FAQs

Installation follows standard hazardous-location luminaire practices: ensure correct classification (Hazardous/Classified, Zone 21/Div 1/2), mount using appropriate hardware, connect the universal voltage supply (100-277 Vac or 127-250 Vdc), and verify IP66/NEMA 4X seals. The unit’s guardless design and absence of a mounting module simplify placement in constrained spaces, while the dimmable driver supports energy management without compromising safety.
The VMVL-9-R3-UNV1-S896 supports universal voltage input of 100-277 Vac and 127-250 Vdc, with a dimmable driver. This enables flexible control strategies across facilities with mixed power systems and allows configuring lighting levels to balance safety and energy usage, reducing peak demand and maintenance cycles in harsh environments.
Yes. The VMVL-9-R3-UNV1-S896 is certified for Zone 21 and multiple NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX hazardous-location standards, including Class I, Division 2 and Class II, Division 1, Class III. Its IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings provide robust environmental protection, making it suitable for chemical plants, refineries, and other hazardous-industrial settings.
Proof of reliability comes from IP66 protection, NEMA 4X enclosure, and hazardous-location certifications (IECEx/ATEX Zone 21, NEC/CEC). The die-cast aluminum housing, Teflon-coated lens, and guardless design resist corrosion, dust ingress, and water exposure, while the dimmable driver and high PF (>0.90) ensure stable performance and energy efficiency over time.
Expect extended service life from 9000-lumen LED performance, reduced lamp-replacement costs, and lower energy bills thanks to high efficacy (126 lm/W) and dimming capability. The rugged build supports longer intervals between maintenance cycles, improving uptime in critical areas and delivering a favorable total cost of ownership for facilities operating in challenging environments.
