VL-EXL8230-XX Explosion Proof LED Light for Demanding Hazardous Environments
When you’re lighting a hazardous location, there’s no room for compromise. The VL-EXL8230-XX Explosion Proof LED Light is designed specifically for environments where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dust may be present. It combines certified explosion-proof protection with dependable LED performance, giving industrial facilities a lighting solution they can trust day after day.
From oil refineries to offshore platforms, this fixture is built to perform in places where standard lighting simply won’t survive.
Built for Safety in Explosive Atmospheres
Safety always comes first in hazardous areas. The VL-EXL8230-XX carries an ExdIICT6 explosion-proof rating, meaning it’s engineered to prevent internal sparks or heat from igniting surrounding gases. This makes it suitable for demanding industrial zones where volatile substances may be present.
Its IP66 protection grade ensures complete protection against dust and powerful water jets, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor installations. On top of that, the WF2 anti-corrosion rating helps the fixture withstand harsh chemical exposure, salt air, and humid marine environments.
Whether installed in a petrochemical plant or a coastal fuel terminal, this light is designed to keep working safely under tough conditions.
Powerful, Efficient Illumination with Cree LEDs
At the heart of the VL-EXL8230-XX is a high-quality Cree LED light source, known for reliability and consistent performance. Delivering 120 lumens per watt, this fixture provides bright, energy-efficient lighting that reduces operational costs without sacrificing visibility.
Key performance highlights include:
-
Input Voltage: AC 100–270V for flexible installation worldwide
-
Power Factor: >0.95 for efficient electrical performance
-
CRI: Ra >75 for accurate color rendering and improved visual clarity
-
Beam Angle: 111.1° for wide, even light distribution
The broad 111.1° beam angle ensures excellent area coverage, reducing shadows and dark spots in workspaces. Clear, uniform lighting improves worker safety and productivity, especially in environments where visibility is critical.
Compact Design, Heavy-Duty Construction
Industrial lighting needs to be tough, but it doesn’t have to be bulky. The VL-EXL8230-XX features a compact footprint measuring 180 x 148 mm (7 x 5.8 inches), making it easy to install even in tight or confined spaces.
Despite its smaller size, it’s built for durability:
-
Net Weight: 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs)
-
Gross Weight: 3.6 kg (8 lbs)
The housing is engineered to resist vibration, impact, and environmental stress. It’s designed to handle temperature fluctuations, moisture, and corrosive atmospheres without degrading over time. This means fewer replacements, less downtime, and lower maintenance costs.
Ideal for Industrial and Marine Applications
The VL-EXL8230-XX Explosion Proof LED Light is purpose-built for high-risk and high-demand industries, including:
-
Oil and gas facilities
-
Chemical and petrochemical plants
-
Offshore drilling platforms
-
Marine docks and shipyards
-
Fuel storage terminals
-
Manufacturing plants with hazardous zones
In these environments, equipment failure isn’t just inconvenient, it can be dangerous. That’s why this fixture is engineered to deliver consistent, safe illumination in some of the toughest conditions imaginable.
Energy Savings That Make Sense
Switching to LED lighting is more than just an upgrade—it’s a long-term investment. With 120 lm/W efficiency and a power factor above 0.95, the VL-EXL8230-XX helps reduce energy consumption and improve overall electrical performance.
Compared to traditional HID or fluorescent fixtures, LED technology offers:
-
Lower energy costs
-
Reduced heat output
-
Longer service life
-
Minimal maintenance requirements
Over time, this translates into real savings and improved operational efficiency.
