Its ceiling-mount design simplifies installation in existing facilities, and the 30W CFL provides efficient lighting for typical workshop and process areas. This combination supports straightforward integration with common panel schedules and wiring practices.
This fixture carries Hazardous/Classified Locations area classification with NEC/CEC standards, Class I, Division 1 and Division 2 ratings, NEMA 4X enclosure protection, and IP66 ingress protection. These certifications verify safe operation in explosive atmospheres and washdown-ready settings, helping you meet regulatory and safety requirements.
Yes. With IP66 and NEMA 4X protection, along with a brass guard and tempered glass globe, the luminaire resists water, dust, and corrosive exposure. It maintains lumen output and reliability in harsh washdown zones commonly found in chemical plants, refineries, and food processing facilities.
Plan for ceiling mounting in suitable process or utility spaces. The brass guard and tempered glass globe require careful handling during mounting and lamp changes. Refer to the included installation sheets (IF LBL1415) for fluorescent ceiling-mount guidance and ensure compliance with NEC/CEC wiring practices for 120 Vac supplies.
The combination of a 30W compact fluorescent lamp, long service life, and rugged enclosure lowers energy usage and maintenance frequency. IP66/NEMA 4X protection minimizes downtime in harsh environments, improving process uptime and safety compliance, which translates into reduced total cost of ownership over the fixture’s life cycle.
