High-output efficiency drives real-world savings: VMVL delivers 7000 lumens at 127 lm/W from a 61W LED source, replacing a 175W HID with substantially lower energy use and reduced heat load. Business impact: lower utility bills and improved thermal stability in hot industrial spaces; application: refinery, chemical plant, or warehouse lighting where consistent brightness matters. Rugged protection for harsh environments: die-cast aluminum housing with IP66 and NEMA 4X protection minimizes ingress of dust and water and withstands washdown workflows. Impact: reduced maintenance cycles and longer fixture life; application: outdoor facilities, washdown bays, offshore platforms, and mining sites. Hazardous-location readiness: NEC/CEC classifications (Class I Division 2, Zone 2; Class II Division 1; Class III) plus IECEx/ATEX Zone 21 provide multi-region compliance. Impact: simplifies project approvals and supplier consistency; application: oil & gas, chemical processing, and heavy industrial plants. Control-ready design: dimmable driver with PF > 0.90 enables strategic energy management and smoother operation in automation-ready facilities. Impact: optimized lighting schedules, reduced peak demand; application: plants with central control systems and energy-reduction targets. Install-friendly durability: no mounting module required, Type I optical distribution, polycarbonate lens, and die-cast body shorten installation time. Impact: faster retrofit and retrofit-to-new-building projects; application: retrofits in constrained or elevated mounting environments.

FAQs
Installation is simplified by a mounting-module-free design and a robust die-cast aluminum housing. Ensure the installation complies with NEC/CEC Class I Division 2 or Zone 2, and/or IECEx/ATEX Zone 21 requirements. Use approved mounting accessories as needed, connect to 100-277 Vac or 127-250 Vdc supplies, and verify ingress protection (IP66) and NEMA 4X enclosure suitability for your site.
The VMVL-7-R1-UNV1-S903 delivers 7000 lumens at 127 lm/W with a 61W input, PF > 0.90, and 50/60 Hz operation. Its LED-based design extends service life relative to HID, reducing maintenance and replacement costs. This combination supports stable lighting levels for critical processes in hazardous areas while lowering energy consumption.
Yes. The luminaire is rated for NEC hazardous locations Class I Division 2, Zone 2, and Zone 21 (IECEx/ATEX), with a NEMA 4X/IP66 enclosure. Its rugged build and high lumen output make it well-suited for rotating equipment, racks, ceilings, and washdown zones in oil & gas, chemical, and mining environments.
VMVL carries NEC/CEC, IECEx/ATEX, and hazardous-location approvals, including Zone classifications and Division ratings. It features IP66 ingress protection and a NEMA 4X enclosure, with the Zone 21 hazard rating for IECEx/ATEX compliance and Class I Division 2 compatibility, ensuring multi-region regulatory alignment for global projects.
Switching to VMVL reduces energy use by replacing a 175W HID with a 61W LED luminaire, delivering lower operating costs and heat load. The dimmable driver and high PF enable advanced lighting controls, contributing to energy savings and faster payback in facilities pursuing utility incentives and maintenance-cost reductions.
