FAQs
The 717BM7D2 is designed for ceiling-mount with a junction box, compatible with medium-base incandescent lamps up to 150 W and a 250 VAC supply. Its brass guard and clear glass globe are built for harsh environments, while the IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings ensure protection against dust, moisture, and corrosives. This makes retrofits straightforward and minimizes integration risk with standard electrical wiring practices in hazardous areas.
This fixture carries NEC/CEC hazardous location ratings, including Class I Division 2 and Zone 2, and is rated NEMA 4X with IP66 ingress protection. The combination of these certifications confirms suitability for hazardous processes and compliance-with-safety standards, reducing regulatory risk while enabling reliable operation in challenging environments such as chemical and petrochemical facilities.
Yes. Designed for ceiling-mount with a junction box, the 717BM7D2 fits common retrofit scenarios in hazardous locations. Its incandescent lamp configuration (A-21, up to 150 W) and robust brass guard simplify replacement parts management, while IP66/NEMA 4X protection supports ongoing operation in environments with dust, moisture, and corrosives. This enables upgrading lighting without extensive enclosure changes.
Maintenance focuses on lamp replacement and enclosure integrity. The 150 W A-21 incandescent lamp is readily replaceable, and the brass guard plus clear glass globe are designed for impact resistance and long service life in harsh environments. Routine checks should confirm seal integrity, clean the globe for visibility, and inspect the guard for any signs of wear or corrosion.
The ROI comes from reduced maintenance costs due to durable IP66/NEMA 4X protection, lower downtime from reliable illumination, and fewer parts inventories because the lamp type is a common incandescent with straightforward replacement. In hazardous facilities, the compliance with NEC/CEC standards also mitigates regulatory risk, supporting safer operations and longer asset lifecycles.
