Quick Summary
The VMVL-3-R1-UNV1-S903 LED light fixture is a rugged, hazardous-area solution designed to deliver reliable illumination in demanding industrial environments. Engineers often struggle with maintaining consistent, code-compliant lighting in zones with dust, moisture, or explosive atmospheres, which can drive maintenance costs and downtime. This fixture carries NEC/CEC, IECEx/ATEX, IP66, and NEMA 4X ratings to ensure safety, washdown readiness, and long service life in challenging locations. With a wide voltage range and a dimmable driver, it simplifies installation across facilities while the durable die-cast aluminum housing reduces lifecycle costs. Secondary benefits include energy efficiency, reduced spare-part inventory, and predictable lighting performance that supports safer, more productive operations.

Lumens and efficiency deliver measurable business impact: 3000 lumens at 28 watts (approx. 123 lm/W) provide bright, uniform coverage for hazardous-area workspaces, reducing the need for supplemental fixtures and lowering energy consumption. This translates to lower operating costs and improved worker productivity in oil, gas, and chemical plants where visibility directly affects safety and quality. The IP66 and NEMA 4X-rated enclosure ensures washdown capability and corrosion resistance, meaning less downtime from corrosion-related failures and easier cleaning in harsh environments. Certifications including NEC/CEC, IECEx/ATEX, and Zone 21/Division 2 classifications give engineers confidence that the luminaire meets global safety standards for hazardous locations, streamlining procurement and compliance. The 100-277 VAC or 127-250 VDC dual-voltage input with a dimmable driver simplifies wiring and control strategies, enabling seamless integration with existing lighting controls and reducing inventory complexity. Type I optical distribution and a polycarbonate lens optimize light delivery for task lighting while minimizing glare, and the die-cast aluminum housing provides robust protection against impact and thermal cycling. Installation flexibility is enhanced by the “No mounting module” option, allowing direct mounting in constrained or custom configurations, which is particularly valuable in retrofit projects or crowded electrical rooms. Industry insight confirms that transitioning from HID equivalents to LED VMVL fixtures yields extended life, reduced maintenance, and improved consistency in hazardous-area illumination, supporting long-term ROI and safer industrial operations.

FAQs
Installation planning should account for the fixture's no mounting module option, allowing direct mounting in constrained spaces. Verify voltage compatibility (100-277 VAC or 127-250 VDC) with existing power distribution, ensure proper enclosure sealing for IP66/NEMA 4X protection, and follow installation sheets IF 1882 for VMVL luminaires. The dimmable driver supports compatible controls, enabling seamless integration with site lighting systems and reducing wiring complexity.
Key performance specs include 3000 lumens at 28 watts (≈123 lm/W), cool white light, voltage range 100-277 VAC or 127-250 VDC, and 50/60 Hz operation. The fixture features a dimmable driver, Type I optical distribution, a polycarbonate lens, and a die-cast aluminum housing with IP66 ingress protection and NEMA 4X rating for harsh environments.
Yes. The VMVL fixture is certified for Hazardous/Classified Locations with NEC/CEC IEC IECEx/ATEX standards and Zone 21 in IECEx/ATEX listings, along with Class I, Division 2 and Zone 2 ratings. This makes it appropriate for chemical plants, refineries, and other hazardous environments that require compliant, durable lighting solutions.
The VMVL-3-R1-UNV1-S903 delivers energy savings (LED efficiency vs HID equivalents), longer service life, and reduced maintenance intervals due to robust sealing and corrosion resistance. Its wide voltage input and dimmable driver simplify control strategies, which lowers installation costs and reduces spare parts inventory, resulting in faster return on investment and less downtime in critical operations.
Ensure driver dimming compatibility with your control system and confirm wiring topology supports 100-277 VAC or 127-250 VDC inputs. Review installation instructions SP3D/IF sheets and the external control wiring requirements for dimming. The fixture’s rugged enclosure and epoxy-free polycarbonate lens support reliable operation in harsh conditions, complementing centralized or localized control schemes.
