The 738A is designed for wall mounting using standard hardware and mounting footprints. It uses a medium base socket and accepts up to a 150W incandescent lamp with an A-21 maximum size. For proper installation, follow Eaton’s IF LBL1406 instructions and ensure the supply is 300 VAC. This keeps alignment with existing electrical boxes and minimizes retrofit challenges in industrial spaces.
IP66 indicates complete protection against dust ingress and protection against powerful water jets from any direction. In non-hazardous industrial spaces, this means the globe and guard maintain performance during washdown cycles or dusty production environments. The combination with a copper-free aluminum guard helps resist corrosion and prolongs service life even under frequent cleaning and exposure to humidity.
The 738A is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and adheres to NEC/CEC standards. It is not listed for hazardous (Class/Division) locations, so it should be deployed in standard industrial settings such as warehouses, shops, and manufacturing bays. For hazardous environments, you would need a different luminaire with appropriate explosion-proof ratings and certifications.
The 738A complies with NEC/CEC standards and carries an IP66 ingress protection rating. It is designated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, aligning with common industrial codes and procurement requirements. These certifications help streamline approval processes and ensure consistent performance across typical manufacturing or distribution facilities.
Maintenance is straightforward due to the glass globe and copper-free aluminum guard, which simplify cleaning and replacement. The lamp is a 150W incandescent with a medium base and A-21 maximum size, allowing readily available bulb replacements. For ongoing uptime, reference Eaton’s installation and spec sheets, and leverage the standard simple swap-in lamp approach to minimize downtime and extend productive hours.
