80 Watt Explosion Proof Linear LED Light | 11200 Lumens | Class 1 Div 1 | 5000K | 100-277V or 277-480V

Product Overview

This 80 Watt Explosion Proof Linear LED Light is designed for hazardous location lighting where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts are present. The fixture delivers 11,200 lumens at 5000K, providing a clear, daylight-white output suitable for critical visibility in classified environments. Typical installations include paint booths, chemical processing areas, and facilities requiring Class I, II, or III Division 1 and 2 compliance.

The linear form factor supports mounting in areas with limited ceiling space or where uniform coverage along aisles or work zones is required. This fixture is a direct replacement for 250W metal halide units, supporting both new construction and retrofit projects in hazardous and corrosive environments.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 11,200 lumens at 80 watts, achieving 140 lumens per watt. The 120° beam angle provides wide, even coverage for task and general area lighting. Color temperature is 5000K with a CRI above 70, supporting accurate color rendering in inspection and process areas.

Electrical performance includes a power factor above 0.95 and THD below 10%. The fixture is available in 100-277V or 277-480V models. Excessive output may occur at mounting heights below 10 feet, and uniformity may decrease if spacing exceeds recommended guidelines for hazardous locations.

Adjustability and Control Options

Standard dimming is 1-10V, allowing for integration with compatible dimming controls or energy management systems. The fixture can be mounted using a yoke bracket or 3/4 inch NPT pendant, supporting both ceiling and wall installations. No field-adjustable optics are included; beam distribution is fixed at 120°.

Control wiring access is provided through the fixture body, with internal wiring rated for hazardous environments. No onboard occupancy or daylight sensors are included.

Longevity and Reliability

L70 rated life is 50,000 hours. The fixture is constructed with a copper-free aluminum housing and a tempered glass lens, supporting long-term operation in corrosive and high-vibration environments. All gasketing and seals are designed for IP66 ingress protection.

Operating temperature range is -22°F to 122°F. The fixture is IK10 impact rated, supporting use in areas with incidental contact or equipment movement. No routine re-lamping is required.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is gray, copper-free aluminum with a tempered glass lens. Dimensions are 47 x 5.5 x 8.1 inches, and the fixture weighs 26 lbs. All external hardware is corrosion resistant. The fixture is NSF rated for use in food and beverage environments where washdown or cleanability is required.

Ingress protection is IP66, and the fixture is rated for marine outside type (UL 1598A). The design supports both pendant and yoke mounting, with all mounting points reinforced for hazardous location use.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for classified hazardous locations where explosion proof lighting is required. It is suitable for environments with flammable gases, vapors, combustible dusts, or fibers, as well as areas exposed to washdown, marine, or corrosive conditions.

• 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

All components are sealed and rated for wet locations, marine environments, and areas requiring NSF compliance. The fixture is suitable for both indoor and outdoor classified spaces.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fixture supports yoke or 3/4 inch NPT pendant mounting. All wiring entries are threaded and sealed for hazardous location compliance. The linear form factor allows for continuous row or single-unit installation along walls, ceilings, or structural supports.

Routine maintenance is limited to periodic inspection of seals and mounting hardware. No lamp or ballast replacement is required. The fixture is compatible with standard hazardous location wiring methods and conduit systems.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 10 to 20 feet, depending on the required light levels and area classification. Fixtures are often spaced to provide overlapping coverage in process areas, paint booths, or along walkways in classified zones.

Linear fixtures are commonly installed in rows or grids to maintain uniform illumination and meet code requirements for hazardous locations. Higher output can reduce fixture count but may increase glare if not properly shielded or spaced.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is certified to UL 844 for hazardous locations, including Class I Division 1 Groups C, D; 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, UL 1598A Marine Outside Type, ABS, IP66, IK10, and NSF.

Warranty is 5 years. All certifications are listed for reference and compliance documentation.
