40 Watt Explosion Proof 1x4 Low Profile Linear LED Light | 5600 Lumens | Class 1 Div 2 | 5000K | 100-277V

Product Overview

This 40 Watt Explosion Proof 1x4 Low Profile 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, providing a clear, neutral white light suitable for detailed work and general area illumination. Typical installations include paint booths, chemical processing areas, and other classified environments requiring Class 1 Division 2 compliance.

The low-profile linear form factor allows for mounting in areas with limited ceiling space or where a compact fixture is preferred. This model is commonly used as a direct replacement for 150W metal halide fixtures, supporting mounting heights in the 8 to 16 foot range depending on the application and required light levels.

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, even coverage suitable for open areas and workspaces. Color temperature is 5000K with a CRI above 70, supporting accurate color rendering in hazardous environments.

Electrical performance includes a power factor above 0.95 and total harmonic distortion below 10%. The fixture operates on 100-277V input and supports 1-10V dimming for output adjustment. At mounting heights below 8 feet, output may be excessive for tasks requiring low glare. Uniformity may decrease at mounting heights above 16 feet without supplemental fixtures.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture supports 1-10V dimming, allowing for integration with compatible dimming controls or building automation systems. This enables adjustment of light levels to match task requirements or energy management strategies.

No onboard occupancy or daylight sensors are included. Dimming performance is stable across the full voltage range. The wide beam distribution is fixed; no field-adjustable optics are provided.

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 housing is constructed for hazardous location use, with a gray finish and a polycarbonate lens rated IK09 for impact resistance. The fixture measures 49.2 x 12 x 3.7 inches and weighs 44 lbs, reflecting the robust build required for classified environments.

Ingress protection is IP66, supporting installation in wet or dusty areas. The fixture is NSF rated for use in environments requiring food safety compliance. Mounting options include chain-cable, recessed, or surface installation. All mounting hardware must support the fixture?s weight and comply with hazardous location requirements.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for classified hazardous locations where explosion proof or dust-ignition proof lighting is required. It is suitable for environments with flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts, as well as areas requiring NSF-rated fixtures for food safety.

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

The fixture?s IP66 and IK09 ratings support use in wet, dusty, or high-impact areas. NSF certification allows deployment in food and beverage processing zones where hazardous location compliance is also required.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Chain-cable, recessed, and surface mounting options are supported. All installation methods must comply with hazardous location codes and ensure secure attachment due to the fixture?s weight. The low-profile design allows installation in areas with limited overhead clearance.

Routine maintenance is minimized by the sealed housing and long LED lifespan. For environments with frequent washdowns or airborne contaminants, periodic inspection of lens and seals is recommended. All wiring and connections must maintain hazardous location integrity throughout the fixture?s service life.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 8 to 16 feet, depending on the required light levels and area size. Fixtures are often spaced to provide overlapping coverage in paint booths, process areas, or corridors within hazardous locations. Linear layouts are common for aisle or booth applications.

Spacing and fixture count depend on the specific task and reflectance of surrounding surfaces. Higher output per fixture can reduce total fixture count but may require careful placement to avoid glare or excessive brightness in confined spaces.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is certified to UL 844 for hazardous locations and meets Class 1 Division 2 Groups A, B, C, D; Class 2 Division 1 Groups F, G; and Class 3 requirements. It is IP66, IK09, and NSF rated. The fixture is covered by a 5-year warranty.

All installation and maintenance must follow hazardous location safety protocols. Only qualified personnel should install or service this fixture in classified environments.
