FAQs
Yes. VMVL-3-W-R3-G-UNV1 is designed for hazardous locations and carries NEC/CEC compliance with Class I Division 2 and Zone 21 ratings, aligning with typical hazardous-area lighting requirements in chemical and oil & gas facilities.
The luminaire operates at 100–277 Vac or 127–250 Vdc, with a 50/60 Hz frequency rating. It consumes 28 W to deliver 3000 lumens, achieving >0.90 power factor and a Type III optical distribution for efficient coverage.
Installation is simplified by a no mounting module design and a rugged die-cast aluminum housing. It also features a wire guard and heat-resistant glass, IP66/NEMA 4X protection, and universal voltage compatibility, reducing downtime during retrofits and new builds.
Yes. The fixture is IP66 coastal-rated for dust and water ingress and NEMA 4X protected, ensuring durability against environmental exposure, washdowns, and corrosive atmospheres typical of hazardous-area installations.
By replacing a 70W HID with 28W LED, the VMVL-3-W-R3-G-UNV1 reduces energy consumption by roughly 60% while delivering comparable or better lumens. Combined with longer life, dimmable operation, and lower maintenance, facilities can realize quicker payback and lower total cost of ownership.
