FAQs

VMVL-9-3A-UNV1 is designed for pendant mounting with a 1" trade size and Type V optical distribution, suitable for Class I/II and Zone 21 environments. Installers should verify enclosure integrity (IP66, NEMA 4X) and ensure compatible control gear for dimming, given the dimmable driver and broad voltage range. Proper sealing, mounting height, and secure conduit connections are essential for dependable operation in hazardous locations.
The VMVL-9-3A-UNV1 supports NEC Class I, Division 2 ratings and Zone 21 per IECEx/ATEX, enabling safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres. Its rugged die-cast aluminum housing and glass lens provide mechanical protection, while the IP66/NEMA 4X enclosure reduces ingress risks. This combination helps maintain uptime and compliance in chemical plants and similar facilities.
Yes. The luminaire operates across a 50/60 Hz grid and supports a broad voltage range of 100-277 Vac or 127-250 Vdc with a dimmable driver. A high power factor (>0.90) ensures efficient operation and reduced harmonic distortion, while dimming enables integration with occupancy sensing or daylight harvesting systems to optimize energy use in hazardous locations.
With 9000 lumens at 126 lm/W and a 76W draw, the VMVL-9-3A-UNV1 delivers strong luminosity at a lower energy footprint compared with HID equivalents. The long-life LED design reduces maintenance cycles and lamp replacements in inaccessible or high-risk areas, lowering total cost of ownership in harsh industrial environments.
