Eaton SPS42870EM1LZ Linear Fluorescent Light Fixture - IP66
Part Number: SPS42870EM1LZ
Quick Summary
Eaton SPS42870EM1LZ is a hazardous-area linear fluorescent light fixture designed for harsh industrial environments. Facilities operating in washdown zones, chemical plants, or offshore locations need luminaires that resist moisture, dust, and corrosive elements without frequent maintenance. This fixture meets IP66 protection, NEMA 4 enclosure, and NEC/CEC hazardous-location standards (Class I, Division 2; Class II, Division 2; Class III), ensuring compliant operation where safety and reliability matter most. Built in 316 stainless steel with a matte polycarbonate lens, it withstands corrosion while delivering clear, long-life illumination. Through-feed wiring, 120–277 Vac operation, and a 4 ft two-lamp configuration provide flexible integration, reducing installation time and lifecycle costs for regulated facilities.

Eaton Specification Sheet - SPS42870EM1LZ
316 stainless steel construction delivers superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments, extending fixture life and lowering replacement costs for chemical plants and marine facilities. The result is fewer maintenance calls and longer maintenance intervals, translating to lower total cost of ownership. IP66 protection and a NEMA 4 enclosure safeguard against water ingress and dust in washdown zones, supporting compliant operation in offshore platforms and food/beverage processing plants where cleanliness is critical. With a 48W, 4 ft two-lamp T12HO RDC configuration and a broad 120–277 Vac, 50/60 Hz supply, the unit supports flexible system design and faster commissioning across mixed electrical environments, reducing project lead times. Through-feed wiring and two hubs enable simpler, scalable installations in retrofit and new-build projects. The emergency battery back-up ballast enhances safety-critical lighting, minimizing downtime during power outages and easing regulatory compliance for egress lighting.
