60 Watt Explosion Proof Vapor Tight LED Light | 8400 Lumens | Class 1 Div 2 | 5000K | 100-277V

Product Overview

This 60 Watt Explosion Proof Vapor Tight 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, daylight-white output suitable for critical visibility in classified environments. The linear form factor and surface mounting configuration are suited for installation in paint booths, chemical processing areas, and similar hazardous spaces where vapor-tight, impact-resistant construction is required.

Typical installations include Class I, Division 2 locations and environments requiring UL 844, UL 1598, UL 1598A, and ABS certifications. The stainless steel housing and IP66/IK10 ratings support use in demanding industrial and marine settings. This fixture is commonly used as a 250W metal halide replacement at mounting heights from 8 to 16 feet.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 8400 lumens at 60 watts, achieving 140 lumens per watt. The 120° beam angle provides wide, even coverage for open hazardous areas and work zones. Color temperature is 5000K with a CRI above 80, supporting accurate color rendering in inspection and process environments. Power factor exceeds 0.95 and THD is below 10% for stable electrical performance on 100-277V circuits.

Uniformity is consistent at standard mounting heights. At lower heights, output may be excessive for confined spaces. At higher mounting heights above 16 feet, light levels may decrease and spacing may need to be reduced to maintain uniformity.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture supports 1-10V dimming for output adjustment and integration with lighting controls. Dimming allows for energy management and adaptation to process requirements or occupancy schedules. The wide beam distribution is fixed; no field-adjustable optics are included.

Control wiring is accessible through the surface mount housing. No onboard occupancy or daylight sensors are included. External control systems can be integrated as needed for hazardous location compliance.

Longevity and Reliability

L70 rated life is 50,000 hours, supporting long-term operation in continuous-use environments. The stainless steel housing and polycarbonate lens resist corrosion, impact, and chemical exposure. The fixture is designed for minimal maintenance in locations where access is limited or hazardous.

Operating temperature range is -40°F to 122°F. The fixture maintains performance in both cold storage and high ambient industrial settings. All components are sealed against dust and water ingress to IP66 standards.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and mechanical durability. The lens is polycarbonate, rated IK10 for impact protection. The fixture measures 53 inches long, 8.2 inches wide, and 4.7 inches high, with a total weight of 16 lbs. Surface mounting hardware is included for secure installation on ceilings or structural supports.

All wiring and connections are sealed for hazardous location compliance. The fixture is suitable for wet locations and marine environments, with UL 1598A and ABS certifications. No external drivers or ballasts are required.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for hazardous and classified environments where explosion proof, vapor tight, and impact-resistant lighting is required. It is suitable for both industrial and marine settings where compliance with Class I, II, and III standards is mandatory.

• 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 withstands exposure to corrosive chemicals, salt spray, and high humidity. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor covered installations where vapor and dust ingress protection is required.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Surface mounting is standard, with stainless steel brackets and hardware included. The fixture is designed for direct attachment to ceilings, beams, or structural supports in classified areas. All wiring must be performed in accordance with hazardous location codes and standards.

Routine maintenance is minimal due to the sealed, solid-state design. The polycarbonate lens can be cleaned with non-abrasive materials. Access for inspection or replacement is straightforward, but always requires adherence to facility safety protocols for hazardous locations.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 8 to 16 feet, depending on the required light levels and area size. Fixtures are spaced to achieve uniform coverage, with closer spacing in areas requiring higher illumination or where obstructions are present. Linear layouts are common in paint booths and process aisles.

Higher output allows for reduced fixture count in open areas, but may increase glare if installed too close to work surfaces. Spacing and layout should be confirmed based on application-specific lighting requirements and hazard classifications.

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 E, F, G; Class II, Division 2, Groups F, G; and Class III. Additional certifications include UL 1598, UL 1598A, and ABS. The fixture is IP66 and IK10 rated.

Warranty coverage is 5 years. All certifications and ratings are maintained for the full warranty period when installed and operated according to manufacturer guidelines.
