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 explosion proof linear LED fixture delivers 8000 lumens at 160 lumens per watt in a compact 2-foot form factor. It is UL844 listed for Class 1 Division 2 (Groups B, C, D), Class 2 Division 2 (Groups F, G), and Class 3 hazardous locations. The fixture also carries CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications.

The housing is fiberglass reinforced polycarbonate with a frosted polycarbonate lens. It measures 24.3 x 4.7 x 4.8 inches and weighs 7.7 pounds. Color temperature is 5000K with a CRI of 70+. The fixture ships without a cord and mounts via pendant or trunnion hardware.

This fixture replaces 250 watt metal halide in hazardous location applications where fluorescent lighting has traditionally been specified. Voltage input is 100-277V at 50-60Hz. Standard warranty is 5 years with an optional 10-year warranty available.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is built for classified hazardous locations where ignitable gases, vapors, dusts, or fibers may be present. Class 1 Division 2 coverage includes Groups B, C, and D, which applies to areas where flammable gases or vapors are handled but not normally present in ignitable concentrations during routine operation. Class 2 Division 2 (Groups F, G) covers combustible dust environments under similar conditions.

The UL 1598 and UL 1598A wet location rating allows installation in areas exposed to direct moisture, water spray, or washdown conditions. The IP66 rating means the fixture is sealed against dust ingress and protected against high-pressure water jets from any direction.

Operating temperature range is -40°F to 113°F, which supports both cold storage and warm industrial environments. The 2-foot length fits well in confined spaces, equipment rooms, and areas where longer linear fixtures cannot be accommodated.

Performance and Functional Considerations

At 50 watts and 8000 lumens, this fixture achieves 160 lumens per watt. The 5000K color temperature produces a neutral white output suitable for task visibility and inspection work. CRI is rated at 70+, which is adequate for general industrial applications but may not suit color-critical environments.

The 120-degree beam angle from the frosted polycarbonate lens provides broad light distribution. The fixture supports 1-10V dimming, allowing integration with compatible control systems where light level adjustment is required.

Rated lifespan is 150,000 hours at L70, meaning the fixture is expected to retain 70% of initial lumen output at that point. Power factor exceeds 0.90 and total harmonic distortion is under 10%, which supports stable operation on shared electrical systems. Surge protection is rated at 6kV.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fixture accepts 100-277V input at 50-60Hz without requiring external transformers or voltage-specific drivers. This covers standard commercial and industrial electrical systems in most facilities. Mounting options are pendant and trunnion, which allows ceiling suspension or surface attachment depending on structural conditions.

No cord is included. Field wiring is required at installation. The fiberglass reinforced polycarbonate housing resists corrosion and impact without the weight of traditional metal explosion proof enclosures. At 7.7 pounds, the fixture is manageable for single-person installation in most configurations.

The IK08 rating means the housing withstands moderate mechanical impact equivalent to a 1.7-joule strike. This provides reasonable protection against incidental contact but is not intended for high-abuse environments. The IP66 seal and wet location listing support routine cleaning and hose-down maintenance without fixture damage.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Once installed, this fixture operates as a direct replacement for fluorescent or HID lighting in hazardous classified spaces. Facilities replacing 250 watt metal halide use this fixture to reduce energy consumption while maintaining usable light levels in the same footprint.

The 1-10V dimming input allows the fixture to respond to external dimming controls where installed. This is useful in spaces where light levels are adjusted for different shifts, tasks, or occupancy conditions. Without a dimming signal, the fixture operates at full output.

The compact 2-foot length makes this fixture practical for equipment rooms, mechanical spaces, walkways, and areas where longer linear fixtures would not fit or would interfere with clearance requirements. The gray finish blends with typical industrial environments.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is UL844 listed for hazardous locations. It is rated for Class 1 Division 2 (Groups B, C, D), Class 2 Division 2 (Groups F, G), and Class 3. It also carries CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications. The wet location listing covers UL 1598 and UL 1598A.

Standard warranty coverage is 5 years. An optional 10-year warranty is available at time of purchase. Warranty terms apply to defects in materials and workmanship under normal operating conditions.
