Its WF2 anti-corrosion grade makes it an excellent choice for offshore platforms, coastal refineries, and other chemically aggressive environments.
High-Efficiency Illumination with Long LED Lifespan
At the heart of the VL-EX8199-XXX is a powerful LED array composed of 120 CREE3030 LEDs, offering a luminous efficiency of 120 lumens per watt. This high-performance output ensures optimal brightness while keeping energy consumption low, resulting in long-term cost savings.
The luminaire supports a power input range of 80W to 100W, with a power factor greater than 0.95, ensuring stable performance and minimal power loss. With a start-up time of less than 0.2 seconds, this light delivers instant illumination with no flicker or delay, ideal for emergency conditions or operational safety.
Additional optical specifications include:
-
Lighting Angle: Wide 120° beam for broad coverage
-
Correlated Color Temperature (CCT): Adjustable from 3000K (warm white) to 6500K (cool daylight)
-
Color Rendering Index (CRI): ≥70 Ra, delivering accurate color reproduction even in industrial settings
-
LED Lifespan: Rated for 100,000 hours of continuous operation
Rugged Build for Extreme Operating Conditions
