80 Watt 4 Foot Explosion Proof Linear LED Light | 12800 Lumens | Class 1 Div 2 | 5000K | 100-277V

Product Overview

This 80 Watt 4 Foot Explosion Proof Linear LED Light is designed for hazardous location lighting where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts are present. The fixture delivers 12,800 lumens at 5000K, providing clear, high-visibility illumination in classified environments. Typical installations include oil and gas facilities, chemical processing plants, and solvent storage areas where Class I Division 2, Class II Division 2, and Class III ratings are required.

The linear form factor and 4-foot length allow for even coverage in aisleways, process areas, and equipment rooms. This fixture is a direct replacement for 250W metal halide units, supporting mounting heights from 10 to 20 feet in most hazardous location applications.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 12,800 lumens at 80 watts, achieving 160 lumens per watt. The 120° beam angle and frosted polycarbonate lens provide wide, diffused coverage suitable for general area and task lighting in hazardous environments. Color temperature is 5000K with a CRI above 70, supporting accurate visual inspection and operational safety.

Electrical performance includes a power factor above 0.90 and THD below 10%. The fixture operates on 100-277V at 50/60Hz. Excessive output may occur if installed below 10 feet, and uniformity may decrease at mounting heights above 20 feet without proper spacing or layout adjustments.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture supports 1-10V dimming for output adjustment and integration with lighting control systems. Dimming allows for energy management and adaptation to changing operational requirements. No onboard occupancy or daylight sensors are included; external controls must be specified if required.

Mounting options include surface, trunnion, or 3/4 inch NPT pendant, allowing for flexible installation on ceilings, walls, or structural supports. The fixture is not field-adjustable for beam angle or distribution.

Longevity and Reliability

L70 rated life is 150,000 hours, supporting long-term operation in demanding environments. The fixture includes 10kV surge protection to guard against electrical transients common in industrial settings. Operating temperature range is -31°F to 131°F, suitable for both indoor and outdoor hazardous locations.

Maintenance requirements are minimal due to solid-state LED design and sealed construction. No relamping or frequent servicing is needed under normal conditions.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from fiberglass reinforced polycarbonate, providing impact resistance (IK08) and corrosion resistance for harsh industrial and marine environments. The fixture is IP66 rated for dust and water ingress, supporting washdown and outdoor use.

Dimensions are 48.5 x 4.7 x 4.8 inches, with a weight of 11.2 lbs. The fixture is finished in gray and does not include a cord. All hardware is designed for compatibility with hazardous location installation standards.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for classified hazardous locations where explosion proof or vapor tight lighting is required. It is commonly installed in environments with flammable gases, vapors, or dusts, and where compliance with UL 844, ATEX, and IECEx is mandatory.

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

Environmental characteristics include resistance to water, dust, impact, and corrosive agents. The fixture is suitable for both indoor and outdoor hazardous areas, including marine and offshore locations.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Mounting options support surface, trunnion, or pendant installation using 3/4 inch NPT. The fixture is compatible with standard hazardous location wiring methods and conduit systems. No cord is supplied; field wiring is required.

Routine maintenance is limited to periodic inspection for lens cleanliness and hardware integrity. The sealed design prevents ingress of dust and moisture, reducing the risk of internal contamination or corrosion. Installation should follow all applicable hazardous location codes and standards.

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 often spaced 8 to 16 feet apart for general area lighting, with closer spacing in task or inspection zones. Linear form factor supports continuous row or parallel mounting along process lines or walkways.

Higher output reduces the number of fixtures needed for coverage but may increase glare if installed at low heights or in confined spaces. Layout should be coordinated with process equipment and access requirements.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is certified to UL 844 Hazardous Locations, UL 1598 Wet Locations, UL1598A Marine Outside Type, CSA, ATEX, and IECEx. It is rated for Class I Division 2 Groups B, C, D; Class II Division 2 Groups F, G; and Class III environments. IP66 and IK08 ratings apply.

Warranty is 5 years from date of installation. All certifications and ratings are maintained when installed according to manufacturer instructions and applicable codes.
