Brass housing and heat-resistant glass reduce corrosion and glare, delivering durable optics in corrosive environments, which translates to longer maintenance intervals and lower replacement costs. This feature supports reliable illumination in chemical plants and mining operations, improving operator visibility and safety, while lowering downtime. The 120 VAC, 300 W incandescent lamp provides robust brightness with predictable performance, enabling effective task lighting for critical operations and reducing the time spent adjusting lighting levels in hazardous areas. The medium optical distribution ensures even coverage across work zones, which enhances crew efficiency and reduces shadowed spots that can cause errors. IP66 ingress protection and a NEMA 4X enclosure deliver robust protection against water, dust, and corrosive agents, helping you meet regulatory requirements and extend fixture life in harsh environments. Surface mounting simplifies retrofits and maintenance planning, enabling faster installation, easier access for service, and compatibility with existing Pauluhn 700 Series systems. This combination supports total cost of ownership reduction and improved reliability for hazardous-location lighting portfolios.
