Eaton Specification Sheet - EPB47B
Brass guard and tempered glass globe deliver standout impact resistance, protecting the lamp and fitting from accidental hits and debris in busy facilities. This rugged construction reduces glass breakage and ballast effects, lowering maintenance downtime and replacement costs for critical processes. Suitable for wall-mounted luminaires in production lines, loading docks, and maintenance corridors where physical contact is frequent. IP66 ingress protection combined with a NEMA 4X enclosure ensures dust ingress and water jets won't compromise performance in harsh environments. That level of enclosure strength translates to fewer unplanned outages, improved operator safety, and longer service intervals in outdoor or wet areas. Ideal for outdoor facilities, wash-down zones, and chemical plants where exposure to elements is routine. Incandescent compatibility up to 200W with a medium base and A-21 lamp size means ready replacements are widely available. This standardization reduces spare parts inventory and procurement complexity while enabling straightforward retrofits for aging hazardous-location lighting. Common applications include general area lighting and task lighting in hazardous locations across manufacturing floors and process areas. Wall mounting with a cast brass guard simplifies installation, improves rigidity, and provides durable protection without interfering with fixtures. Quick setup minimizes field labor, aligns with common electrical practices, and supports faster commissioning in brownfield or greenfield projects. Installation in spaces with restricted access is easier thanks to a compact footprint and standardized mounting pattern. Compliance with NEC/CEC and hazardous location ratings Class I Division 1 and 2 gives engineering teams regulatory confidence. IP66 and NEMA 4X certification extend asset life by resisting dust, moisture, and corrosive atmospheres in demanding plants. Together, these features drive ROI through reduced downtime, fewer lamp replacements, and longer luminaire life in industrial environments.
