Eaton Crouse-Hinds VMVL-3-J-UNV1-TB6 LED light fixture - Hazardous/Classified Locations

Powerful efficiency: The VMVL LED luminaire delivers 3000 lumens at 28W with 123 lm/W, enabling a direct, cost-effective replacement for 70W HID sources. This translates to meaningful energy savings and lower heat load in hazardous environments where cooling costs matter. The improved efficacy supports longer maintenance intervals and reduced total cost of ownership in processing plants and refineries. Voltage flexibility and dimming: With a wide input range of 100–277 Vac and 127–250 Vdc, plus a dimmable driver and 50/60 Hz operation, the fixture adapts to diverse facility electrical architectures. This minimizes inventory and simplifies commissioning across multi-branch sites while preserving consistent light levels for critical tasks in hazardous zones. Rugged protection and compliance: Rated IP66 and NEMA 4X, the VMVL resists dust, water ingress, and corrosive atmospheres, making it suitable for outdoor exposures, washdown areas, and offshore platforms. Coupled with NEC/CEC, IECEx/ATEX Zone 21 certifications, it supports global compliance programs and reduces risk of nonconformance in regulated industries. Build and optical design: Die-cast aluminum housing with a glass lens delivers robust heat management and durable optics. Type V distribution ensures broad, uniform illumination for large areas, while the 1-1/2" trade size and stanchion 25° angled mounting streamline installation and alignment on elevated fixtures. The six-pole terminal block simplifies wiring in hazardous environments and supports a reliable electrical connection. Installation efficiency and lifecycle impact: The combination of a dimmable driver, high lumen-per-watt, and long LED life reduces maintenance cycles and downtime. Industry-standard mounting and wiring interfaces help installers achieve faster turnarounds, ensuring consistent performance in chemical plants, pipelines, and mining operations. Industry context and ROI: By upgrading from HID to the VMVL LED luminaire, facilities gain improved spectral quality, fewer lamp replacements, and stronger regulatory alignment, delivering faster payback and lower total cost of ownership for hazardous-location lighting projects.
