Product Overview
This 70 Watt Round Explosion Proof LED Light is designed for hazardous location lighting where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts are present. It delivers 9800 lumens at 5000K, providing a high-output, energy-efficient alternative to traditional 250W metal halide fixtures. The fixture is suitable for use in Class I Division 1 and Division 2, Class II, and Class III environments, with a robust housing and multiple mounting options for demanding industrial settings.
Typical installations include oil and gas facilities, chemical processing plants, paint booths, and other classified hazardous areas. The fixture supports both yoke and 3/4 inch NPT pendant mounting, allowing for flexible deployment in new construction or retrofit projects. Marine and wet location ratings extend its use to offshore and corrosive environments.
Core Performance and Output
This fixture outputs 9800 lumens at 70 watts, achieving 140 lumens per watt. The 120° beam angle provides wide, even coverage suitable for open hazardous areas and process spaces. Color temperature is 5000K with a CRI above 70, supporting visual clarity in industrial tasks. Power factor exceeds 0.90 and THD is below 10% for stable electrical performance.
At mounting heights between 10 and 20 feet, the fixture provides effective illumination for most hazardous location tasks. Excessive output may occur at lower mounting heights, requiring careful layout to avoid glare. Uniformity may decrease if spacing exceeds recommended distances in large open areas.
Adjustability and Control Options
The fixture supports 1-10V dimming for output adjustment and integration with lighting controls. This allows for energy management and adaptation to process requirements. Dimming is compatible with standard industrial control systems.
Mounting options include yoke and 3/4 inch NPT pendant, with optional surface or wall mounting kits available. The fixture can be oriented as needed for task or area lighting in hazardous environments.
Longevity and Reliability
L70 rated life is 150,000 hours, supporting long-term operation in continuous-use environments. The fixture is designed for minimal maintenance, with no lamps or ballasts to replace. Operating temperature range is -22°F to 122°F, suitable for most indoor and sheltered outdoor hazardous locations.
Powder coated aluminum housing, tempered glass lens, and IP66/IK10 ratings protect against dust, water, and impact. 10kV surge protection is included for electrical reliability in industrial power systems.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The fixture housing is powder coated aluminum, providing corrosion resistance in chemical, marine, and outdoor environments. The tempered glass lens is impact rated to IK10. Overall dimensions are 13.7 x 11.2 inches, with a weight of 20 lbs. No cord is supplied; field wiring is required.
Ingress protection is IP66 for dust and water, and the fixture is certified for marine outside type use (UL1598A). All hardware and seals are designed for hazardous location compliance and long-term durability.
Where This Product Fits Best
This fixture is intended for classified hazardous locations where explosion proof construction is required. It is commonly installed in:
- hazardous location lighting
- explosion proof lighting
- paint booth lighting
- chemical processing facility lighting
- oil and gas facility lighting
- refinery lighting
- marine environment lighting
- offshore rig lighting
Environmental characteristics include resistance to flammable gases, vapors, dusts, water ingress, and mechanical impact. The fixture is suitable for both indoor and outdoor hazardous areas, including marine and offshore environments.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Mounting options include yoke and 3/4 inch NPT pendant, supporting ceiling, wall, or surface installation. The fixture is designed for direct wiring in hazardous locations, with all connections made in accordance with code requirements for classified areas. No cord is supplied; installer must provide appropriate wiring and sealing fittings.
Routine maintenance is limited to periodic inspection and cleaning. The fixture?s long life and sealed construction minimize service intervals. For marine or offshore use, ensure all mounting hardware and conduit seals are compatible with corrosive environments.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Typical mounting heights range from 10 to 20 feet, depending on the area and required light levels. Fixtures are spaced to achieve uniform coverage, with closer spacing in process areas or where obstructions are present. Layouts often follow grid or perimeter patterns in hazardous zones.
Higher output allows for reduced fixture count in open areas, but may require shielding or careful aiming to control glare in confined spaces. Dimming can be used to adjust output for specific tasks or during periods of reduced occupancy.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This fixture is certified to UL 844 for hazardous locations, including Class I Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III. Additional certifications include UL 1598, UL1598A Marine Outside Type, CSA, ATEX, and IECEx. IP66 and IK10 ratings are standard. 10kV surge protection is included.
