FAQs

This luminaire is designed for Hazardous/Classified Locations with Zone 21 and Class I divisions. Installation should follow IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC guidelines, use the 1-1/2 inch trade size mounting, and ensure proper sealing with the diffused glass lens and die-cast aluminum housing. Verify supply voltage compatibility (100-277 Vac, 127-250 Vdc) and configure the dimmable driver to the required light level while maintaining IP66 protection.
Key specs include 3,000 lumens with 123 lm/W efficiency, PF > 0.90, 28 W consumption, and a cool white color temperature. The Type V optical distribution provides uniform coverage, while the IP66/NEMA 4X ratings ensure protection against dust, water, and corrosion. The dimmable driver allows site-wide energy optimization without sacrificing safety.
Yes. Its universal voltage range supports installations from 100-277 Vac and 127-250 Vdc, reducing SKU variety across sites. The robust die-cast aluminum housing and 1-1/2" trade size mounting simplify retrofits and new installs alike, while the Zone 21/Division 2 compliance streamlines regulatory approvals in petrochemical, manufacturing, and power-generation environments.
The VMVL-3-J-UNV1-S891 carries NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX standards, Zone 21 hazardous-location rating, Class I Division 2, Class II Division 1, and Class III compatibility, coupled with NEMA 4X and IP66 protection to resist harsh conditions. These certifications support safe operation in hazardous environments and simplify compliance documentation.
The 3000-lumen LED with a pure-dimmable driver reduces energy use versus legacy HID systems, while the long-life LED minimizes maintenance intervals and lamp replacements. The rugged construction also lowers replacement costs in demanding settings, and universal voltage reduces inventory footprint, contributing to faster project deployment and lower total cost of ownership.
