Quick Summary

Explosion-proof light fixture for hazardous locations delivers reliable illumination in industrial facilities. If you’ve struggled with frequent relamping, moisture ingress, or brittle housings in harsh environments, this model addresses those challenges with a factory-sealed design. The EVI501 carries robust certifications that matter in the field: IP66 environment protection, NEMA 4X housing, and NEC/CEC compliance for use in Class I Division 1, Zone 1, and Zone 2 locations. In addition to safety and durability, you gain long-term lifecycle value through a rugged copper-free aluminum construction and a maintenance-friendly form factor. For procurement teams, this means fewer replacements, improved uptime, and a standardized solution across hazardous-location projects that still fits existing PS-40 lamp inventories.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: Mogul base, 500W incandescent lamp delivers high-intensity area illumination suitable for large spaces or task lighting in hazardous locations, supporting retrofit or replacement in existing installations without sacrificing brightness. This translates to reduced downtime during maintenance windows and fewer fixtures needed to achieve required lux levels in chemical plants or refineries. Application: Petrochemical and offshore facilities where reliable, high-output lighting is non-negotiable and downtime costs are high. Feature → Heat and impact resistant glass globe plus copper-free aluminum guard provide superior durability in vibration-prone environments, cutting risk of glass failure and protecting critical components; business impact: lower maintenance costs and safer operation. Application: Harsh industrial environments with temperature swings and chemical exposure. Feature → Copper-free aluminum housing and guard resist corrosion in salty or aggressive atmospheres; business impact: longer service life and lower total cost of ownership. Application: Marine and coastal facilities where corrosion resistance matters. Feature → Factory sealed design and no mounting module simplify installation; business impact: faster commissioning and safer, tamper-resistant installations. Application: New-build hazardous-area lighting deployments and retrofits. Feature → IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings combined with NEC/CEC compliance; business impact: assured operation in Class I, Division 1, Zone 1/Zone 2, Class II, and Class III environments; Application: Industrial plants requiring rigorous regulatory compliance and equipment protection.
