60 Watt Explosion Proof 2x2 Low Profile Linear LED Light | 8400 Lumens | Class 1 Div 2 | 5000K | 100-277V

Product Overview

This 60 Watt Explosion Proof 2x2 Low Profile Linear LED Light is designed for hazardous location lighting where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts are present. The fixture delivers 8400 lumens at 5000K, providing a clear, neutral-white light suitable for critical visibility in classified environments. Typical installations include paint booths, chemical processing areas, and solvent storage zones where Class I, II, and III ratings are required.

The low-profile linear form factor allows for mounting in areas with limited ceiling space or where overhead obstructions are present. This fixture is commonly used as a direct replacement for 250W metal halide units in hazardous locations, supporting mounting heights from 8 to 16 feet depending on the required light levels and layout.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 8400 lumens at 140 lumens per watt, providing efficient illumination for hazardous environments. The 120° beam angle delivers wide, even coverage, minimizing shadowing in work areas. The 5000K color temperature supports accurate color rendering and task visibility.

Electrical performance includes a power factor above 0.95 and total harmonic distortion below 10%, supporting stable operation on 100-277V circuits. At lower mounting heights, output may be excessive for small enclosures; consider layout and spacing to avoid glare or over-lighting. Uniformity may decrease if installed above 16 feet or in large open spaces without supplemental fixtures.

Adjustability and Control Options

This explosion proof linear LED supports 1-10V dimming for output adjustment and integration with compatible control systems. Dimming enables tuning of light levels to match process requirements or energy management protocols.

Standard mounting options include chain-cable, recessed, or surface installation, allowing adaptation to ceiling structure and clearance constraints. The fixture is not field-adjustable for beam angle or optics beyond the supplied 120° polycarbonate lens.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 50,000 hours (L70), supporting long-term operation in demanding environments. The sealed housing and robust lens protect internal components from dust, moisture, and impact.

Operating temperature range is -22°F to 122°F, suitable for most indoor and sheltered outdoor hazardous locations. The fixture maintains performance in areas subject to temperature fluctuations, vibration, or chemical exposure typical of industrial hazardous sites.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The fixture measures 25.2 inches long by 23.8 inches wide and 3.7 inches high, with a weight of 46.3 lbs. The low-profile design supports installation in areas with limited overhead clearance or where space is restricted by process equipment.

Rated IP66 and IK09, the housing is fully protected against dust ingress, high-pressure water jets, and moderate mechanical impact. The polycarbonate lens and corrosion-resistant construction support use in harsh industrial and marine environments.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for classified hazardous locations where explosion proof or vapor-tight lighting is required. It is suitable for environments with flammable gases, vapors, combustible dusts, or fibers, and where NSF or washdown ratings are needed.

• hazardous location lighting
• paint booth lighting
• explosion proof lighting
• chemical processing facility lighting
• oil and gas facility lighting
• refinery lighting
• wastewater treatment lighting
• solvent storage area lighting

The fixture is designed for use in environments requiring UL 844, Class I Div 2, Class II Div 1, and Class III compliance, as well as IP66 and NSF ratings. It is suitable for both indoor and sheltered outdoor hazardous locations where durability and ingress protection are critical.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Chain-cable, recessed, and surface mounting options allow adaptation to a range of ceiling types and structural conditions. The fixture?s weight and size require secure mounting points and may need two-person handling during installation.

Wiring is compatible with standard 100-277V circuits. The sealed housing and NSF rating support installation in areas subject to washdown or chemical exposure. Routine inspection of mounting hardware and lens condition is recommended for long-term reliability.

Maintenance requirements are minimal due to the solid-state LED design. Replacement is typically driven by process changes or end-of-life, not routine lamp failure.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 8 to 16 feet, depending on the application and required light levels. Fixtures are often spaced to provide uniform coverage along process lines, inside paint booths, or above chemical storage areas.

In paint booths and hazardous process areas, linear layouts are used to minimize shadows and support code-compliant illumination. Higher output may reduce fixture count but can increase glare if not properly spaced or shielded.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is certified to UL 844 for hazardous locations, including Class I Division 2 Groups A, B, C, D; Class II Division 1 Groups F, G; and Class III. It is IP66, IK09, and NSF rated. The product is covered by a 5-year warranty.

All certifications are listed for code compliance and inspection requirements in hazardous and food-related environments.
