80 Watt Explosion Proof Linear LED Light | 11,200 Lumens | Class 1 Div 2 | 5000K | 100-277V

Product Overview

The 80 Watt Explosion Proof Linear LED Light is designed for hazardous location lighting where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts are present. This fixture delivers 11,200 lumens at 5000K and operates on 100-277V. It is suitable for Class I Division 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III environments. Typical installations include chemical processing facilities, paint booths, and solvent storage areas where compliance with strict safety standards is required. The linear form factor and yoke or pendant mounting options support both new construction and retrofit projects in hazardous industrial settings.

This fixture is commonly used as a direct replacement for 250W metal halide units in hazardous locations. The 47-inch housing allows for even coverage in aisle, booth, or process area layouts. The fixture is built to withstand exposure to dust, moisture, and corrosive elements, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor hazardous environments.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 11,200 lumens at 80 watts, providing an efficacy of 140 lumens per watt. The 120° beam angle delivers wide, uniform coverage suitable for open hazardous areas and process zones. The 5000K color temperature supports high-visibility tasks and inspection work. Power factor is greater than 0.95, and total harmonic distortion is less than 10%.

Performance is consistent across the 100-277V input range. At mounting heights below 10 feet, output may be excessive for confined spaces. For mounting heights above 18 feet, uniformity may decrease without supplemental fixtures or careful spacing. The fixture is dimmable via 1-10V controls for output adjustment as needed.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture supports 1-10V dimming, allowing for manual or automated light level control in hazardous environments. This is useful for energy management or adapting to process requirements. The wide beam distribution is fixed, with no field-changeable optics.

Mounting options include yoke and 3/4 inch NPT pendant, supporting both ceiling and wall installations. The fixture can be aimed during installation using the yoke bracket, but beam shape remains constant. No integrated occupancy or daylight sensors are included; external controls must be specified separately if required.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 50,000 hours (L70) and is designed for continuous operation in hazardous and corrosive environments. The copper-free aluminum housing and polycarbonate lens resist corrosion and impact. The IP66 and IK08 ratings confirm suitability for wet locations and areas with mechanical risk.

Operating temperature range is -22°F to 122°F. The fixture maintains performance in both cold and warm hazardous environments. All components are selected for durability and long-term reliability under demanding industrial conditions.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from copper-free aluminum with a gray finish. The fixture measures 47 x 4.7 x 9.5 inches and weighs 15 lbs. The polycarbonate lens provides impact resistance and chemical durability. All external hardware is corrosion-resistant.

The fixture is sealed to IP66 for protection against dust and water ingress. IK08 impact rating supports use in areas with incidental contact or vibration. The design meets UL 844, UL 1598, UL 1598A, ABS, and NSF requirements for hazardous, marine, and food-related environments.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for hazardous locations where explosive gases, vapors, or dusts are present. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use in industrial environments requiring explosion proof, corrosion-resistant lighting. The linear form factor supports installation in process areas, booths, and corridors.

• hazardous location lighting
• explosion proof lighting
• paint booth lighting
• chemical processing facility lighting
• oil and gas facility lighting
• refinery lighting
• marine environment lighting
• solvent storage area lighting

The fixture is designed for environments with flammable gases, combustible dusts, or corrosive atmospheres. It is suitable for wet locations, marine areas, and food-related hazardous spaces where NSF compliance is required.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fixture supports yoke and 3/4 inch NPT pendant mounting for ceiling, wall, or structure attachment. Typical mounting heights range from 10 to 18 feet, depending on area size and required light levels. The 15 lb weight allows for single-person handling, but secure mounting to rated structure is required.

Wiring is completed through sealed conduit entries to maintain hazardous location integrity. Maintenance is limited to periodic cleaning of the lens and inspection of seals. No relamping is required. The fixture is designed for minimal service over its rated life, with all components accessible for inspection if needed.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

This fixture is typically installed in process areas, paint booths, and hazardous corridors at mounting heights between 10 and 18 feet. Spacing is determined by required light levels and area geometry, with linear fixtures often arranged in rows for uniform coverage. In paint booths and chemical storage areas, fixtures are spaced to minimize shadowing and meet code requirements for hazardous locations.

Higher output allows for reduced fixture count in large open areas, but may require careful aiming or dimming to control glare. In marine or refinery environments, fixtures are often grouped to provide redundancy and maintain illumination during maintenance cycles.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is certified to UL 844 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, UL 1598A, ABS, IP66, IK08, and NSF. The fixture is suitable for wet locations and marine outside type environments.

Warranty is 5 years. All certifications are listed for reference and compliance documentation. The fixture is designed and tested for use in hazardous, marine, and food-related environments as specified.
