Hazardous-location rated enclosure paired with IP66 protection provides a durable, sealed fixture that resists dust, water, and corrosion. This reduces maintenance costs and risk in Class I, Division 2 environments such as chemical processing and oil refining. Pauluhn AllPro compatibility offers a proven platform for retrofit or new installations in plants with strict compliance requirements. The 4 ft length with 2 lamps and a 32W wattage delivers steady lumen output over a standard 4 ft footprint, enabling reliable illumination while controlling energy use and ballast maintenance. This translates to lower ongoing electricity costs and fewer replacement cycles in facilities with long contiguous runs. Emergency battery back-up ballast delivers essential egress lighting during power loss, helping meet life-safety codes and reducing downtime during outages. This is especially valuable in refineries, chemical plants, and offshore facilities where uninterrupted visibility is critical. Polycarbonate flat lens and an aluminum housing provide impact resistance and weather sealing, enhancing uptime in wet, dusty, or corrosive environments. This construction supports long service life with minimal cleaning and maintenance. Easy installation is supported by standard wall/ceiling mounting, a 3/4" entry, and universal voltage (120-277 Vac, 50/60 Hz). The fixture aligns with NEC/CEC standards and NEMA 4 ratings, streamlining commissioning and compliance audits in hazardous-location projects.
