How It Compares to Metal Halide

When upgrading from metal halide systems, this LED fixture provides immediate operational advantages. For facilities that require reliable lighting in hazardous locations, the 70-watt LED replaces 250-watt metal halide fixtures while delivering comparable illumination levels. Unlike traditional lighting options that require warm-up time and frequent relamping, this LED provides instant full brightness and eliminates the maintenance cycles associated with metal halide systems. Additionally, the fixture operates at significantly lower temperatures, reducing heat-related safety concerns in volatile environments.

Major Benefits

Energy Savings

Operators who need dependable lighting will appreciate the substantial energy reduction this fixture provides. By comparison to 250-watt metal halide systems, the 70-watt LED consumption represents a 72% reduction in electrical usage. From a cost standpoint, facilities typically see immediate utility bill improvements, while the high power factor above 0.90 and low harmonic distortion under 10% help maintain electrical system efficiency across the facility.

Light Output & Visibility

Built with 5000K daylight color temperature and 70+ CRI rating, this fixture ensures dependable operation in demanding visual environments. The 120-degree beam angle with tempered glass lens optics provides uniform light distribution across work areas. In real-world use, the consistent 9800 lumen output improves visibility for detailed tasks while the dimming capability allows operators to adjust light levels based on specific operational requirements.

Operating Stability

What makes this fixture valuable for buyers is its ability to perform reliably across extreme temperature ranges from -40°F to 149°F. The powder coated aluminum construction withstands harsh industrial conditions, while the IP66 rating protects against water ingress and the IK10 impact rating ensures durability against mechanical damage. Equally important, the 10kV surge protection prevents electrical damage that could compromise safety in hazardous environments.

Installation Considerations

For most installations, the fixture's compact 13.7-inch height and 11.2-inch diameter profile fits existing explosion proof mounting locations. On the installation side, the 20-pound weight and multiple mounting options provide flexibility for retrofit applications. The wide 100-277V input voltage and 50-60Hz frequency compatibility accommodate various electrical systems without requiring additional transformers. Performance-wise, the fixture includes no cord, allowing for direct conduit connections that maintain hazardous location integrity.
