IP66 ingress protection and a NEMA 4X enclosure protect the luminaire in dusty or washdown environments, reducing maintenance cycles and the risk of electrical faults. This rugged protection translates to lower replacement costs and fewer unplanned outages in busy manufacturing facilities. Suitable for industrial floors, chemical plants, and other hazardous-location environments, the FEPC31A-26 keeps operators safe while delivering reliable illumination. Copper-free aluminum guard and tempered glass globe provide corrosion resistance and clear visibility in tough environments. The combination stands up to chemical exposure and frequent cleaning cycles without sacrificing light transmission. This makes it a dependable choice for process areas, washdowns, and indoor zones where safety and clarity matter. 1 x 30W compact fluorescent lamp at 50/60 Hz on a 120 VAC supply offers a familiar, energy-efficient lighting option with a straightforward replacement path. The medium base simplifies maintenance, stocking, and retrofits alongside compatible Pauluhn EP fixtures. This helps minimize downtime during lamp changes and ensures consistent color rendering for critical inspection tasks. Ceiling mounting with a compact footprint simplifies installation in tight or awkward spaces, and the 6.25 by 6.25 inch footprint with a 12.5 inch height fits many luminaire layouts. The fixture's dimensions, along with the copper-free aluminum guard, permit straightforward alignment with existing electrical boxes and guards. This makes retrofits and new installations in hazardous locations quicker and safer. NEC/CEC compliance and Class I Division 1 and Division 2 ratings simplify regulatory approvals and procurement. By meeting recognized standards, the FEPC31A-26 reduces the design risk for projects in classified locations and supports a faster approval cycle with safety teams. Coupled with IP66 and 4X protection, it offers a compliant lighting solution for oil, gas, chemical, and heavy manufacturing operations.
