FAQs
EPC30B is designed for ceiling mounting with a medium-base socket and accepts 2x27W incandescent lamps up to A-19 size. This compatibility supports easy lamp replacement with standard, widely available bulbs, minimizing downtime during maintenance while preserving the fixture’s protective brass guard and tempered-glass globe. The installation aligns with NEC/CEC requirements for safety in hazardous areas.
The EPC30B carries Class I, Division 1 and Division 2 hazardous-location ratings, NEC/CEC standards, and IP66 ingress protection with a NEMA 4X enclosure. These certifications indicate suitability for environments with explosive atmospheres, dust, washdowns, and corrosive exposure, helping facilities meet regulatory requirements and reduce risk during operation and audits.
Typical applications include chemical processing plants, refineries, paint shops, offshore platforms, and other areas requiring durable ceiling-mounted lighting in hazardous zones. Its tempered glass globe, brass guard, and IP66 protection make it ideal for washdown environments while maintaining clear visibility and safe operation for maintenance crews and operators.
Yes. The EPC30B uses a standard medium-base socket supporting 2x27W incandescent lamps, enabling straightforward replacement with widely available A-19 bulbs. Replacing lamps should be done with the fixture powered down and in accordance with safety procedures to preserve sealing integrity and maintain ongoing compliance with IP66/NEMA 4X protections.
Maintenance benefits stem from durable brass guarding, tempered-glass globe protection, and a familiar lamp type, which reduces downtime and training needs. While initial investment is higher than non-hazardous lighting, lifecycle costs drop due to longer replacement intervals, reduced risk of failure in hazardous zones, and easier compliance testing, resulting in favorable total cost of ownership in safety-critical environments.
