Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this fixture use CREE LEDs specifically?

CREE XP-G2 LEDs offer a verified lm/W performance that has been independently tested and published. For explosion-proof applications where maintenance access is costly, a confirmed LED pedigree reduces long-term lumen depreciation risk — critical in installations where re-certification is required after any component change.

What beam angle is available?

The VL-EXS8234B-XXX is available with 60°, 90°, and 120° beam angles (specify at order). The 90° angle is standard for area floodlighting; 60° is used for long-throw downlighting in tall-ceiling installations.

Is this fixture rated for outdoor use?

Yes. IP66 rating makes the VL-EXS8234B-XXX suitable for direct outdoor exposure including rain, dust storms, and offshore salt spray environments.
