Eaton Specification Sheet - EPC31B
Tempered glass globe with brass guard provides superior impact resistance and chemical resilience, increasing uptime in environments with dust, moisture, and vibrations. Business impact: fewer bulb replacements and longer service intervals for hazardous location lighting, translating to lower maintenance costs and reduced downtime during plant operations. Application: chemical processing facilities, refineries, and mining sites where reliable illumination is critical for safety and productivity. Medium base, 200W incandescent lamp compatibility at 250 VAC broadens stocking options and supports straightforward retrofits, helping maintenance teams avoid replacement delays and complex ballast changes. Business impact: streamlined procurement and rapid replacement cycles in mission-critical areas. Application: retrofit projects and new builds requiring standard lamp types and predictable performance. Ceiling mounting simplifies installation in constrained spaces and reduces installation labor time, delivering faster commissioning and safer working conditions. Business impact: lower project costs and easier inspections in industrial plants. IP66, NEMA 4X enclosure, and NEC/CEC compliance ensure compliance and protection against dust, water, and corrosive atmospheres. Application: offshore platforms, chemical plants, and other hazardous locations. Guard and globe materials—brass and tempered glass—extend equipment life in corrosive environments, reducing total cost of ownership. Application: durable lighting for long-term operation in exposed industrial ceilings.
