5 Watt Explosion Proof Exit Emergency LED Light | Class 1 Div 1 | Class 2 Div 1

Product Overview

This 5 watt LED explosion proof exit emergency light is built for Class I Division 1 and Class II Division 1 hazardous locations where ignitable gases, vapors, dusts, or fibers may be present during normal operations. The fixture combines exit signage with integrated emergency backup capable of up to 3 hours of operation during power loss.

The housing is cast aluminum alloy with a tempered glass lens, rated IP66 for protection against dust ingress and high-pressure water jets, and IK10 for resistance to heavy physical impact. The LED board and drivers are replaceable, and the exit indicator content can be changed to match facility signage requirements.

Operating voltage spans 100V to 277V at 50-60Hz. The fixture weighs 14 pounds with dimensions of 16 x 11.7 inches. Rated lifespan is 50,000 hours at L70.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is designed for environments classified under UL 844 hazardous location standards. It covers Class I Division 1 Groups C and D, Class I Division 2 Groups A, B, C, and D, Class II Division 1 Groups E, F, and G, Class II Division 2 Groups F and G, and Class III locations. These classifications include areas with flammable gases, combustible dust, and ignitable fibers.

The UL 1598A Marine Outside Type listing makes this fixture suitable for marine vessel exteriors and offshore installations. The UL 1598 wet location rating allows mounting in areas exposed to direct water contact. Operating temperature range of -40 degrees F to 140 degrees F supports installation in cold storage, process areas, and high-heat industrial spaces.

Typical environments include refineries, chemical processing plants, grain handling facilities, paint spray booths, marine platforms, and other locations requiring both hazardous location certification and emergency egress lighting.

Performance and Functional Considerations

At 5 watts, this fixture draws minimal power while providing exit indication. The emergency backup system maintains illumination for up to 3 hours when facility power fails, meeting UL 924 emergency lighting requirements for egress applications.

Power factor exceeds 0.95 with total harmonic distortion under 10 percent, supporting stable operation on facility electrical systems. The 100V to 277V input range accommodates common North American commercial and industrial voltage configurations without requiring external transformers.

The tempered glass lens provides optical clarity while withstanding thermal shock and mechanical stress in demanding environments.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Mounting options include chain-cable suspension or 3/4 inch NPT pendant mount. An integrated junction box houses the driver and emergency backup components. At 14 pounds, the fixture requires appropriate structural support at the mounting point.

The replaceable LED board and driver design allows component-level service without full fixture replacement. The exit indicator content is also replaceable, permitting updates if egress paths change or signage requirements are modified.

High vibration and high impact resistance support long-term reliability in industrial environments with mechanical equipment, vehicle traffic, or process-related vibration. The IK10 rating means the fixture can withstand severe mechanical impacts without damage to the housing or lens.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Facilities install this fixture where egress signage must remain visible during power outages in hazardous classified areas. The integrated emergency backup eliminates the need for separate battery units or central inverter systems to maintain exit sign illumination.

The replaceable indicator content allows maintenance personnel to update exit signage direction or text without replacing the entire fixture. When the LED board or driver reaches end of life, those components can be swapped independently, keeping the certified housing in service.

In marine and offshore applications, the wet location rating and marine type listing allow exterior mounting on vessels and platforms where salt spray, humidity, and weather exposure are constant factors.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is ETL listed. Hazardous location certification covers UL 844 for the Class and Division ratings specified. Emergency lighting performance meets UL 924. LED safety is certified under UL 8750. Marine suitability is confirmed under UL 1598A Marine Outside Type.

The IP66 rating means the fixture is dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets from any direction. The IK10 rating means the enclosure can withstand significant mechanical impact without compromising the hazardous location seal.
