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.
Project Inputs
Estimated Results
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.
Product Overview
This explosion proof slipfitter adapter provides a 2 3/8 inch tenon connection for mounting compatible explosion proof fixtures on round poles. It is intended for use with Class I Division 2 and Class II Division 2 rated products.
The adapter supports EXPLA, EXPLB, EXPLSTA1, and EXPLSTA2 explosion proof fixture families. It provides a pole-mounted fixture connection where hazardous location lighting requires a round-pole installation.
Core Performance and Output
This is a mechanical mounting adapter and does not produce light output or consume electrical power. Fixture output, beam distribution, voltage, and electrical performance are determined by the compatible explosion proof fixture.
The 2 3/8 inch tenon is the critical fit dimension for the fixture connection. The round pole and fixture mounting interface must be confirmed before installation.
Adjustability and Control Options
No fixture aiming, dimming, sensor, or control functions are provided by this adapter. Any control capability remains with the connected explosion proof fixture and its associated equipment.
The supplied product information identifies the adapter as a fixed slipfitter connection for round poles. No adjustable mounting positions are stated.
Longevity and Reliability
Long-term performance depends on correct fit between the 2 3/8 inch tenon, the compatible fixture, and the round pole. The mounting connection should remain accessible for periodic inspection.
Inspect the adapter and fixture connection during routine lighting maintenance. The supplied information does not state environmental ratings, corrosion resistance, or service life.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
This adapter is configured with a 2 3/8 inch tenon for compatible explosion proof fixtures. It secures to round poles.
Compatible fixture families include EXPLA, EXPLB, EXPLSTA1, and EXPLSTA2 explosion proof fixtures. Fixture dimensions, weight limits, and pole structural requirements are not stated in the supplied product information.
Where This Product Fits Best
This adapter fits pole-mounted hazardous location lighting installations using compatible explosion proof fixtures. It is intended for applications where Class I Division 2 or Class II Division 2 rated products are required.
- hazardous location lighting
- explosion proof lighting
- oil and gas facility lighting
- chemical processing facility lighting
Application fit depends on the rating of the connected fixture and the conditions at the installation location. The adapter itself is identified for use with Class I Division 2 and Class II Division 2 rated products.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Install the adapter on a round pole and confirm the fixture uses the stated 2 3/8 inch tenon connection. Verify compatibility with EXPLA, EXPLB, EXPLSTA1, or EXPLSTA2 fixtures before mounting.
Mounting height, pole capacity, fixture weight, and wiring requirements are not established by the supplied product information. These factors must be determined for the specific installation.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
This adapter is used to mount compatible explosion proof fixtures on round poles for hazardous location lighting, explosion proof lighting, oil and gas facility lighting, and chemical processing facility lighting. Mounting height is determined by the pole, fixture, and project lighting layout.
The adapter does not establish fixture spacing or coverage. Layout requirements vary with the connected fixture output, optics, mounting height, and required light levels.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This adapter is for use with Class I Division 2 and Class II Division 2 rated products. No separate adapter certification is stated in the supplied product information.
Warranty information is not stated in the supplied product information. Follow the compatible fixture installation requirements and applicable site procedures.
