Explosion Proof Photocell | 1/2 in or 3/4 in NPT | Attaches to Fixture Knockout | Class 1 Div 2

SKU: MLLG-E-PC-C1D2-KO Web ID: 2054
Starting at: $468.30
Built to Order 6 Weeks
This on/off explosion-proof photocell is a practical control option for hazardous-location lighting and paint booth installations requiring 100-277V operation. Its UL 844 classifications support Class I Division 2, Class II Divisions 1 and 2, and Class III applications, while IP65, wet-location suitability, and a -22F to 122F operating range suit demanding indoor or outdoor conditions. Fixture-knockout mounting simplifies installation, and the 5-year warranty supports long-term planning.

Product Lighting Layout Estimator

Use this estimator to calculate approximate fixture count, spacing, and average foot-candles for a simple rectangular space using the selected LED fixture. Enter your room dimensions, mounting height, target foot-candles, light loss factor, and room/layout condition to generate a preliminary lighting layout. When IES photometry is available, workplane height and room reflectance controls are shown.

Estimated average foot-candles are preliminary and should be verified with a lighting plan for project-critical applications.

Room / Layout Condition: This field is used only when usable IES photometry is not available. In fallback mode, it acts as a simplified room utilization factor for reflectance, fixture distribution, racking, obstructions, and how much fixture light reaches the work area. Open / light-colored spaces use 0.90, typical warehouses or shops use 0.75, racked or obstructed spaces use 0.60, and dark or complex spaces use 0.45. When IES photometry is active, this field is hidden and the estimator uses the selected workplane height, LLF, and simplified reflectance adjustment instead.

Photometry / Simulation Note: When usable IES photometry is available for the selected fixture, this estimator uses the fixture’s IES candela data, selected workplane height, light loss factor, and simplified reflectance adjustment to estimate fixture count, average foot-candles, and visual light distribution. The reflectance adjustment is a conservative approximation and is not a full zonal-cavity, radiosity, or professional photometric room calculation. When IES photometry is not available, the estimator uses a simulated beam model based on lumens, mounting height, room/layout condition, light loss factor, and beam angle.

Preliminary Estimate Only: This estimator is intended for simple square or rectangular spaces and should be used as a planning aid, not a final photometric lighting plan. Actual light levels may vary based on fixture optics, selected IES file, mounting conditions, workplane height, ceiling height, surface reflectance, obstructions, controls, voltage, installation conditions, and site-specific requirements. Project-critical applications should be verified with a formal lighting plan.

This estimate is a starting point. Warehouses, industrial facilities, hazardous locations, sports areas, schools, healthcare spaces, public areas, and code-sensitive projects may require a reviewed lighting layout before purchase or installation.
