50 Watt Explosion Proof Vapor Tight LED Light | 7000 Lumens | Class 1 Div 2 | 5000K | 100-277V | 4 Foot

Product Overview

This 50 Watt Explosion Proof Vapor Tight LED Light is a linear hazardous location fixture designed for environments where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts are present. It delivers 7000 lumens at 5000K and operates on 100-277V. The fixture is suitable for Class I Division 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III locations, meeting UL 844, UL 1598, UL 1598A, and ABS requirements. Typical installations include paint booths, chemical processing areas, and hazardous storage spaces where vapor-tight, impact-resistant lighting is required.

The 4-foot linear form factor and surface mounting design allow for direct replacement of legacy 250W metal halide vapor tight fixtures. The fixture is built for continuous operation in demanding industrial and marine environments, with a polycarbonate lens and stainless steel housing for durability.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture produces 7000 lumens at 140 lumens per watt, providing efficient illumination for hazardous locations. The 120° beam angle supports uniform coverage in aisle, booth, or process area layouts. Color temperature is 5000K with a CRI above 80, supporting accurate visual inspection and task work.

Electrical performance includes a power factor above 0.95 and THD below 10%. 1-10V dimming is standard. At mounting heights below 8 feet, output may be excessive for confined spaces. For installations above 15 feet, uniformity may decrease without careful spacing.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture supports 1-10V dimming for integration with compatible hazardous location dimming controls. No onboard sensor or wireless control options are included. The linear design provides fixed wide distribution; optical adjustment is not available.

Control wiring must comply with hazardous location requirements. Dimming performance is stable across the full voltage range.

Longevity and Reliability

L70 rated life is 50,000 hours. The fixture is designed for continuous operation in environments with ambient temperatures from -40°F to 122°F. Stainless steel housing and polycarbonate lens resist corrosion, impact, and chemical exposure.

Ingress protection is IP66 and impact rating is IK10. The fixture maintains performance in wet, dusty, and marine environments. No routine re-lamping is required; maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning and inspection.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is stainless steel with a polycarbonate lens, providing high resistance to corrosion and impact. The fixture measures 53 x 8.2 x 4.7 inches and weighs 16 lbs. Surface mounting hardware is included for direct attachment to ceilings or structural supports.

All wiring and enclosure penetrations must maintain hazardous location integrity. The fixture is suitable for wet locations and marine outside type environments. Operating temperature range supports use in both cold storage and high ambient industrial settings.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for hazardous locations where explosion proof and vapor tight performance are required. It is commonly installed in:

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

Environmental characteristics include high resistance to water, dust, impact, and corrosive agents. The fixture is suitable for both indoor and outdoor hazardous areas, including marine and offshore locations.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Surface mounting is standard, with the fixture designed for direct attachment to flat ceilings or structural supports. All electrical connections must be made using hazardous location rated conduit and fittings. The linear form factor supports continuous row or single fixture layouts.

Routine maintenance is limited to cleaning the lens and inspecting seals. The fixture is designed for minimal service requirements over its rated life. Replacement of the entire fixture is recommended at end of life, as field repair is not supported in hazardous locations.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 8 to 15 feet, depending on the required light levels and area size. Fixtures are spaced to provide uniform coverage in paint booths, process aisles, or hazardous storage rooms. Linear layouts are common in booth and corridor applications.

Spacing and fixture count depend on target illumination and hazard classification. Higher output reduces the number of fixtures needed but may increase glare in confined spaces. Layouts should be verified against hazardous area requirements and lighting standards.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is certified to UL 844 for hazardous locations, UL 1598 for wet locations, UL 1598A for marine outside type, and ABS. It is rated for Class I Division 2 Groups A, B, C, D; Class II Division 1 Groups E, F, G; Class II Division 2 Groups F, G; and Class III environments.

Ingress protection is IP66 and impact rating is IK10. The fixture is covered by a 5-year warranty. All installation and maintenance must comply with hazardous location safety standards.
