LED performance in the VMVL fixture delivers consistent light quality for hazardous-area environments. At 28W it provides 3,000 lumens with 123 lumens per watt, matching a 70W HID equivalent while using substantially less energy. The cool-white output and glass lens optimize visibility for critical operations, supporting faster inspections and safer maintenance in chemical, petrochemical, and refinery settings. Certification and compliance drive confidence in dangerous environments. The luminaire supports NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX frameworks with Zone 21 rating, plus hazardous-area classifications such as Class I Division 2 and Class II Division 1. IP66 ingress protection and a NEMA 4X enclosure further guard against dust, moisture, and corrosive vapors in hostile plants. Electrical flexibility reduces retrofit risk. With a universal 100-277 Vac input and 127-250 Vdc range, the driver remains stable across site fluctuations. A dimmable driver enables staged lighting control, while a power factor above 0.90 minimizes harmonic losses and improves overall electrical efficiency in large facilities. Rugged mechanical design simplifies deployment. Die-cast aluminum housing, heat-resistant glass lens, and no guard mounting approach withstand vibration, temperature extremes, and chemical exposure. The Type I optical distribution with a 'No mounting module' configuration makes retrofit easier in constrained fixtures footprints, while the 13 x 13 inch footprint aligns with standard mounting patterns. Lifecycle and maintenance advantages translate to lower total cost of ownership. The LED module promises long life with minimal replacement, reducing downtime in critical operations. The fixture ships with multiple downloadable resources and spare parts references, supporting proactive maintenance programs and quick field servicing, while ensuring regulatory compliance and consistent output over the product life.
