VL-EX8191 Explosion-Proof Emergency Sign Light for Hazardous Environments
The VL-EX8191 Explosion-Proof Emergency Sign Light is purpose-built to deliver reliable, high-visibility signage in hazardous environments where explosive gases, vapors, or combustible dusts are present. Designed to meet rigorous industrial safety standards, this LED-based emergency sign offers robust performance with long-lasting illumination, low maintenance, and durable construction. Engineered with an IP66 protection rating, intelligent circuitry, and high energy efficiency, the VL-EX8191 ensures operational safety and compliance in mission-critical areas.
Certified Protection for Hazardous Zones
Rated Ex d e IIC T6 for explosion protection and compliant with GB3836.1 / GB3836.2 standards, the VL-EX8191 is suitable for Zone 1 and Zone 2 gas environments and Zone 21 and 22 dust areas. Whether in oil refineries, chemical plants, or flammable storage facilities, this emergency sign light provides clearly visible exit or directional guidance under the most demanding conditions.
Its anti-corrosion grade WF2 ensures the housing can withstand exposure to harsh chemicals, salt spray, and high-humidity industrial atmospheres, perfect for both indoor and partially exposed locations. The enclosure offers IP66 ingress protection, safeguarding internal electronics from dust, moisture, and heavy jets of water.
Bright, Energy-Efficient LED Illumination
At the core of the VL-EX8191 is a high-efficiency LED light source delivering 120 lumens per watt, ensuring maximum visibility with minimal power consumption. The fixture includes two 1W LED modules and a total of six LED chips, configured to provide even, glare-free backlighting for signage.
Operating with a correlated color temperature of 3000K–6500K, it allows flexibility in visual tone, from warm white to daylight, ensuring clarity across different lighting conditions. The color rendering index (CRI) of ≥70 Ra ensures high legibility, particularly important for life-saving emergency exit instructions.
Long Lifespan and Instant Activation
Designed for uninterrupted performance, the VL-EX8191 has a LED lifespan of up to 100,000 hours, drastically reducing the need for frequent maintenance in hard-to-access or hazardous locations. The fixture activates almost instantaneously with a start-up time of ≤0.2 seconds, which is critical during power failures or emergency scenarios when rapid response is required.
Thanks to its power factor of >0.95 PF, the VL-EX8191 operates with high electrical efficiency, minimizing energy losses and reducing stress on facility power systems.
Durable Build with Intelligent Circuitry
Built for durability and smart performance, this explosion-proof emergency sign light incorporates an intelligent protection circuit that defends against over-voltage, over-current, and short-circuit conditions. Its advanced electronics ensure stable operation, even during power fluctuations common in industrial and offshore installations.
Weighing 2.8 kg (6.2 lbs.) and with dimensions of 350 x 193 x 79 mm (13.8″ x 7.6″ x 3.1″), the fixture offers a compact form that’s easy to mount above doors, in hallways, tunnels, or evacuation routes, without obstructing movement or operations.
Built to Perform in Extreme Temperatures
The VL-EX8191 is designed to function reliably in a wide range of ambient conditions, from -30°C to 50°C (-22°F to 122°F). This wide operating temperature range makes it ideal for both cold storage environments and high-heat facilities such as boiler rooms or processing areas.
Its AC100–220V input and 50/60Hz frequency compatibility ensure seamless integration into electrical systems worldwide.
