VMVL LED light fixture combines rugged construction with high-efficiency performance to minimize operating costs and maximize uptime in harsh environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 28W power draw delivering 3000 lumens at ~123 lm/W reduces energy consumption compared with legacy HID sources, cutting operating costs on daily lighting. This results in lower total cost of ownership for facilities with continuous illumination needs, such as chemical plants and manufacturing floors, where downtime directly affects productivity. The warm white light enhances visibility and worker comfort, improving safety and accuracy in process-critical applications. The dimmable driver supports flexible control strategies, enabling zones or task-based lighting to match production schedules. With IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings, the fixture tolerates washdowns, dust, and corrosion in hazardous/classified locations, boosting equipment availability and maintenance intervals. The Type V optical distribution optimizes light spread for 1" trade-size luminaires installed on ceilings, simplifying retrofits and reducing installation time. Designed for 100-277 Vac or 127-250 Vdc operation, it supports diverse site electrical infrastructures, lowering the need for multiple driver configurations. The die-cast aluminum housing, heat- and impact-resistant glass lens, and wire guard deliver rugged durability that withstands vibration and impact in industrial environments, helping facilities meet regulatory and safety standards while minimizing replacement costs. Overall, VMVL provides a reliable, compliant solution that aligns with industry best practices for hazardous-area lighting design and lifecycle ROI.

FAQs
The VMVL is designed for ceiling mounting with a 1" trade size, die-cast aluminum housing, a glass lens, and a wire guard for added protection in hazardous areas. Installers should follow standard safety procedures for confined or classified locations and reference Eaton’s installation instructions (IF 1882/IF 1888) for driver replacement and wiring guidelines. The fixture integrates into existing VMVL family mountings, enabling straightforward retrofits with minimal downtime.
This fixture outputs 3000 lumens at 28 watts with a warm white color temperature. It supports a broad voltage range of 100-277 Vac and 127-250 Vdc, operates at 50/60 Hz, and offers a dimmable driver for flexible control. Its high efficacy (approx. 123 lm/W) helps reduce energy costs while maintaining consistent lighting quality across industrial spaces.
Yes. VMVL is certified for hazardous and classified locations, including IECEx/ATEX Zone 21, and NEC/CEC compliant classifications. It also carries IP66 ingress protection and NEMA 4X ratings, ensuring protection against dust, water, and harsh conditions typical of hazardous-area facilities. This makes it appropriate for chemical plants, oil&gas sites, and other demanding industrial environments.
Dimmable drivers enable precise control of light output, reducing energy use during low-occupancy periods and aligning lighting with production schedules. This lowers electricity costs and heat output, which in turn can extend luminaire life and reduce cooling needs. Additionally, reduced operating hours can minimize driver and ballast wear, decreasing maintenance frequency in demanding facilities.
The fixture’s LED efficiency, long service life, and rugged construction translate to lower energy bills and fewer replacements, driving a favorable lifecycle ROI for hazardous-area lighting. In addition, Eaton provides documentation, installation and maintenance guidance, and standard product support to help operations plan lifecycle budgets and ensure ongoing compliance and safety.
