100 Watt Square Explosion Proof LED Light | 13000 Lumens | Class 1 Div 2 | 5000K | 100-277V

Product Overview

This 100 Watt Square Explosion Proof LED Light is designed for hazardous location lighting where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts may be present. It delivers 13,000 lumens at 5000K, providing a crisp, daylight-white output suitable for environments requiring both safety and visibility. Typical installations include paint booths, chemical processing areas, and Class I, II, and III Division 2 locations where compliance with strict safety codes is mandatory.

The fixture is built for use in environments where traditional metal halide or HID fixtures are being replaced, especially where mounting heights range from 12 to 20 feet. The square form factor and robust housing allow for both yoke and pendant mounting, supporting a range of installation scenarios in hazardous and corrosive environments.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 13,000 lumens at 100 watts, achieving an efficacy of 130 lumens per watt. The 120° beam angle provides wide, even coverage, minimizing shadowing in open hazardous areas. The 5000K color temperature supports high-contrast visibility for inspection and operational tasks.

Electrical performance includes a power factor above 0.98 and total harmonic distortion below 10%, supporting stable operation on 100-277V circuits. At mounting heights below 10 feet, output may be excessive for confined spaces. Uniformity may decrease at mounting heights above 20 feet without supplemental fixtures.

Adjustability and Control Options

This fixture is supplied with both yoke and 3/4 inch NPT pendant mounting options, allowing for ceiling, wall, or pendant installations. The square housing and mounting system support precise aiming during installation, but the fixture does not include integrated dimming or advanced control features.

Beam distribution is fixed at 120°, with no field-adjustable optics. Control integration is limited to circuit-level switching; no onboard occupancy or daylight sensors are included.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 50,000 hours (L70), supporting long-term operation in demanding hazardous environments. The copper-free aluminum housing and tempered glass lens provide resistance to corrosion and impact, reducing maintenance intervals.

Surge protection is rated at 10kV, supporting reliability in facilities with frequent power fluctuations. The fixture is designed for continuous operation in ambient temperatures from -22°F to 122°F.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The housing is constructed from copper-free aluminum, minimizing corrosion in chemical and marine environments. The tempered glass lens is rated IK09 for impact resistance. The fixture is fully sealed to IP68, supporting use in wet locations and areas exposed to salt water or washdown.

Dimensions are 12 x 12 x 6.6 inches, with a weight of 17 lbs. The fixture is suitable for mounting to rigid structures and can be installed in both indoor and outdoor hazardous locations.

Where This Product Fits Best

This explosion proof LED fixture is intended for hazardous and classified environments where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts are present. It is commonly installed in locations requiring compliance with UL 844, Class I/II/III, and IP68 standards. The fixture is suitable for both new construction and retrofit projects where legacy HID fixtures are being replaced.

Environmental characteristics include resistance to water, salt, dust, and impact. The fixture is suitable for both indoor and outdoor hazardous locations, including marine and chemical processing environments.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation supports both yoke and pendant mounting, allowing for attachment to ceilings, walls, or rigid conduit. The fixture?s weight and size require secure mounting to structural elements. All wiring and connections must comply with hazardous location codes and practices.

Routine maintenance is minimized due to the sealed housing and long LED lifespan. Periodic inspection of mounting hardware and electrical connections is recommended, especially in high-vibration or corrosive environments. The fixture is not field-serviceable beyond standard cleaning and inspection.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 12 to 20 feet, depending on the required light levels and area size. Fixtures are often spaced to provide overlapping coverage, with layout patterns determined by the classification and geometry of the hazardous area.

In paint booths and chemical processing areas, fixtures are installed to avoid direct exposure to spray or process streams. Higher output can reduce fixture count but may increase glare in confined spaces. Layouts should be coordinated with safety and code requirements for hazardous locations.

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. It is also UL 1598, UL 1598A, IP68, and IK09 rated, with a T4A temperature rating.

The fixture includes a 5-year warranty. All certifications and ratings are maintained when installed according to manufacturer instructions and applicable codes.
