50 Watt Round Explosion Proof LED Light | 7000 Lumens | Class 1 Div 1 | 5000K | 100-277V | Optional 10 Year Warranty

Product Overview

This 50 Watt Round Explosion Proof LED Light is designed for hazardous location lighting where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts are present. It delivers 7000 lumens at 5000K, providing clear, high-visibility illumination in environments that require strict safety compliance. Typical installations include oil and gas facilities, chemical processing plants, and paint booths where Class I, II, and III hazardous classifications apply.

The fixture is built for use in areas where traditional metal halide or HID fixtures are being replaced, offering a compact round form factor suitable for mounting heights commonly found in process areas, storage zones, and confined industrial spaces. It supports both yoke and 3/4 in NPT pendant mounting for flexible installation.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 7000 lumens at 140 lumens per watt, providing efficient, uniform coverage for hazardous environments. The 120° beam angle supports wide area illumination, reducing shadowing and dark spots in process zones and work areas. The 5000K color temperature delivers neutral white light for accurate visibility and color rendering.

Electrical performance includes 100-277V input, a power factor above 0.90, and total harmonic distortion below 10%. The fixture is dimmable via 1-10V controls. At mounting heights below 10 feet, output may be excessive for small rooms or confined spaces. Uniformity can decrease at mounting heights above 18 feet without supplemental fixtures.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture supports 1-10V dimming for output adjustment in response to task requirements or occupancy. Dimming controls can be integrated with compatible hazardous location-rated systems. The yoke mount allows for precise aiming and tilt adjustment, while the pendant mount provides fixed vertical orientation.

No onboard sensor or wireless control options are included. All adjustments must be made through external dimming controls or by physically repositioning the fixture during installation.

Longevity and Reliability

This explosion proof LED fixture is rated for 150,000 hours (L70), supporting long-term operation in demanding environments. The fixture is designed for continuous use in areas with frequent exposure to dust, moisture, and vibration.

Thermal management is passive, with no moving parts. The fixture maintains performance in ambient temperatures from -22°F to 122°F. Surge protection is rated at 6kV, supporting reliability during power fluctuations common in industrial settings.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is powder coated aluminum, providing corrosion resistance and durability in harsh environments. The tempered glass lens is impact resistant and rated IK10 for mechanical protection. The fixture is IP66 rated for dust-tight and water jet protection, and UL 1598A Marine Outside Type certified for marine and offshore use.

Dimensions are 13.7 x 11.2 inches, with a weight of 20 lbs. No cord is supplied; field wiring is required. Mounting options include yoke, 3/4 in NPT pendant, surface, or wall mounting, supporting a range of installation scenarios.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for hazardous locations where explosion proof lighting is required. It is suitable for use in environments with flammable gases, vapors, combustible dusts, or fibers. Typical installations include process areas, storage rooms, and confined spaces in oil and gas, chemical, and marine facilities.

• hazardous location lighting
• explosion proof lighting
• paint booth lighting
• chemical processing facility lighting
• oil and gas facility lighting
• refinery lighting
• marine environment lighting
• wastewater treatment lighting

The fixture is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, including marine and offshore environments. It is designed to withstand exposure to dust, water, corrosive atmospheres, and mechanical impacts.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Mounting options include yoke and 3/4 in NPT pendant, with optional surface or wall mounting available. The fixture is compatible with standard hazardous location wiring methods. Installation requires secure attachment to rigid structures and proper sealing of conduit entries to maintain hazardous location ratings.

Routine maintenance is minimal due to the long LED lifespan and sealed construction. Periodic inspection of mounting hardware and electrical connections is recommended, especially in high-vibration or corrosive environments. No relamping is required, reducing maintenance intervals compared to legacy HID fixtures.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

This fixture is typically installed at mounting heights between 10 and 18 feet, depending on the area size and required light levels. Spacing is determined by the 120° beam angle and the need for uniform coverage, with closer spacing in areas requiring higher illumination or where obstructions are present.

In process areas and paint booths, fixtures are often arranged in grid or perimeter layouts to minimize shadows. Higher output can reduce fixture count but may increase glare if not properly aimed or shielded. Layouts should consider both task lighting needs and compliance with hazardous location codes.

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 Marine Outside Type, CSA, ATEX, and IECEx. The fixture is IP66 and IK10 rated.

An optional 10-year warranty is available. All certifications and ratings are maintained when installed according to manufacturer instructions and hazardous location requirements.
