Hazardous-location protection delivers reliable operation in Class I, Zone 2 and Zone 21 environments, with IP66 and NEMA 4X protection that reduce maintenance downtime and extend luminaire life in aggressive atmospheres. This improves safety and uptime in chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, and mining sites, while keeping installation straightforward with a pendant mount and 1 inch trade size. The high-durability die-cast aluminum housing, coupled with a heat and impact resistant glass lens and wire guard, ensures long service life where vibration and harsh conditions are common. The luminaire provides 9000 lumens at 126 lm/W from a 76W driver, offering HID-equivalent performance with significantly lower energy consumption and cooler operation, helping facilities meet energy-reduction targets and improve thermal management. Type V optical distribution delivers uniform area lighting, reducing hot spots and enhancing visibility for operators and inspectors.

FAQs

Begin with the pendant-mount configuration and ensure a proper 1 inch trade-size conduit fit. Use the six-pole terminal block for secure wiring and connect to a supply within the 100-277 Vac or 127-250 Vdc range. Follow installation sheets IF 1882 and related Eaton-Crouse-Hinds instructions to maintain IP66 and NEMA 4X integrity. Ensure all seals and guards are oriented for hazard zones and verify mounting stability before operation. The design supports easy retrofit in existing fixtures without compromising hazardous-location ratings.
The VMVL-9-3A-G-UNV1-TB6 delivers 9000 lumens with an efficiency of 126 lm/W, drawing only 76 watts. It operates on 50/60 Hz and features a dimmable driver with a power factor greater than 0.90. It is equivalent to a 250W HID in light output while offering cooler, more energy-efficient operation. The Type V optical distribution ensures uniform lighting over large work areas, and the pendant mount supports flexible installation in high-ceiling environments.
Yes. The VMVL is designed for hazardous and classified locations, with IECEx/ATEX Zone 21 certification and NEC/CEC compliance that include Class I, Division 2 and Zone 2 ratings, along with IP66 and NEMA 4X protection. This makes it appropriate for offshore platforms, refineries, chemical processing facilities, and other challenging environments where safe, reliable lighting is required.
VMVL uses a long-life LED platform with a durable die-cast aluminum housing and heat-resistant glass, reducing lamp replacements and associated downtime. The IP66/NEMA 4X enclosure protects electrical components from dust, water, and corrosive exposure, while the dimmable driver enables optimized energy use and thermal management. This combination lowers total cost of ownership by decreasing maintenance frequency and extending service intervals in hazardous locations.
Replacing a 250W HID equivalent with a 76W VMVL yields substantial energy savings (roughly 70% lower power draw for the same light output). Coupled with reduced cooling load and lower maintenance due to LED longevity, facilities can see faster payback times, especially in high-hour, continuous-operation environments. ROI will vary with run hours, energy costs, and retrofit scope, but the technology generally delivers meaningful total cost of ownership improvements.
