Larson Electronics: Improved Design of a Paint Spray Booth Rated LED Light Fixture

The EPL-48-2L-LED explosion proof LED light fixture from Larson Electronics is ideal for operators seeking top-quality lighting that will reduce operating costs, improve lighting quality, and reduce downtime incurred from frequent servicing intervals.

This fixture is equipped with the company’s specially designed LEDT-series bulbs which produce 7,000 lumens, resulting in 30 percent more foot candles of illumination at eight feet as compared to standard T8 lamps when measured with an Extech light meter. These 28-watt LED lamps produce 125 lumens per watt and offer lower amp draw and increased reliability.

The LED assembly is mounted within the tube constructed from extruded aluminum and a polycarbonate lens. The solid-state design of light emitting diodes provides a more reliable, stable, and energy efficient light source over traditional fluorescent lighting.

This fixture carries a T6 temperature rating and is approved for Class 1 Division 1 Groups C and D, Class 1 Division 2 Groups A, B, C, and D environments where flammable or combustible gases, vapors, dusts, fibers, and flying exist or stand the potential to exist.

This unit is universal voltage and operates on any voltage ranging from 120 volts AC to 277 volts AC.

These fixtures are standard surface mounted via two swivel brackets. Each bracket is cinched to the bracket mounting peg on each side of the light. The angle of the bracket is set by tightening two cap screws on either side of the bracket. The cap screws act as a set screw. The bracket is mounted via a single bolt hole at the top of the bracket. Once the brackets are mounted to a surface, the light fixture can be removed from the bracket by loosening the cap screws that hold the bracket to the mounting peg.

“We have equipped this popular fixture with our second generation LED tube lamps which have increased this lights performance,” said Rob Bresnahan with Larsonelectronics.com. “These high efficiency 28 watt lamps now produce 125 lumens per watt and offer a DLC listing.”
