Larson Electronics 25W Explosion Proof LED Light, C2D1 & C1D2, 120-277V, 3,750 lms, Ceiling Mount, Mason Jar / Jelly Jar EPLC2-MJ-25W-LED-1227-CM

The EPLC2-MJ-25W-LED-1227-CM from Larson Electronics is an Explosion Proof LED Light Fixture that provides operators with a powerful alternative to traditional hazardous location luminaries, including metal halide, high pressure sodium, mercury vapor, halogen, CFL and incandescent lamps. This 25-watt LED unit offers 3,750 lumens, carries an IP67 waterproof rating and features an extended lifespan of 75,000+ hours. Compatible with ceiling mount installations, the mason jar style fixture is field serviceable and features pyramid light distribution that closely resembles traditional bulbs.

The EPLC2-MJ-25W-LED-1227-CM is a Class I, Division 2 and Class II, Division 1 explosion proof light fixture that is designed for energy efficient and superior illumination in combustible environments that contain dust, fibers, and flyings. This 25-watt mason jar style fixture offers 3,750 lumens of high quality light with a color temperature of 5000K. We also offer 4500K, 4000K, 3500K, and 3000K color temperature options (longer lead times may apply for non-standard temperatures). This compact fixture is a suitable replacement for metal halide, high pressure sodium, mercury vapor, halogen, CFL and incandescent lights. The LED unit features a pyramid configuration to ensure complete light distribution that closely represents light output of traditional bulbs (unlike other LED lights that utilize a flat board causing light to be pushed directly downwards). This solution promotes vertical lighting and reduces the limitations associated with directional lighting. We can add a metal reflector at an additional cost.

This lighting solution for explosive sites is IP67 rated, dust-proof, and protected against high pressure jets and temporary submersion. The non-sparking housing is specially designed to dissipate heat which increases the efficiency and lifespan of the LEDs and electronic components.

LED Benefits: Unlike gas burning and arc type lamps that have glass bulbs, LEDs have no filaments or fragile housings to break during operation and/or transportation. Instead of heating a small filament or using a combination of gases to produce light, light emitting diodes (LEDs) use semi-conductive materials that illuminate when electric current is applied, providing instant illumination with no warm up or cool down time before re-striking. Because there is no warm up period, this light can be cycled on and off with no reduction in lamp life.

LED lights run at significantly cooler temperatures than traditional metal halide and high pressure sodium lights and contain no harmful gases, vapors, or mercury, making them both safer and more energy efficient. No extra energy is wasted in cooling enclosed work areas due to external heat emissions from bulb type lights, and the operator risks associated with traditional lighting methods, such as accidental burns and exposure to hazardous substances contained in the glass bulbs, are eliminated. In addition, LEDs are also safer for the environment as they are 100% recyclable, which eliminates the need for costly special disposal services required with traditional gas burning and arc type lamps.

LED Drivers: Even in LED fixtures, heat is the single largest factor in premature light failure and color shifting. As a result, many manufacturers reduce the output of their LEDs in order to reduce the amount of heat produced. Rather than lower light output or quality, Larson Electronics addresses this problem with the addition of an electronic LED driver. This internal driver provides the ability to automatically monitor and adjust input current to maintain the correct LED voltage levels regardless of input levels across a specific range. This not only reduces the energy dissipation, effectively lowering the operating temperature of the fixture, but also prevents AC over-voltage and short circuit loading making this fixture virtually maintenance free. Because the electronic driver allows the EPLC2-MJ-25W-LED-1227-CM to run at a cooler internal temperature and regulates the electrical current, energy efficiency and LED service hours are maximized while at the same time reducing operating costs and downtime incurred from the frequent servicing intervals required with other hotter running lights.

Field Serviceability: This explosion proof LED light fixture is field serviceable. All major internal components can be purchased from Larson Electronics and installed by a licensed electrician with basic tools. With most explosion proof fixtures, the fixture must be returned to the manufacturer for repair work, which presents downtime and long turn around times for repair work. Larson Electronics addresses this issue with the EPL-MJ series with field serviceability, allowing operators to perform service work without having to return the fixture to the manufacturer in the event of damage or failure.

Voltage: The light is universal voltage capable and can be operated with 120-277V AC, 50/60Hz.

Mount: This explosion proof mason jar style LED light fixture comes standard with ceiling mounting features. Several mounting options including wall, pendant, angled wall, angled stanchion and top hat/pan adapter mounts for replacing existing light fixtures can be ordered separately.

Suggested Applications: Hazardous locations, aircraft maintenance, oil drilling rigs, refineries, solvent and cleaning areas, chemical manufacturing, waste treatment plants, gas processing plants and more.
