2 Head 8 Watt Explosion Proof LED Emergency Light and Exit Sign | 1040 Lumens | Class 1 Div 1 | 5000K | 100-277V

Product Overview

This 2 Head 8 Watt Explosion Proof LED Emergency Light and Exit Sign is designed for hazardous location emergency egress and exit marking in environments where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts are present. The fixture integrates two adjustable LED heads and an illuminated exit sign, providing both emergency illumination and clear exit identification. Typical installations include Class I Division 1 and Division 2 areas, chemical processing facilities, and marine environments requiring robust, code-compliant emergency lighting.

The unit operates at 8 watts, delivering 1040 lumens at 5000K, and is built for wall mounting. It is suitable for use in locations where UL 844, UL 924, and UL 1598A compliance is required, including marine outside type and wet locations. The fixture is constructed with a die-cast aluminum housing and is rated for use in areas with high risk of explosion or fire due to hazardous materials.

Core Performance and Output

This emergency light and exit sign delivers 1040 lumens from two LED heads, providing targeted illumination for egress paths during power loss. The fixture operates at 8 watts with a luminous efficacy of 130 lumens per watt. The 5000K color temperature supports high-contrast visibility in emergency conditions. The beam pattern is designed for wide coverage of exit routes and immediate surrounding areas.

Electrical performance includes a power factor greater than 0.95 and total harmonic distortion below 10%. The fixture is non-dimmable and operates on 100-277V input at 50-60Hz. At mounting heights above 10 feet, emergency light coverage may require additional units to maintain code-required illumination levels. Excessive output is not a concern at typical mounting heights for emergency egress applications.

Adjustability and Control Options

Each LED head is independently adjustable, allowing precise aiming to cover egress paths, doorways, or critical exit points. The exit sign is integrated and illuminated for clear visibility under emergency conditions. There are no dimming or advanced control options; the fixture is designed for automatic operation during power loss as required by code.

Manual aiming of the heads is performed during installation. No remote control or network integration is provided. The fixture is intended for straightforward, code-driven emergency operation without user intervention.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 50,000 hours (L70) of LED life, supporting long-term reliability in demanding hazardous environments. The die-cast aluminum housing, IP66 ingress protection, and IK10 impact resistance ensure durability against dust, water, and physical impact. Surge protection is rated at 10 kV, providing resilience against electrical disturbances common in industrial settings.

Operating temperature range is -4°F to 140°F, supporting use in both indoor and outdoor hazardous locations. The fixture is designed for minimal maintenance, with no lamp or ballast replacements required during its service life. Battery backup and self-diagnostic features are not included in this model.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from die-cast aluminum, providing corrosion resistance and mechanical strength in hazardous and marine environments. The fixture measures 18.3 x 26.5 x 6.5 inches and weighs 55 lbs, reflecting the robust build required for Class I Division 1 and marine applications. All external hardware is designed to withstand exposure to chemicals, salt spray, and physical abuse.

Ingress protection is IP66, and impact resistance is IK10. The fixture is suitable for wall mounting only. All wiring and conduit entries are sealed to maintain hazardous location integrity. The unit is finished for long-term resistance to corrosion and UV exposure.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for hazardous locations where emergency egress lighting and exit marking are required by code. It is suitable for use in environments with flammable gases, vapors, dusts, or fibers, as well as marine and offshore facilities exposed to harsh weather and corrosive conditions.

• 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 designed for environments requiring UL 844, UL 924, and UL 1598A compliance. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor hazardous locations, including marine and wet environments. The unit is not intended for general-purpose emergency lighting outside of classified hazardous or marine areas.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Wall mounting is required. The fixture?s weight and size demand secure attachment to a structurally sound surface, with all conduit and wiring connections sealed per hazardous location requirements. Installation should follow all applicable codes for Class I, II, and III environments, including proper use of explosion proof fittings and conduit seals.

Routine inspection is recommended to verify lens integrity, housing seals, and LED head alignment. No relamping or ballast maintenance is required. The fixture is designed for minimal service intervention over its operational life. Battery backup is not included; if required, a separate code-compliant solution should be specified.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

This fixture is typically installed above exit doors, along egress routes, or at key points in hazardous and marine environments where emergency lighting and exit identification are required. Mounting heights are generally between 7 and 10 feet to ensure effective coverage and compliance with emergency lighting codes.

Spacing between units is determined by the required illumination levels and the geometry of the egress path. In larger or more complex spaces, additional fixtures may be needed to maintain uniform coverage. Higher mounting heights may reduce the effective coverage area, requiring closer spacing or additional units.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is certified to UL 844 Hazardous Locations, UL 924 Emergency Lighting, UL 1598A Marine Outside Type, UL 1598 Wet Locations, and UL 8750 LED Safety. It meets Class I, Division 1 and 2; Class II, Division 1 and 2; and Class III hazardous location requirements. The fixture is IP66 and IK10 rated for ingress and impact protection.

A 5-year warranty is provided. All certifications and ratings are listed for reference and code compliance. The fixture is ETL listed.
