Product Overview
This 50 Watt Explosion Proof Linear LED Light is designed for hazardous location lighting where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts are present. The fixture delivers 7000 lumens at 5000K and operates on 100-277V. It is suitable for use in Class I, Division 1 and Division 2, as well as Class II and III environments. Typical installations include paint booths, chemical processing areas, and solvent storage zones where compliance with strict safety standards is required.
The linear form factor and compact 24-inch housing allow for mounting in confined or overhead spaces. This fixture is commonly used as a direct replacement for 250W metal halide units in hazardous and corrosive environments, supporting both yoke and 3/4 inch NPT pendant mounting methods.
Core Performance and Output
This fixture provides 7000 lumens at 140 lumens per watt, with a 120° beam angle for broad, even coverage. The 5000K color temperature supports high-visibility tasks in hazardous locations. Power factor exceeds 0.95, and total harmonic distortion is below 10%, supporting stable operation on industrial circuits.
Output is appropriate for mounting heights between 10 and 18 feet, typical for paint booths and process areas. At lower mounting heights, output may be excessive for small enclosures. Uniformity can be affected if spacing exceeds recommended guidelines in large open hazardous zones.
Adjustability and Control Options
The fixture supports 1-10V dimming for output adjustment and integration with hazardous location lighting controls. Dimming enables tuning of light levels to match process requirements or energy management protocols.
Yoke and pendant mounting options allow for directional aiming and flexible installation in overhead or wall-mounted positions. The fixture is not field-adjustable for beam angle or lens type.
Longevity and Reliability
L70 rated life is 50,000 hours, supporting long-term operation in demanding environments. The fixture is constructed with a copper-free aluminum housing and tempered glass lens for resistance to corrosion and impact.
IP66 and IK10 ratings ensure protection against water, dust, and mechanical impact. The fixture operates reliably in ambient temperatures from -22°F to 122°F. Maintenance intervals are minimized due to solid-state LED design and robust construction.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The housing is gray, copper-free aluminum with a tempered glass lens. The fixture measures 24 x 5.5 x 8.1 inches and weighs 20 lbs. All hardware and gasketing are designed for hazardous and corrosive environments.
UL 844, UL 1598, UL 1598A, ABS, and NSF certifications are met. The fixture is suitable for wet locations and marine outside type applications. Mounting options include yoke or 3/4 inch NPT pendant for secure installation in hazardous areas.
Where This Product Fits Best
This fixture is intended for hazardous locations where explosion proof lighting is required. It is suitable for environments with flammable gases, vapors, dusts, or fibers, and where compliance with Class I, II, or III standards is mandatory. The linear form factor supports installation in paint booths, process lines, and chemical storage areas.

- oil and gas facility lighting
- refinery lighting
- marine environment lighting
- solvent storage area lighting
Environmental characteristics include resistance to water, dust, impact, and corrosive agents. The fixture is suitable for both indoor and outdoor hazardous locations, including marine and offshore environments.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Mounting options include yoke or 3/4 inch NPT pendant, supporting ceiling, wall, or pendant installations. The fixture?s 20 lb weight and compact size allow for single-person handling in most cases. All wiring and mounting must comply with hazardous location codes and practices.
Routine inspection is recommended to ensure gasket integrity and lens condition in corrosive or wet environments. The fixture?s solid-state design reduces the need for lamp or ballast replacement. Long-term use is supported by robust construction and certified ingress protection.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Typical mounting heights range from 10 to 18 feet, depending on the size of the hazardous area and required light levels. Fixtures are often spaced to provide overlapping coverage in paint booths or process lines, with layout determined by hazard classification and task requirements.
In chemical processing and solvent storage areas, fixtures are installed to minimize shadowing and maintain uniform illumination. Higher output can reduce fixture count but may require careful aiming to avoid glare or over-lighting in confined spaces.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This fixture is certified to UL 844 for hazardous locations, including Class I, Division 1 and 2; Class II, Division 1 and 2; and Class III. Additional certifications include UL 1598, UL 1598A, ABS, IP66, IK10, and NSF. The fixture is suitable for wet locations and marine outside type environments.
Operating temperature range is -22°F to 122°F. Warranty is 5 years. All certifications and ratings are maintained when installed according to manufacturer instructions and hazardous location codes.
