VL-EXLG-8234-XXX Explosion-Proof Long Hanging Light (100W–150W)
The Veilux VL-EXLG-8234-XXX is a high-output explosion-proof hanging light delivering 100W to 150W of certified illumination for Class I Division 1, Division 2, ATEX Zone 1, and Zone 2 hazardous areas. Its elongated pendant housing provides a larger optical aperture than compact floodlight designs — distributing light evenly over wider work surfaces and tall-ceiling process areas in oil and gas refineries, offshore platforms, and chemical manufacturing facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What ceiling height is the VL-EXLG-8234-XXX designed for?
The long pendant form factor is optimized for 8–15m (25–50ft) ceiling heights, where the elongated optical design maintains acceptable uniformity across a 6–10m diameter illuminated circle at floor level.
How does this differ from the VL-EXS8234B compact floodlight?
The VL-EXLG-8234-XXX uses a longer housing that improves light distribution uniformity for hanging / downlighting installations. The VL-EXS8234B compact model is optimized for wall mount or yoke bracket installations where a shorter housing is preferable.
