Quick Summary

The VMVL-3-2C-G-UNV1-S896 LED Hazardous Light is designed for reliable ceiling-mounted illumination in harsh industrial environments. Engineers often struggle with fixtures that tolerate moisture, dust, and chemical exposure while meeting stringent safety codes. This luminaire delivers NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX compliance, Zone 21 rating, IP66 and NEMA 4X protection to satisfy hazardous-location requirements. With 3000 lumens at 28 watts and a dimmable driver, it provides measurable efficiency gains and predictable operating costs. For hazardous area lighting, the combination of TEFLON-coated lens, die-cast aluminum housing, and a flexible input range (100-277 VAC, 127-250 VDC) supports versatile installations and faster ROI in industrial facilities.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The VMVL LED light delivers 3000 lumens at 28 watts with a high efficacy of 123 lm/W, reducing energy consumption while delivering strong visibility in critical zones. This translates to lower utility costs and longer intervals between maintenance visits in process areas and assembly lines. Application: hazardous area lighting for plant floors, docks, and corridors. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP66 and NEMA 4X protection, along with NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX certification and Zone 21 rating, significantly lowers risk of moisture ingress and corrosion, reducing downtime and replacement costs in chemical plants, offshore facilities, and mining sites. Application: corrosive or wet environments with stringent codes. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Type V optical distribution ensures even illumination across large workspaces, improving operator safety and reducing glare. Application: wide-area illumination in bays and warehouses. Feature → Business Impact → Application: dimmable driver enables adaptive lighting, lowering energy use during low-occupancy periods and enabling task-lighting scenarios. Application: process zones requiring flexible lighting levels. Feature → Business Impact → Application: TEFLON-coated lens and die-cast aluminum housing deliver durability and chemical resistance, lowering lifecycle costs and protecting against harsh surroundings. Application: outdoor entrances or damp indoor spaces adjacent to washdown areas. Feature → Business Impact → Application: universal input range 100-277 VAC / 127-250 VDC supports retrofits and multi-site deployments without rewiring. Application: facilities migrating from legacy HID or mixed-volt systems.
