VL-EXLM8260-XXX High-Performance Explosion-Proof Linear LED Light for Hazardous Locations

Explosion-proof for Hazardous Locations

The VL-EXLM8260-XXX Explosion-Proof Linear LED Light is engineered to deliver powerful, wide-beam illumination in high-risk industrial areas where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts are present. Designed with cutting-edge CREE3030 LEDs and certified to the Exd IIC T6 explosion protection standard, this fixture is ideal for maximizing visibility while maintaining safety compliance in challenging environments such as refineries, offshore rigs, chemical plants, and grain handling facilities.

Certified Safety for Explosive Environments

Safety is paramount in volatile settings, and the VL-EXLM8260-XXX meets the highest international safety benchmarks. With an Exd IIC T6 explosion-proof rating and compliance with GB3836.1 / GB3836.2 standards, this linear LED light is fully certified for use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 gas environments, as well as Zone 21 and 22 dust zones.

Its housing is engineered to resist impact, chemicals, and harsh weather conditions. The IP66 protection level ensures complete resistance to dust and high-pressure water jets, while the WF2 anti-corrosion rating guarantees long-term durability even in salt-laden or chemically aggressive environments.

High-Efficiency Illumination for Large Areas

Equipped with 180 high-output CREE3030 LEDs, the VL-EXLM8260-XXX delivers exceptional light efficiency of up to 250 lumens per watt, providing bright and uniform coverage across wide spaces. With a power range of 160–250W and a 120° lighting angle, it ensures comprehensive area lighting with minimal energy consumption.

The fixture supports a correlated color temperature between 3000K and 6500K, offering both warm and cool lighting options tailored to your operational needs. A color rendering index (CRI) of ≥70 Ra provides accurate visibility of equipment, labels, and personnel, essential for safety and productivity in critical work zones.

Built for Long-Term Performance in Tough Conditions

Designed to endure the most extreme industrial settings, the VL-EXLM8260-XXX operates reliably in ambient temperatures from -30°C to 50°C (-22°F to 122°F). It features a fast start-up time of ≤0.2 seconds, ensuring immediate light without flicker or delay during power cycles or emergency responses.

This light fixture boasts a rated LED lifespan of 100,000 hours, significantly reducing maintenance needs and downtime. It also features a power factor >0.95 PF, optimizing energy usage and ensuring stable electrical performance in sensitive circuits.

Slim, Strong Design for Industrial Integration

Despite its high output, the VL-EXLM8260-XXX features a compact, linear design for space-saving installation in industrial structures. Weighing 9.4 kg (20.7 lbs.) and measuring 315 x 690 x 95 mm (12.4″ x 27.2″ x 3.7″), it mounts easily to ceilings, walls, or structural frames without disrupting facility layouts.

Its enclosed design resists dust and corrosive buildup, and the robust LED configuration eliminates the need for traditional tube maintenance or ballast replacement, making it ideal for continuous-use environments.

Ideal Applications for Hazard-Prone Sites

Built for extreme environments and rigorous demands, the VL-EXLM8260-XXX Explosion-Proof Linear LED Light is suited for:

• Oil and gas refineries

• Offshore drilling platforms
