Larson Electronics has announced the release of an improved explosion-proof LED light fixture that is Class 1 and Class 2 Division 1 approved for use in manufacturing and coating applications because of its T6 temperature rating and paint spraybooth certification.

The EPL-48-2L-LED-20C-EPP explosion-proof LED light fixture is ideal for operators seeking top-quality lighting that will reduce operating costs, improve lighting quality and reduce downtime incurred from frequent servicing intervals. This fixture is equipped with specially designed LEDT-series bulbs, which produce 7,000 lumens, resulting in 30 percent more foot candles of illumination at eight feet, as compared to standard T8 lamps when measured with an Extech light meter. These 28-watt LED lamps produce 125 lumens per watt and offer lower amp draw and increased reliability. The LED assembly is mounted within the tube, constructed from extruded aluminum and a polycarbonate lens. The solid-state design of light-emitting diodes provides a more reliable, stable and energy efficient light source over traditional fluorescent lighting.

This fixture carries a T6 temperature rating and is approved for Class 1 Division 1 Groups C and D, Class 1 Division 2 Groups A, B, C and D environments where flammable or combustible gases, vapors, dusts, fibers and flying exist or stand the potential to exist. This unit has universal voltage and operates on any voltage ranging from 120 volts AC to 277 volts AC. It has been equipped with a 20-foot cord terminated in an optional explosion-proof plug for easy connection to power outlets. These fixtures are standard surface mounted via two swivel brackets that are cinched to a bracket-mounting peg on each side of the light. Once the brackets are mounted to a surface, the light fixture can be removed from the bracket by loosening the cap screws that hold the bracket to the mounting peg.
