Eaton Specification Sheet - 717BM7D2SP
Brass guard with a clear glass globe delivers rugged protection for hazardous area lighting, reducing lens breakage and maintenance downtime. This guard design also preserves visibility for operators and inspectors in busy production zones, making ceiling-mounted fixtures in chemical plants and refineries more durable and easier to service. Incandescent lamp, up to 150W with a medium base, aligns with existing industrial power systems and minimizes retrofitting costs, while the 250 VAC rating supports common plant electrical distribution and simplifies parts inventory. IP66 ingress protection and NEMA 4X enclosure ratings provide washdown-ready safety and regulatory compliance for Class I, Division 2 / Zone 2 environments. Ceiling-with-junction-box mounting streamlines installation in retrofit projects and new builds, reducing field labor and disruption. The shockproof lamp holder mitigates vibration-related failures, extending lamp life and lowering maintenance costs. Together, these features deliver reliable illumination, lower total cost of ownership, and confidence in safety-critical operations across oil & gas, chemical processing, and heavy manufacturing facilities.
