FAQs
The 717B-C1 is designed for ceiling mounting with a 1/2" trade size and through-feed wiring. This simplifies retrofits in existing conduits and reduces downtime during installation. Ensure a secure mounting surface and appropriate wiring to support 300 VAC operation and 50/60 Hz supply. The medium base companion lamp also facilitates straightforward lamp replacement.
Its brass guard and glass globe provide robust protection against incidental impact and dust, while IP66 ingress protection guards against water intrusion in damp or dusty spaces. Combined with NEC/CEC compliance and ordinary/Non-Hazardous Location classification, the fixture offers reliable performance in manufacturing, warehousing, and maintenance areas without special safety concessions.
The fixture is specified for incandescent lamps with a total of 2 × 27 W, using a medium base and max lamp size of A-19. Substituting higher wattage or non-incandescent lamps is not recommended, as it can impact thermal performance, ballast independence, and IP66 protection. Always replace with approved A-19 incandescent lamps within the 2 × 27 W limit.
The 717B-C1 adheres to NEC/CEC standards and is certified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. Its IP66 rating provides environmental protection, and the fixture is suitable for ceiling-mounted installations in general industrial settings, including manufacturing and warehousing, where non-hazardous locations apply.
The brass guard and glass globe design minimizes lamp breakage and shield damage, reducing maintenance frequency in tough facilities. Its straightforward installation, standard lamp replacement (2 × 27 W), and compatibility with through-feed wiring help shorten downtime during service windows. Over time, this translates to lower maintenance costs and improved uptime for critical industrial areas.
