Eaton Crouse-Hinds VMVL-5-3C-UNV1-S891-TB6 - Hazardous Area

Rugged die-cast aluminum housing paired with a diffused glass lens delivers superior durability in vibration-prone and chemical-adjacent environments. This construction reduces corrosion-related maintenance and minimizes downtime, making it ideal for chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, and mining sites. The IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings provide proven ingress protection against dust, water, and harsh solvents, helping facilities stay compliant with hazardous-location lighting standards. With 5000 lumens of cool-white light and a Type V distribution, VMVL achieves broad, uniform coverage at just 45 watts, delivering about 127 lumens per watt. The energy efficiency lowers operating costs and reduces cooling loads, while a dimmable driver enables tuning for occupancy sensors or daylight harvesting. In practice, this translates to longer intervals between lamp replacements and lower total cost of ownership. Electrical versatility and installation simplicity drive faster ROI. The luminaire accepts 100-277 VAC or 127-250 VDC, operates at 50/60 Hz, and maintains a PF > 0.90, ensuring reliable performance from plant power rails to DC bus systems. A 1" trade size and 6-pole terminal block support straightforward wiring and retrofit installs on existing fixtures. Designed for hazardous area deployments, VMVL aligns with NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX standards and Zone 21 classifications, reducing procurement risk in global projects. Its ceiling-mount design and compact 11.83 inch length simplify cavity planning, while the diffused glass lens minimizes glare for operators. Overall, this luminaire blends rugged protection with dependable lighting quality. Lifecycle reliability is enhanced by die-cast aluminum, sealed electronics, and high-quality optics. The VMVL is compatible with 1" trade size fittings and standard CE-compliant installation practices, making retrofits faster and less risky. Routine maintenance is simplified by robust construction that minimizes lens replacement and gasket failures. In many sectors, the VMVL supports long-term budgeting by delivering consistent performance and reduced maintenance costs.
