Feature – The SPS42170EM1XCT uses a 4 ft, two-lamp, 32 W configuration with T8 bi-pin lamps for efficient, high-quality output. Business Impact – Lower energy use per lumen and longer intervals between re-lamping reduce operating costs. Application – Ideal for long-run installations such as production lines or service corridors in hazardous locations. Feature – Through-feed wiring with a 3/4" entry and two hubs enables rapid, scalable installation. Business Impact – Simplifies wiring, reduces labor time, and supports fast commissioning. Application – Common in retrofit projects and new builds where reliable power distribution is critical. Feature – 304 stainless steel housing and clear polycarbonate lens deliver corrosion resistance and clear visibility. Business Impact – Extends service life in humid, chemical, or marine environments, lowering replacement costs. Application – Offshore platforms, chemical plants, and mining facilities. Feature – IP66 ingress protection and NEC hazardous location ratings (Class I, Division 2; Class II, Division 2; Class III) plus NEMA 4. Business Impact – Ensures compliance and uninterrupted operation in demanding atmospheres. Application – Hazardous-location plants requiring rugged, compliant lighting. Feature – Emergency battery back-up ballast (one lamp, 277 V max) provides interim illumination during power interruptions. Business Impact – Improves safety compliance and reduces downtime during outages. Application – Exit routes, safety zones, and critical process areas in hazardous environments. Feature – Universal voltage 120–277 VAC, 50/60 Hz operation enables deployment across multiple sites. Business Impact – Eliminates the need for multiple stock SKUs and streamlines procurement. Application – Multi-site facilities with mixed power infrastructure.

FAQs

Install follows standard through-feed mounting with a 3/4" entry and two hubs for power distribution. Connect 120-277 VAC, 50/60 Hz, ensure enclosure surface is clean, and secure the 304 stainless steel housing to a suitable rigid support. Use proper seals to maintain IP66 integrity and verify Class I, II, III ratings are applicable to the installation area. This design minimizes wiring complexity and speeds commissioning in tough environments.
The fixture operates at 120-277 VAC, 50/60 Hz, with a 32 W, two-lamp configuration using T8 bi-pin lamps. It is designed for a 4 ft lamp length and provides robust illumination in hazardous locations. The emergency battery back-up option adds safety-critical capability, and the unit supports 277 V maximum in its back-up ballast configuration.
Yes. It is rated IP66 and NEMA 4, with NEC hazardous location classifications including Class I Division 2, Class II Division 2, and Class III. The 304 stainless steel housing and clear polycarbonate lens resist corrosion and impact, making it ideal for chemical plants, mining, and offshore facilities where exposure to moisture and chemicals is common.
The fixture complies with NEC/CEC electrical standards for hazardous locations and is certified for Class I, Division 2; Class II, Division 2; Class III. It also meets NEMA 4 enclosure and IP66 ingress protection requirements, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.
Maintenance benefits come from a long service life, corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction, and a straightforward through-feed design that reduces field wiring time. ROI is improved through energy efficiency at 32 W per fixture, emergency back-up capability for safety compliance, and fewer re-lamping cycles due to robust, high-visibility illumination in harsh locations.
