Certified Explosion Protection and Rugged Design
This lamp is certified with an Ex d IIC T6 explosion-proof rating and built to meet GB3836.1 / GB3836.2 executive safety standards. It’s engineered for use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 gas environments, as well as Zone 21 and 22 dust areas. The enclosure features anti-corrosion grade WF2, ensuring excellent resistance against harsh chemicals, salt spray, and industrial contaminants.
Its IP66-rated housing guarantees complete protection against dust ingress and high-pressure water jets, providing long-lasting durability in both indoor and outdoor hazardous areas.
Energy-Efficient LED Illumination with Advanced Optics
Powered by 80 high-performance CREE3030 LEDs, the VL-EXT8231-XX delivers up to 120 lumens per watt, significantly reducing energy consumption without compromising brightness. This explosion-proof lamp supports multiple lighting angles—including 20°, 60°, and 90°—providing targeted illumination that adapts to the specific needs of your environment.
With a Color Rendering Index (CRI) ≥70 Ra and correlated color temperature range of 3000K–6500K, it offers natural, accurate lighting that enhances visibility and safety for workers operating in high-risk areas.
Reliable Performance in Extreme Conditions
Built to withstand the most challenging industrial conditions, this explosion-proof lamp with lens operates reliably within a wide temperature range of -30°C to 50°C (-22°F to 122°F). The LEDs have an extra-long operating life of 100,000 hours, reducing maintenance frequency and minimizing downtime.
Its start-up time of ≤0.2 seconds ensures instant lighting with no delay—critical for emergency and safety applications.
Electrical Efficiency and Safe Operation
The VL-EXT8231-XX supports a rated voltage of AC100–220V and operates at 50/60 Hz, making it compatible with global power standards. It maintains a power factor of >0.95 PF, ensuring excellent energy efficiency and low harmonic distortion. With a power range of 50–90W, it balances performance and power draw for cost-effective operation in demanding settings.
