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

Product Overview

This 40 watt explosion proof 2x2 low profile linear LED light delivers 5600 lumens at 140 lumens per watt in a compact form factor rated for hazardous location use. The fixture is UL 844 listed for Class 1 Division 2 Groups A, B, C, D, Class 2 Division 1 Groups F, G, and Class 3 environments where ignitable gases, vapors, dusts, or fibers may be present.

At 25.2 x 23.8 x 3.7 inches and 46.3 pounds, this fixture maintains a low profile ceiling presence while providing direct replacement capability for 150 to 250 watt metal halide fixtures. The polycarbonate lens produces a 120-degree beam angle suitable for general area illumination in spaces with standard ceiling heights.

Output is fixed at 5000K with a CRI of 70+. The driver accepts 100-277V input at 50-60Hz and supports 1-10V dimming for integration with compatible control systems.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is built for locations where flammable gases, vapors, combustible dusts, or ignitable fibers may exist in quantities insufficient for ignition under normal operating conditions but could become hazardous during maintenance, process upset, or abnormal operation. Class 1 Division 2 coverage addresses petroleum refineries, chemical processing areas, spray booth adjacencies, and fuel handling zones. Class 2 Division 1 rating extends use into grain handling facilities, coal preparation plants, and other dust-producing environments.

The 2x2 footprint and low profile housing make this fixture appropriate for hazardous areas with limited ceiling clearance or where existing grid infrastructure supports drop-in placement. Surface, recessed, and chain or cable mounting options allow adaptation to different structural conditions.

Operating temperature range of -22°F to 122°F supports installation in cold storage transition zones, outdoor covered process areas, and heated indoor industrial spaces. The NSF rating indicates suitability for food processing environments where sanitation requirements apply.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The 5600 lumen output from 40 watts represents a significant reduction in energy consumption compared to the 150 to 250 watt metal halide fixtures this unit replaces. Efficacy of 140 lumens per watt reflects current LED performance levels for hazardous location fixtures in this class.

The 5000K color temperature produces a neutral white light appropriate for task visibility in industrial settings. A CRI of 70+ is adequate for general manufacturing, processing, and storage applications where color accuracy is functional rather than critical.

Power factor exceeds 0.95 and total harmonic distortion remains below 10%, indicating clean electrical characteristics that minimize impact on facility power systems. The 50,000 hour L70 lifespan establishes the point at which output is expected to decline to 70% of initial lumens under standard operating conditions.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Three mounting methods are supported: chain or cable suspension, recessed installation, and surface mounting. The 46.3 pound weight requires appropriate structural support and may necessitate additional blocking for recessed applications in lightweight ceiling systems.

IP66 rating means the fixture is protected against dust ingress and powerful water jets from any direction. IK09 impact resistance allows the housing to withstand mechanical impacts equivalent to 10 joules without compromising the enclosure. These ratings support use in washdown environments and areas subject to incidental contact from equipment or materials handling.

The 100-277V input range eliminates voltage compatibility concerns across typical commercial and industrial electrical systems in North America. The 1-10V dimming interface requires compatible control infrastructure where light level adjustment is needed.

At 50,000 hours of rated life, facilities operating fixtures 12 hours per day can anticipate approximately 11 years before lumen depreciation reaches the L70 threshold. Actual service life depends on operating temperature, voltage stability, and environmental exposure.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Once installed, this fixture operates as a fixed-output light source or integrates with 1-10V dimming controls where variable light levels are required. The dimming capability allows facilities to reduce output during low-activity periods or balance light levels across zones with different task requirements.

The wide 120-degree beam angle provides broad coverage directly below the fixture, reducing the need for supplemental lighting in general area applications. In spaces with specific task lighting requirements, the beam spread may require layout adjustments to achieve desired foot-candle levels at work surfaces.

Maintenance personnel access the fixture using the same mounting method used for installation. The robust construction and sealed enclosure minimize the need for lens cleaning or component replacement under normal operating conditions within the rated lifespan.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is UL 844 listed for hazardous locations including Class 1 Division 2 Groups A, B, C, D, Class 2 Division 1 Groups F, G, and Class 3 environments. The listing confirms the fixture meets construction and performance requirements for use where flammable or combustible materials may be present.

The fixture is NSF rated for use in food processing and preparation environments. IP66 and IK09 ratings establish dust protection, water jet resistance, and mechanical impact tolerance.

This product is rebate eligible through applicable utility programs. We provide a 5-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and installation conditions.
