Eaton Crouse-Hinds VMVL-7-W-2B-G-UNV1-S896 - IP66 LED

Feature → Business Impact → Application. The VMVL LED fixture uses a die-cast aluminum housing and a TEFLON coated lens to deliver robust durability in harsh environments, reducing enclosure degradation and maintenance downtime in mining, chemical, and refining plants. This design supports Type V optical distribution for precise, area-wide illumination, enabling safer operation and improved workflow in hazardous zones. The dimmable driver optimizes energy use and reduces heat load, cutting operating costs while preserving lumen maintenance over time. With IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings, the luminaire resists dust, water ingress, and corrosion, meaning fewer field failures and lower replacement costs in outdoor or wash-down areas. Its cone pendant mounting and 3/4 inch trade size streamline installation, shortening project timelines and improving site safety during retrofit projects. The VMVL family’s wide voltage range (100-277 VAC, 127-250 Vdc) supports global deployments and simplifies stocking for multi-site operations, while the 7000 lumen output and 127 lm/W efficiency deliver strong visibility without excessive power draw. In regulated sectors, NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX certifications provide confidence that the fixture meets stringent electrical and safety standards, supporting compliance audits and risk reduction. Compatibility with existing VMVL components and Eaton’s installation literature facilitates smoother commissioning and ongoing maintenance, addressing common objections about retrofitting hazardous-area lighting with new LED technology.
