Efficient, Wide-Angle LED Illumination
Fitted with 180 ultra-bright LEDs using the industry-leading CREE3030 platform, the VL-EXOM8260-XXX produces powerful and uniform lighting with a 120 lm/W efficiency rating. The fixture supports 100–200W power consumption and emits light at a wide 100° angle, making it ideal for illuminating large industrial areas, corridors, and open workspaces.
The correlated color temperature range of 3000–6500K allows for both warm and cool white lighting options, while the color rendering index (CRI) ≥70 Ra ensures accurate visibility of equipment, labels, and safety signage.
Long-Term Performance in Harsh Conditions
This oval LED fixture is engineered for longevity and reliability, with a 100,000-hour LED operating life and a start-up time ≤0.2 seconds for immediate response during power fluctuations or emergency events.
Operating seamlessly in extreme temperatures from -30°C to 50°C (-22°F to 122°F), the VL-EXOM8260-XXX maintains high performance in freezing, humid, or hot climates. The power factor >0.95 PF further ensures stable and efficient energy usage, minimizing power loss and extending system life in demanding electrical environments.
Durable, Space-Saving Oval Design
Despite its high lumen output, the VL-EXOM8260-XXX features a compact oval form factor for flexible installation. With a size of 276 × 590 × 95 mm (10.9″ × 23.2″ × 3.7″) and a weight of 7.5 kg (16.5 lbs.), it is suitable for wall, ceiling, or overhead mounting in confined or structured spaces.
The sealed and corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy housing keeps internal components protected from moisture, dust, and corrosive elements, ideal for harsh environments such as offshore rigs or chemical storage areas.
Designed for Hazardous Industrial Applications
Built to meet the rigorous demands of high-risk industries, the VL-EXOM8260-XXX Explosion-Proof Oval LED Light is the optimal choice for:
Oil refineries and gas pipelines
LNG terminals and petrochemical facilities
Offshore drilling platforms
