Eaton Crouse-Hinds VMVL-7-R3-UNV34 LED light fixture - Hazardous/ Classified Locations IP66

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The VMVL-7-R3-UNV34 uses a high-output LED engine delivering 7000 lumens at 127 lumens per watt, reducing the number of fixtures required and lowering energy costs across large hazardous-location areas. This results in a measurable decrease in operating expenses while maintaining ample vertical and horizontal illumination for critical workflows in refineries, chemical plants, and mining sites. Feature → Type III optical distribution provides targeted light where it’s needed most, improving visibility for operators and improving safety metrics in congested plant rooms and outdoor yards. Feature → 347-480 VAC input with a dimmable driver enables seamless integration with existing electrical systems and controls, supporting dimming strategies that reduce peak demand charges without compromising visibility. Feature → IP66 and NEMA 4X enclosures deliver robust protection against dust, water ingress, and corrosive environments, extending service life in offshore platforms, tank farms, and wastewater treatment facilities. Feature → Glass lens and die-cast aluminum housing resist impact and heat, lowering maintenance intervals and replacement costs in high-traffic or outdoor industrial settings. Feature → Hazardous-location certifications (Zone 21, Class I Division 2, Zone 2, Class II Division 1, Class III) ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, enabling safe operation in oil, gas, and chemical processing zones. Feature → 50/60 Hz compatibility and a 61 W rating align with standard industrial power systems, simplifying installation and promoting energy efficiency across mixed fleets. Industry insight: In harsh environments, LED luminaires with proven IP66/NEMA 4X protection and Type III distribution are favored for retrofit projects where downtime is costly and safety standards are non-negotiable. The VMVL-7-R3-UNV34 aligns with this trend, delivering predictable performance while supporting preventive maintenance programs and long-term cost reduction.
