40 Watt Explosion Proof 1x2 Low Profile Linear LED Light | 5600 Lumens | Class 1 Div 2 | 5000K | 100-277V

Product Overview

This 40 Watt Explosion Proof 1x2 Low Profile Linear LED Light is designed for hazardous location lighting where flammable gases, vapors, or dust may be present. The fixture delivers 5600 lumens at 5000K, providing a clear, neutral-white output suitable for detailed work and general area illumination. Typical installations include paint booths, chemical processing areas, and other Class I, II, and III Division 2 environments where safety and compliance are required.

The low-profile linear form factor allows for mounting in areas with limited ceiling space or where a compact fixture is needed. This model is commonly used as a direct replacement for 150W metal halide fixtures, offering improved efficiency and reduced maintenance in hazardous and corrosive environments.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture provides 5600 lumens at 40 watts, achieving an efficacy of 140 lumens per watt. The 120° beam angle delivers broad, even coverage for general area lighting and task zones. The 5000K color temperature supports high-visibility work environments. Power factor exceeds 0.95, and total harmonic distortion is below 10% for stable electrical performance.

At mounting heights between 8 and 16 feet, the output is well-matched to aisle, booth, or process area lighting. Excessive output may occur at mounting heights below 8 feet, and uniformity may decrease if spacing exceeds typical linear layout patterns.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture supports 1-10V dimming for integration with lighting controls or manual dimmers. This allows for output adjustment based on occupancy, task requirements, or energy management protocols. No onboard sensor is included; external controls must be specified separately.

Mounting options include chain-cable, recessed, or surface installation, providing flexibility for ceiling, wall, or structure mounting in hazardous locations. The fixture is not field-adjustable for beam angle or distribution.

Longevity and Reliability

Rated for 50,000 hours (L70), this fixture is designed for long-term operation in demanding environments. The sealed housing and polycarbonate lens protect internal components from dust, moisture, and impact.

Operating temperature range is -22°F to 122°F, supporting year-round use in both conditioned and unconditioned spaces. The fixture is covered by a 5-year warranty.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The fixture measures 25.2 x 12 x 3.7 inches and weighs 19.8 lbs. The housing is constructed for durability in hazardous and corrosive environments, with a gray finish and impact-resistant polycarbonate lens.

Ingress protection is rated at IP66, and impact resistance is rated at IK09. The fixture is suitable for wet locations, washdown, and areas with airborne contaminants. NSF rating supports use in clean or food-adjacent environments where required.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for hazardous locations where explosion proof, dust proof, or vapor tight lighting is required. It is suitable for use in environments with flammable gases, vapors, dust, or fibers, as well as areas exposed to washdown or corrosive agents.

• 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

Environmental characteristics include high ingress protection, impact resistance, and suitability for Class I, II, and III Division 2 hazardous locations. The fixture is also NSF rated for clean area requirements.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Chain-cable, recessed, and surface mounting options allow for installation on ceilings, walls, or structural supports. The fixture?s low profile is suited for areas with limited overhead clearance or where space is constrained by process equipment.

All wiring and mounting must comply with hazardous location codes and standards. The fixture is designed for minimal maintenance, with no relamping required and a sealed housing to prevent ingress of dust or moisture. Periodic inspection of mounting hardware and electrical connections is recommended in corrosive or high-vibration environments.

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 in linear rows or grid patterns to achieve uniform coverage in booths, process areas, or corridors.

In paint booths and chemical processing areas, spacing is determined by the need for shadow-free illumination and compliance with hazardous location requirements. Higher output per fixture can reduce total fixture count but may require careful glare management in confined spaces.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is certified to UL 844 for hazardous locations and meets Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D; Class II, Division 1, Groups F, G; and Class III requirements. It is IP66 and IK09 rated, and NSF certified. The fixture operates on 100-277V and is covered by a 5-year warranty.

All installations must comply with local and national codes for hazardous locations. The fixture is suitable for use in wet, corrosive, and clean area environments as specified by its certifications.
