75 Watt Round Explosion Proof LED Light | 10500 Lumens | Class 1 Div 2 | 5000K | 100-277V

Product Overview

This 75 Watt Round Explosion Proof LED Light is designed for hazardous location lighting where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts are present. The fixture delivers 10,500 lumens at 5000K, providing a high-output, energy-efficient solution for environments requiring Class I Division 2 protection. Typical installations include oil and gas facilities, chemical processing plants, and solvent storage areas where safety and compliance are critical.

The fixture is suitable for mounting heights commonly found in process areas, pump rooms, and industrial spaces where legacy 400W metal halide fixtures are being replaced. The round form factor and yoke or pendant mounting options allow for flexible installation in both new construction and retrofit scenarios.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 10,500 lumens at 75 watts, achieving 140 lumens per watt. The 120° beam angle provides wide area coverage, supporting uniform illumination in open hazardous locations. The 5000K color temperature delivers clear, neutral white light suitable for task visibility and safety-critical operations.

Electrical performance includes a power factor above 0.90 and THD below 10%, supporting stable operation on 100-277V circuits. 1-10V dimming is standard for integration with compatible controls. At mounting heights below 10 feet, output may be excessive for confined spaces. Uniformity can decrease if spacing exceeds typical hazardous area layout recommendations.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture supports 1-10V dimming for output adjustment when paired with appropriate dimming controls. This allows for tuning light levels to match process requirements or energy management protocols. The yoke mount enables aiming and tilt adjustment, while the 3/4 inch NPT pendant mount provides fixed vertical orientation.

Optical distribution is fixed at 120°, with a tempered glass lens for durability and consistent beam spread. No field-interchangeable optics are available for this model. Dimming performance is stable across the full voltage range.

Longevity and Reliability

L70 rated life is 150,000 hours, supporting long-term operation in continuous-use hazardous environments. The fixture is designed for minimal maintenance, with no lamps or ballasts to replace. Powder coated aluminum housing and tempered glass lens resist corrosion and impact.

10kV surge protection is integrated to guard against electrical transients common in industrial power systems. The fixture maintains performance in both indoor and outdoor hazardous locations, including marine and wet environments.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is powder coated aluminum, providing corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. The fixture is rated IP66 for dust and water ingress, and IK08 for impact resistance. Dimensions are 11.8 inches wide by 13.7 inches high, with a weight of 13 lbs. No cord is supplied; field wiring is required.

Mounting options include yoke and 3/4 inch NPT pendant, with optional surface or wall mounting available. The fixture color is gray, and all hardware is designed for use in hazardous and marine environments.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation is typically performed using the yoke or 3/4 inch NPT pendant mount, depending on site requirements. The fixture supports both ceiling and wall mounting, with field wiring through conduit. No cord is provided, and all connections must comply with hazardous location codes.

Routine maintenance is limited to periodic inspection for lens cleanliness and housing integrity. The fixture is designed for long service intervals, with no lamp or ballast changes required. All hardware and seals are rated for hazardous and marine environments, supporting reliable operation in demanding conditions.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Common mounting heights range from 10 to 20 feet, depending on area size and required light levels. Fixtures are typically spaced to achieve uniform coverage in process areas, pump rooms, or storage zones. Layouts often follow grid or perimeter patterns to minimize shadowing and maintain code compliance.

Higher output allows for reduced fixture count in large open areas, but may require careful aiming or dimming to control glare in confined spaces. Spacing and layout should be coordinated with hazardous area classification and site-specific lighting requirements.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is certified to UL844 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 for wet locations, UL1598A Marine Outside Type, CSA, ATEX, and IECEx. The fixture is rated IP66 and IK08, and includes 10kV surge protection.
