How It Compares to Metal Halide

When upgrading from metal halide systems, this LED fixture eliminates the warm-up time and restrike delays that plague traditional technology. Unlike 250-watt metal halide fixtures that require extensive maintenance and frequent lamp replacements, this 50-watt LED solution operates at one-fifth the power consumption while providing immediate full-brightness startup. The 5000K color temperature and 70+ CRI ensure superior visibility compared to degrading metal halide lamps, while the 50,000-hour lifespan dramatically reduces the safety risks associated with fixture maintenance in hazardous locations.

Major Benefits

Energy Savings

For facilities that require continuous lighting in hazardous areas, the 50-watt power draw represents an 80% reduction compared to equivalent metal halide systems. With a power factor greater than 0.95 and THD below 10%, this fixture optimizes energy use with minimal electrical system impact. The 100-277V input voltage accommodates most industrial electrical systems, while the optional 277-480V configuration supports high-voltage applications without additional transformers.

Light Output & Visibility

The 7000-lumen output through a 120-degree beam angle provides comprehensive area coverage essential for safety in hazardous environments. Additionally, the tempered glass lens system maintains consistent light distribution while protecting against impact damage up to IK10 standards. The 5000K daylight color temperature improves visibility by delivering crisp, clear illumination that enhances worker safety and operational efficiency in critical industrial applications.

Operating Stability

Engineered for high performance in extreme conditions, the copper-free aluminum construction ensures dependable operation across temperature ranges that would compromise lesser fixtures. In real-world use, the IP66 rating provides complete protection against dust ingress and powerful water jets, while the explosion-proof design meets the most stringent safety requirements for volatile environments. From a safety perspective, the instant-on capability eliminates the dangerous dark periods associated with metal halide restrike cycles.

Installation Considerations

At 20 pounds and measuring 24 x 5.5 x 8.1 inches, this linear fixture provides compact installation flexibility while maintaining robust construction standards. The dual mounting options-yoke mount for surface installations or 3/4 inch NPT pendant for suspended applications-accommodate various facility layouts and height requirements. In practice, the 50-60Hz frequency compatibility and wide voltage range simplify integration into existing electrical systems, while the 1-10V dimming capability allows for integration with modern building automation systems where permitted in classified locations.
