Eaton Specification Sheet - 740ASM
Copper-free aluminum housing delivers superior corrosion resistance in humid, chemical, and washdown environments, reducing maintenance frequency and total cost of ownership while maintaining structural integrity for outdoor and indoor installations. This translates to longer intervals between protective coatings or replacements, which is critical for downtime-sensitive production lines and mining facilities. In practice, your field crews experience fewer service calls when this fixture is deployed in harsh areas, enabling steadier production throughput and improved facility uptime. The robust housing also contributes to a lighter platform, easing handling during installation and ongoing servicing in constrained spaces. For surface-mount lighting projects, this means streamlined retrofits and faster commissioning without heavy mounting accessories. The result is a more predictable maintenance window and lower labor costs over the life of the system.

FAQs
The 740ASM is a surface-mount industrial spot light designed for 120 VAC supply and rated at 200 W incandescent lamps. It supports ordinary/non-hazardous locations per NEC/CEC and features IP66 ingress protection and a NEMA 4 enclosure. Compatible mounting surfaces include walls and ceilings suitable for mounted fixtures in manufacturing plants, mines, and processing facilities. For retrofit projects, confirm the mounting footprint matches your existing surface and ensure clearance for lamp access and lens maintenance.
IP66 ensures complete protection against dust ingress and powerful water jets, while NEMA 4 provides weather resistance for indoor and outdoor use, including washdown areas. Together, they deliver dependable operation in dusty, wet, or corrosion-prone spaces, reducing unscheduled downtime. This combination is ideal for industrial facilities, chemical plants, and outdoor equipment bays where exposure to moisture, spray, or harsh cleaning regimes is common.
Primary applications include general-purpose industrial spot lighting for work areas, equipment bays, and ingress-prone zones in manufacturing, mining, and chemical processing. The 740ASM provides controlled, medium-beam lighting that improves visibility around critical equipment without excessive glare. Its rugged housing and protection ratings make it suitable for installations near washdown zones or in environments with dust and temperature variations, helping facilities meet safety and productivity targets.
Installation is streamlined by the surface-mount design, reducing labor and mounting hardware needs. The copper-free aluminum housing resists corrosion, lowering maintenance frequency, while heat-resistant glass minimizes lens damage in high-temperature zones near equipment. Routine maintenance typically involves lens cleaning and lamp replacement, with service intervals extended by the fixture’s robust enclosure ratings. If a retrofit requires, the catalog and installation sheets provided by Eaton simplify field onboarding and ensure consistent wiring practices.
The 740ASM uses a 200 W incandescent lamp at 120 VAC, offering robust performance in tough environments but with higher energy use than LED alternatives. When budgeting, factor lamp replacement cycles and electrical consumption into total cost of ownership. For environments where energy efficiency is critical, plan for periodic assessments and consider if an LED retrofit or alternative lighting strategy is more economical long-term, while recognizing the 740ASM’s proven ruggedness and compliance certifications that support mission-critical applications.
