FAQs
The 718B is ceiling-mounted and designed for straightforward installation in ordinary locations. It uses a medium base, PS-25 maximum lamp, and a 300 VAC supply, aligning with common electrical and fixture standards. For retrofit projects, mount brackets and the brass guard are secured to a ceiling box, attach the glass globe, and connect to a suitable transformer and 50/60 Hz power source. Always verify IP66 sealing after installation to maintain ingress protection.
Key performance specs include IP66 ingress protection, 300 VAC voltage rating, 50/60 Hz frequency, and a 300W incandescent lamp capability with PS-25 maximum size. This combination delivers durable protection against dust and moisture while supporting standard electrical infrastructure. The brass guard and glass globe reduce lamp damage from impact, contributing to longer intervals between maintenance and lower total cost of ownership.
Yes, the 718B is appropriate for warehouses and other ordinary locations due to its IP66 protection and brass guard. It carries NEC/CEC standards and is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. This ensures regulatory compliance while delivering reliable illumination in spaces with dust, debris, or occasional moisture exposure, helping maintain safe and compliant operations.
The unit is designed for 300W incandescent lamps with a PS-25 maximum size on a medium base. When replacing lamps, ensure the new lamp matches PS-25 size and voltage rating, and reseal the globe and guard to preserve IP66 protection. This approach preserves brightness, reduces premature failure, and minimizes downtime during maintenance cycles.
The 718B offers a durable, protected lighting solution that reduces lamp breakage and ingress-related downtime, lowering maintenance costs over time. Its compatibility with common PS-25 lamps, 300 VAC systems, and NEC/CEC compliance simplifies procurement and regulatory alignment. In addition, access to Eaton’s specifications, installation sheets, and catalogs supports faster deployment and long-term after-sales support.
