80 Watt Explosion Proof 2x2 Low Profile Linear LED Light | 11200 Lumens | Class 1 Div 2 | 5000K | 100-277V

Product Overview

This 80 Watt Explosion Proof 2x2 Low Profile 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 high-output solution for environments requiring Class I, Division 2 protection. Typical installations include paint booths, chemical processing areas, and solvent storage zones where safety and compliance are critical.

The low-profile linear form factor allows for mounting in areas with limited ceiling space or where a compact footprint is required. This fixture is commonly used as a direct replacement for 250W metal halide units, supporting mounting heights in the 10 to 20 foot range depending on the application and required light levels.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 11,200 lumens at 80 watts, achieving an efficacy of 140 lumens per watt. The 120° beam angle provides broad, uniform coverage suitable for open hazardous areas and task zones. The 5000K color temperature delivers clear, neutral white light for visual clarity in industrial settings.

Electrical performance includes a power factor above 0.95 and total harmonic distortion below 10%, supporting stable operation on 100-277V circuits. At lower mounting heights, output may be excessive for small rooms or confined booths; glare control should be considered in these scenarios. Uniformity may decrease if spacing exceeds recommended guidelines for hazardous location layouts.

Adjustability and Control Options

The fixture supports 1-10V dimming for integration with compatible dimming controls or energy management systems. This allows for light level adjustment based on occupancy, process requirements, or energy-saving protocols. Dimming is smooth and flicker-free within the rated range.

No onboard motion or daylight sensors are included. Control integration is achieved through external dimming systems or building automation platforms. The fixture is not field-adjustable for beam angle or color temperature.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 50,000 hours (L70), supporting long-term operation in demanding hazardous environments. The LED driver and light engine are thermally managed for consistent output and minimal lumen depreciation over time.

Ingress protection is rated at IP66, ensuring resistance to dust and high-pressure water. The fixture maintains performance in ambient temperatures from -22°F to 122°F. IK09 impact rating supports use in areas with incidental contact or vibration.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed for hazardous location use, with a polycarbonate lens and robust gasketing to prevent ingress of contaminants. The fixture dimensions are 25.2 inches long by 23.8 inches wide by 3.7 inches high, with a weight of 46.3 lbs. Mounting options include chain-cable, recessed, or surface installation to accommodate different ceiling types and structural conditions.

All hardware and seals are designed for chemical resistance and durability in corrosive or solvent-rich environments. The low-profile design minimizes obstruction and allows installation in tight spaces or above process equipment.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for hazardous locations where explosion proof lighting is required by code or safety standards. It is suitable for environments with flammable gases, vapors, or dusts, and where routine washdown or chemical exposure occurs. The fixture is commonly installed in:

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

Environmental characteristics include high ingress protection (IP66), impact resistance (IK09), and suitability for wet, corrosive, or dust-laden atmospheres. The fixture is NSF rated for use in areas requiring food safety compliance.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Mounting options include chain-cable suspension, recessed, or surface mounting. The fixture?s weight and size require secure attachment to structural supports rated for hazardous locations. All wiring and conduit entries must comply with hazardous area electrical codes.

Routine maintenance is minimized due to the sealed design and long LED lifespan. Cleaning can be performed with standard industrial methods, as the fixture is rated for washdown and chemical exposure. Periodic inspection of seals and mounting hardware is recommended in high-vibration or corrosive environments.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 10 to 20 feet, depending on the required light levels and area size. Fixtures are spaced to achieve uniform coverage, with layout patterns determined by the specific hazardous area classification and process requirements. Linear form factor supports installation in rows or grids above work zones, mixing areas, or storage aisles.

Spacing and fixture count vary based on target illuminance and hazard classification. Higher output can reduce the number of fixtures needed, but may increase glare if not properly shielded or spaced. Consult hazardous location lighting guidelines for optimal layout.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is certified to UL 844 for hazardous locations and meets Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D; Class II, Division 1, Groups F, G; and Class III requirements. Additional ratings include IP66, IK09, and NSF. The fixture is covered by a 5-year warranty.

All components and construction meet requirements for use in classified hazardous areas, including paint booths, chemical processing, and solvent storage. The fixture is suitable for installation in environments requiring both explosion proof and food safety compliance.
