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.

FAQs
For Class I Division 2 locations, use the provided cone pendant mounting and 3/4 inch trade size hardware. Ensure wiring follows NEC/CEC guidelines and use enclosed terminations rated for hazardous locations. The fixture’s IP66/NEMA 4X enclosure protects against dust, water, and corrosion, simplifying retrofits and new installs in hazardous areas.
Key specs include 7000 lumens at 61 W with a DA efficiency of 127 lm/W, voltage range 100-277 VAC (127-250 VDC), and a dimmable driver. The unit maintains PF > 0.90 and operates at 50/60 Hz, making it suitable for global installations while delivering reliable illumination in hazardous environments.
Yes. The VMVL is designed with Type V optical distribution to provide uniform, area-wide illumination. This is ideal for large industrial spaces, stairwells, and outdoor facilities where consistent light levels are critical for safety and productivity.
The fixture is certified for NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX compliance, with hazardous ratings including Class I Division 2 and Zone 21. Its IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings, along with rugged construction, help meet regulatory requirements and support safe operation in harsh environments.
LED technology delivers longer life and lower maintenance than HID equivalents (175W HID equivalent). The dimmable driver reduces energy use, while IP66/NEMA 4X protection minimizes field failures. Together with higher lumens per watt, this reduces maintenance frequency and energy costs, delivering a favorable ROI in tough industrial settings.
