50 Watt 2 Foot Explosion Proof Linear LED Light | 8000 Lumens | Class 1 Div 2 | 5000K | 100-277V | Optional 10 Year Warranty

Product Overview

This 50 Watt 2 Foot Explosion Proof Linear LED Light is designed for hazardous location lighting where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts are present. It delivers 8000 lumens at 5000K, providing clear, consistent illumination in classified environments. The fixture is suitable for Class I Division 2, Class II Division 2, and Class III locations, with a compact linear form factor that fits well in confined or low-clearance areas.

Typical installations include oil and gas facilities, chemical processing plants, paint booths, and solvent storage areas. The fixture supports surface, trunnion, or 3/4 inch NPT pendant mounting, allowing flexibility for ceiling, wall, or structure attachment in hazardous zones.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 8000 lumens at 160 lumens per watt, providing efficient, high-visibility lighting for hazardous environments. The 120° beam angle and frosted polycarbonate lens deliver wide, diffused coverage suitable for task and general area lighting. The 50W input is a direct replacement for 250W metal halide units, reducing energy consumption and maintenance.

Electrical performance includes 100-277V operation, a power factor above 0.90, and THD below 10%. Excessive output may occur at mounting heights below 8 feet, and uniformity may decrease if spacing exceeds typical hazardous area layout standards.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture supports 1-10V dimming for integration with lighting control systems or manual dimmers. This allows for output adjustment based on process requirements or occupancy. No onboard sensor options are included; external controls must be specified separately if needed.

Mounting options include surface, trunnion, and 3/4 inch NPT pendant, supporting a range of installation orientations. The fixture is not field-adjustable for beam angle or lens type.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 150,000 hours (L70), supporting long-term operation in demanding environments. The housing is fiberglass-reinforced polycarbonate, providing resistance to corrosion, impact, and chemical exposure. Surge protection is rated at 6kV, supporting electrical reliability in industrial settings.

Operating temperature range is -40°F to 113°F, suitable for most indoor and sheltered outdoor hazardous locations. The fixture is IP66 and IK08 rated, supporting use in wet, dusty, and high-impact areas.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The fixture measures 24.3 inches long, 4.7 inches wide, and 4.8 inches high, with a weight of 7.7 lbs. The gray housing is non-metallic and non-sparking, reducing ignition risk in classified areas. The frosted polycarbonate lens provides glare control and impact resistance.

All hardware is corrosion-resistant. The fixture is supplied without a cord, supporting hardwired installation to meet hazardous location requirements. No field modifications are permitted that would compromise certification.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for classified hazardous locations where explosive gases, vapors, or dusts may be present. It is commonly installed in process areas, storage zones, and maintenance spaces within industrial facilities that require explosion proof lighting. The compact linear design is suited for corridors, walkways, and equipment rooms where space is limited.

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

The fixture is suitable for wet locations, marine outside type environments, and areas with corrosive or dusty atmospheres. It is not intended for use in general-purpose industrial or commercial spaces outside of classified hazardous zones.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Mounting options include surface, trunnion, or 3/4 inch NPT pendant, supporting installation on ceilings, walls, or structural supports. The fixture is designed for hardwired connection in accordance with hazardous location codes. No cord is supplied, and field wiring must maintain the integrity of the explosion proof enclosure.

Routine inspection and cleaning are recommended to maintain lens clarity and housing integrity. The fixture?s non-metallic construction reduces corrosion risk in marine or chemical environments. Long-term reliability is supported by the robust housing and high ingress protection ratings.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 8 to 16 feet, depending on the area classification and required light levels. Fixtures are often spaced to provide overlapping coverage in process aisles, equipment rooms, or storage areas. Linear form factor supports installation along walkways, above workstations, or in confined spaces where round fixtures are impractical.

Spacing and layout should be determined based on hazard classification, required illumination, and fixture output. Higher output may reduce fixture count but can increase glare if not properly shielded or spaced.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is certified to UL 844 for hazardous locations, with Class I Division 2 (Groups B, C, D), Class II Division 2 (Groups F, G), and Class III ratings. Additional certifications include UL 1598 for wet locations, UL 1598A for marine outside type, CSA, ATEX, and IECEx. The fixture is IP66 and IK08 rated for ingress and impact protection.

Standard warranty is 5 years, with an optional 10-year warranty available. All certifications and ratings are maintained when installed according to manufacturer instructions and hazardous location codes.
