High lumen output and efficiency translate to fewer fixtures and lower installation costs while maintaining broad coverage in large industrial spaces. The VMVL-21-R5M-UNV1-S903-M2 delivers 21,000 lumens with a claimed efficiency of up to 131 lm/W, enabling bright, uniform lighting for hazardous-area applications. The dimmable driver supports fine-tuned illumination and energy savings, improving process visibility without sacrificing reliability in critical operations. Its wide voltage range of 120-277 Vac and 108-250 Vdc provides compatibility with mixed power architectures, simplifying procurement and wiring in facilities upgrading to LED. A robust die-cast aluminum housing with IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings withstands washdowns, chemical exposure, and harsh environments common in oil, gas, and chemical processing. The polycarbonate lens and medium optical distribution balance glare control with effective area lighting, reducing maintenance cycles and extending service life. Mounting without a dedicated mounting module speeds installs and reduces part count, while the unit’s 22.3 lb weight signals a solid, vibration-tolerant build. This combination supports hazardous-location lighting strategies that prioritize uptime, safety, and total cost of ownership in sectors like mining, refining, and petrochemicals. compatibility with existing cabling and fixtures, along with comprehensive certification coverage, helps procurement align with strict compliance requirements and industry standards.
