Larson Electronics C1D1 Explosion Proof High Bay LED Fixture w/ Emergency Battery Backup - Paint Spray Booth Approved EPL-EMG-LB-50LED-RT

The Larson Electronics EPL-EMG-LB-50LED-RT Explosion Proof High Bay LED Fixture with Emergency Backup provides operators with a powerful and energy efficient alternative to traditional hazardous location luminaries. LED technology and compact design makes this lamp an excellent replacement upgrade option for bulky and high maintenance cost older incandescent, metal halide and high pressure sodium lights. This unit is equipped with a pendant mount, which is suitable for ceiling, wall and surface mounting applications. In emergency mode, the LED lamp will continue to operate at a lower light intensity level for 90 minutes via a remote battery.

This Class I Division 1 & 2, Class II Division 1 & 2 explosion proof light fixture provides 7,000 lumens of high quality light while drawing only 50 watts. The copper free aluminum alloy body is powder coated for added durability and an attractive aesthetic appearance. Special heat dissipating design in conjunction with LED technology helps this fixture to achieve an excellent 60,000 hour rated lifespan with 80% lumen retention. Light weight and a low profile make this unit an attractive alternative to larger and heavier older fixtures and requires less hardware to install.

The LED fixture produces 7,000 lumens with a color temperature of 5600K and a color rendering index of 75 which produces colors and details much more accurately than high pressure sodium or mercury vapor luminaries. We also offer a 3000K warm white and 4500K natural white color temperature options (longer lead times may apply for non-standard temperatures).

This light is universal voltage capable and can be operated with 100-277V AC, 50/60Hz. We also offer a low voltage version of this LED fixture that operates on AC/DC voltages from 11-25V. This explosion proof LED light fixture is IP67 rated, dust-proof, and protected against high pressure jets and temporary submersion. The cast aluminum body and LED lamp give this light excellent durability and resistance to vibration and impacts. The housing is specially designed to dissipate heat which increases the efficiency and lifespan of the LEDs and electronics.

The emergency LED light works, mounts and is wired like our EPL-LB-50LED-RT LED light fixtures. The main difference is that we add a remote mounted battery backup unit that adds emergency light functionality to the fixture. This emergency LED light will run at the standard UL suggested 90 minutes after power is lost. The light recharges the battery once electrical power is restored. Standard configuration includes a single emergency battery backup that is automatically recharged and kept in a ready state.

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 EPL-EMG-LB-50LED-RT 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.

Wiring: The EPL-EMG-LB-50LED-RT explosion proof high bay LED light fixture is equipped with 10 feet of abrasion and chemical resistant 16/3 SOOW cable with flying leads. The LED light fixture features a single 3/4" NPT threaded ports for running conduit depending on the installation location.

Mounting: The EPL-EMG-LB-50LED-RT offersÊa pendant mounting system, equipped with four bolts and a wiring junction box. This mounting feature caters to ceiling and flat surface mounting preferences.

Applications: Elevated lighting systems, flammable work sites, warehouses, hazardous locations, manufacturing plants, chemical processing, woodshops, grain storage centers, agricultural sites and more.
