VL-EXL8230-XX Explosion-Proof Compact LED Light for Hazardous Environments
The VL-EXL8230-XX Explosion-Proof Compact LED Light is a high-efficiency lighting solution engineered for hazardous environments where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts are present. Featuring a compact, lightweight design and built with industrial-grade durability, this fixture delivers reliable, energy-efficient illumination in confined or medium-sized hazardous locations. Designed with premium CREE3030 LEDs and IP66 protection, it ensures consistent operation in the most demanding industrial settings.
Certified for Explosion-Prone Zones
Engineered for safety, the VL-EXL8230-XX carries an Ex d IIC T6 W explosion-proof rating, fully compliant with GB3836.1 and GB3836.2 executive standards. This rating certifies its safe use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 gas environments, as well as Zone 21 and 22 for dust-laden areas. With its IP66-rated housing, the fixture offers total protection against dust ingress and powerful water jets, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. The WF2 anti-corrosion grade further ensures dependable performance in chemically aggressive or marine applications.
Efficient LED Lighting with Smart Performance
At its core, the VL-EXL8230-XX integrates 45 high-performance CREE3030 LEDs that generate an impressive 120 lumens per watt. This level of efficacy enables lower energy consumption without sacrificing brightness. The light supports a wide 110° beam angle, offering broad illumination that reduces the need for multiple fixtures in moderately sized areas. Whether you’re lighting up a corridor, a valve station, or an enclosed pump room, this explosion-proof LED ensures consistent, flicker-free illumination with a Color Rendering Index (CRI) ≥70 Ra, helping operators clearly see details in industrial work zones. Its color temperature range of 3000K–6500K allows for adaptable lighting in different environments—from warm ambient to daylight-white tones.
Durable Build with Long Operating Life
The VL-EXL8230-XX is designed for longevity and performance in harsh conditions. It can operate efficiently in ambient temperatures ranging from -30°C to 50°C (-22°F to 122°F) and is rated for a 100,000-hour LED lifespan, minimizing maintenance and replacement costs over time. With a power factor >0.95, this lamp delivers reliable, steady output while reducing energy waste.
Start-up is virtually instant, with a response time of ≤0.2 seconds, providing immediate lighting without flicker, crucial for safety in hazardous zones. Its robust aluminum alloy housing resists mechanical impact, corrosion, and vibration, making it a dependable lighting option for tough industrial operations.
Compact Size, Light Weight, and Flexible Installation
Designed for space-limited areas or modular setups, the VL-EXL8230-XX measures just 180 × 211 mm (7 × 8.3 in) and weighs only 2.8 kg (6.17 lbs.), making installation quick and easy, even in overhead or hard-to-reach places. Its compact form factor allows it to be installed in control cabinets, substation rooms, walkways, and machinery compartments without interfering with other equipment.
