fixture is a direct replacement for 175W or 250W 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, uniform coverage for task and general area lighting in hazardous locations. Color temperature is 5000K with a CRI above 70, supporting accurate visual inspection and process work.

Electrical performance includes a power factor above 0.95 and THD below 10%. The fixture is available in both 100-277V and 277-480V versions. Output is best suited for mounting heights between 8 and 16 feet. At lower mounting heights, output may be excessive for confined spaces; at higher elevations, uniformity may decrease without additional fixtures.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture supports 1-10V dimming for integration with lighting controls or manual dimming systems. This allows for output adjustment based on occupancy, process requirements, or energy management protocols. Dimming is smooth and compatible with standard industrial dimming systems.

Mounting options include yoke or 3/4 inch NPT pendant, providing flexibility for ceiling, wall, or structure attachment. The linear design supports both single and continuous row installations, depending on coverage needs.

Longevity and Reliability

L70 rated life is 50,000 hours, minimizing maintenance intervals in hazardous or hard-to-access locations. The fixture is designed for continuous operation in demanding environments, with stable output and minimal lumen depreciation over time.

Operating temperature range is -22°F to 122°F, supporting year-round use in both indoor and outdoor hazardous areas. The fixture is backed by a 5-year warranty.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from copper-free aluminum for corrosion resistance and durability in chemical, marine, or solvent-rich environments. The polycarbonate lens provides impact resistance and protects internal components from dust and moisture.

The fixture is IP66 and IK08 rated, ensuring protection against water jets, dust ingress, and moderate mechanical impact. Dimensions are 47 x 4.7 x 9.5 inches, with a total weight of 15 lbs. The gray finish is standard for industrial and hazardous location use.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for hazardous locations where explosion proof, chemical resistant, and wet location ratings are required. It is commonly installed in environments with flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts, as well as areas exposed to corrosive agents or marine conditions.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 8 to 16 feet, depending on the area and required light levels. Fixtures are often spaced to provide uniform coverage in paint booths, process aisles, or storage areas. Continuous row layouts are used in larger spaces or where consistent illumination is required along a process line.

Spacing and fixture count vary based on target light levels and area geometry. Higher output per fixture can reduce total fixture count but may increase glare in confined spaces. Dimming controls are often used to fine-tune output for specific tasks or occupancy patterns.

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, ABS, and NSF.

Ingress protection is rated at IP66. Impact protection is rated at IK08. The fixture is covered by a 5-year warranty.
