Champ VMV LED Hazardous Area
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The VMVL-5-2C-G-UNV1-S896 uses a 5000-lumen LED array delivering 127 lumens per watt, which translates to lower energy consumption and longer service intervals for facilities aiming to cut operating costs while maintaining bright, consistent coverage across large spaces such as chemical plants and refineries. This supports reduced downtime and improved worker safety in hazardous locations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: An IP66/NEMA 4X rated die-cast aluminum housing with a TEFLON coated lens provides robust protection against dust, water, and corrosive environments, extending the fixture life in rugged processing areas and offshore installations. Application includes cooler, more reliable operation in humid or high-dust environments without frequent replacements. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The VMVL series offers a wide voltage range (100-277 Vac, 127-250 Vdc) and a dimmable driver, enabling seamless integration with diverse power systems and phased lighting strategies; this reduces the need for multiple inventory parts and simplifies retrofits in complex facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Type V optical distribution ensures uniform ceiling illumination for large bays, improving visibility for critical tasks such as valve alignment and pump maintenance in hazardous zones. This translates to faster task completion and enhanced safety. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The fixture’s 45 W rating with 5000 lumens and 127 lm/W efficiency delivers a strong energy payback, particularly when deployed at scale in oil & gas, chemical processing, and mining plants, where lighting reliability is paramount and energy costs are a major consideration. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compliance and documentation via the extensive certification suite (NEC/CEC, IECEx/ATEX, Zone 21) supports audit readiness and reduces commissioning risk for projects requiring formal hazard-area approvals, streamlining procurement and handover processes in regulated markets.

FAQs
This luminaire is designed for hazardous/classified locations and supports ceiling mounting with a Type V optical distribution. Ensure the mounting surface, enclosure, and wiring methods comply with NEC Class I Division 2 standards. Verify proper grounding, secure fasteners, and strain relief for 100-277 VAC or 127-250 VDC supplies, while following the installation sheets and manufacturer instructions.
The fixture operates at 100-277 VAC and 127-250 VDC with a 50/60 Hz frequency rating. It consumes 45 W and delivers about 5000 lumens with a luminous efficacy of 127 lm/W. The driver is dimmable, and the unit maintains a power factor above 0.90, helping reduce reactive power and improve upstream electrical efficiency.
Yes. The VMVL-5-2C-G-UNV1-S896 uses a Type V optical distribution pattern, which delivers uniform illumination ideal for large, open spaces like process areas, warehouses, and control rooms in hazardous locations. This improves visibility and task performance while enabling safer operations and easier maintenance planning.
The fixture carries NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX standards, Zone 21 hazardous location rating, and IP66/NEMA 4X enclosure protection. These certifications support compliance across global markets, simplify approvals for offshore and chemical plant projects, and reduce risk during audits and commissioning.
LED technology provides long life and reduced maintenance intervals versus HID equivalents, while the rugged die-cast aluminum housing and TEFLON coated lens resist corrosion and contamination. Combined with dimmable operation and high energy efficiency, facilities typically realize lower energy costs, reduced replacement cycles, and quicker payback on large-scale hazardous-location deployments.
