60 Watt Explosion Proof LED Light | 8100 Lumens | Class 1 Div 1 | 5000K | 100V-277V

Product Overview

This 60 Watt Explosion Proof LED Light is designed for hazardous location lighting where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts are present. It delivers 8100 lumens at 5000K, providing a high-output, white light suitable for critical visibility in classified environments. Typical installations include Class I Division 1 and Division 2 areas, paint booths, and chemical processing spaces where safety and compliance are required.

The fixture is built for use in environments that demand robust protection against ignition sources, including oil and gas facilities, refineries, and solvent storage areas. It is a direct replacement for 250W metal halide units, supporting mounting heights commonly found in process areas, booths, and hazardous work zones.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 8100 lumens at 135 lumens per watt, providing efficient illumination for hazardous locations. The standard 120° beam angle offers broad coverage, with optional 40°, 60°, or 90° optics available for more controlled distribution. The 5000K color temperature supports high-contrast visibility in industrial settings.

Electrical performance includes a power factor above 0.95 and THD below 10%, operating on 100V-277V at 50-60Hz. Excessive output may occur at mounting heights below 10 feet, and uniformity may decrease if installed above 20 feet without proper layout or optic selection.

Adjustability and Control Options

This fixture is available with yoke or 3/4 inch NPT pendant mounting, supporting both ceiling and wall installations. The yoke mount allows for precise aiming, while the pendant option is suited for overhead suspension in process areas or booths.

Dimming is not available on this model. Beam angle can be specified at order to match application requirements. No integrated controls or sensors are included.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 50,000 hours (L70), supporting long-term operation in demanding environments. The copper-free aluminum housing and tempered glass lens resist corrosion and impact, with an IK10 rating for mechanical durability.

10kV surge protection is built in, and the fixture operates reliably from -22°F to 122°F. The sealed design prevents ingress of dust and water, supporting consistent performance over time.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from copper-free aluminum with a gray finish, minimizing corrosion in chemical and marine environments. The fixture measures 11.6 x 11.6 x 9.57 inches and weighs 27 lbs, supporting stable installation in vibration-prone areas.

IP66 and IK10 ratings confirm resistance to water, dust, and impact. The tempered glass lens and robust gasketing maintain enclosure integrity in washdown and hazardous zones.

Where This Product Fits Best

This explosion proof LED fixture is intended for classified hazardous locations where ignitable concentrations of gases, vapors, or dusts are present. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use in process areas, paint booths, and chemical handling spaces. The fixture is also deployed in marine and offshore environments requiring UL 1598A and ABS compliance.

Environmental characteristics include suitability for wet locations, marine environments, and areas with airborne dust or chemical exposure. The fixture is not intended for general-purpose warehouse or sports lighting.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Mounting options include yoke and 3/4 inch NPT pendant, supporting installation on ceilings, walls, or structural supports. The fixture?s weight and size require secure mounting to rated surfaces. All wiring and conduit entries must maintain hazardous location integrity.

Routine inspection of seals and hardware is recommended in corrosive or high-vibration environments. The fixture?s sealed design minimizes maintenance, but lens cleaning may be required in dusty or paint-laden areas.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 10 to 18 feet, depending on the area and required light levels. In paint booths and process areas, fixtures are spaced to provide uniform coverage and minimize shadowing. Optic selection is based on booth size and work zone layout.

Higher output allows for reduced fixture count in open areas, but may increase glare if installed too close to work surfaces. Layouts should consider both classification boundaries and maintenance access.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is certified to UL 844 for hazardous locations, including Class I Division 1 Groups C, D; 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. Additional certifications include UL 1598, UL 1598A Marine Outside Type, and ABS. IP66 and IK10 ratings apply.

The product includes a 5-year warranty. All certifications and ratings are maintained when installed per manufacturer instructions and local code requirements.
