5 Watt Explosion Proof Exit LED Light | Class 1 Div 1

Product Overview

We supply a 5 Watt Explosion Proof Exit LED Light designed for hazardous location lighting and marine environment lighting. This fixture is built for use in areas where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts are present, and where code-compliant emergency exit marking is required. Typical installations include chemical processing facilities, oil and gas sites, and marine platforms where Class I, Division 1 and Division 2 compliance is mandatory.

The fixture operates on 100-277V, delivers specified lumens at 5000K, and is suitable for both chain-cable and 3/4 in NPT pendant mounting. The tempered glass lens and aluminum alloy housing provide durability in harsh environments, including outdoor and wet locations.

Core Performance and Output

This 5 watt LED exit light is engineered for reliable emergency egress marking in hazardous and marine environments. Output is optimized for visibility of exit signage rather than area illumination. The fixture maintains high efficiency and uniformity for code-compliant exit marking, with a power factor above 0.95 and total harmonic distortion below 10%.

Beam distribution is fixed and purpose-built for exit sign visibility. Excessive output is not a concern at typical mounting heights, but this fixture is not intended for general area lighting or high-mount installations where greater lumen output is required.

Adjustability and Control Options

This fixture does not include dimming or advanced control features. Operation is on/off only, consistent with emergency exit lighting requirements in hazardous locations. The unit is compatible with standard emergency lighting circuits and backup power systems as required by code.

Mounting flexibility is provided via chain-cable or 3/4 in NPT pendant options, allowing adaptation to a range of ceiling types and installation conditions.

Longevity and Reliability

The LED light source is rated for 50,000 hours (L70), supporting long-term, low-maintenance operation in demanding environments. The fixture is designed to withstand frequent power cycling and exposure to vibration, dust, and corrosive atmospheres.

Surge protection is rated at 10kV, and the fixture maintains performance across a wide temperature range from -40°F to 140°F. The IP66 and IK10 ratings ensure resistance to water ingress and mechanical impact.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from aluminum alloy for corrosion resistance and durability. The tempered glass lens provides impact protection and maintains optical clarity over time. The fixture measures 16 x 11.7 inches and weighs 14 lbs, supporting secure mounting in overhead or exposed locations.

All hardware and gasketing are designed for hazardous, marine, and wet location use. The fixture is suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation where hazardous location ratings are required.

Where This Product Fits Best

This explosion proof exit LED light is intended for hazardous and marine environments where emergency exit marking must meet stringent safety codes. It is commonly installed in:

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

The fixture is suitable for locations with flammable gases, vapors, dusts, or corrosive atmospheres. It is also appropriate for marine and outdoor hazardous areas requiring UL 844, UL 924, and UL 1598A compliance.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Chain-cable and 3/4 in NPT pendant mounting options support installation on a variety of ceiling types, including concrete, steel, and marine structures. The fixture?s weight and dimensions require secure mounting points and proper support during installation.

Routine maintenance is minimal due to the sealed, non-serviceable design and long LED lifespan. Periodic inspection of mounting hardware and electrical connections is recommended in high-vibration or corrosive environments.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 7 to 12 feet, positioned above exit doors or along egress paths in hazardous or marine-rated spaces. Spacing is determined by code requirements for exit sign visibility and local emergency lighting standards.

Fixtures are often installed in pairs or at intervals to ensure continuous egress marking. In some layouts, higher mounting may require additional fixtures to maintain visibility, but excessive spacing can reduce compliance with emergency egress codes.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is certified to UL 844, UL 924, UL 1598A, UL 1598, and UL 8750 standards. It is rated for Class I, Division 1 and 2; Class II, Division 1 and 2; and Class III hazardous locations. IP66 and IK10 ratings confirm suitability for wet, marine, and high-impact environments.

The product includes a 5-year warranty covering manufacturing defects and LED performance. All certifications and ratings are maintained when installed according to manufacturer instructions and applicable codes.
