VL-EX8233H-XXX Compact Explosion-Proof Bay Light (50W–90W)
The VL-EX8233H-XXX is a compact explosion-proof LED high-bay light engineered for medium-height industrial installations in Class I Division 1 and Division 2 hazardous locations. Its compact form factor makes it suitable for lower ceiling heights (4–8 meters) where standard high-bay fixtures are oversized, while still delivering the high-lumen output required for safe working illuminance in classified areas.
