The Block Series is a high-performance explosion-proof LED lighting solution engineered for hazardous industrial environments where flammable gases, vapors, and combustible dusts are present. With a luminous efficacy of 150 lumens per watt, it delivers superior illumination while maintaining energy efficiency. Its rugged design and robust construction make it ideally suited for oil and gas platforms, petrochemical facilities, metal processing plants, power generation stations, and water or wastewater treatment sites—especially those with harsh conditions including corrosion, vibration, dust, moisture, and temperature extremes.
Certified for use in some of the most demanding environments, the Block Series meets rigorous standards including Class I Division 2 (Groups A, B, C, D), Class II Division 2 (Groups F, G), Class III, and Class I, Zone 2 (Group IIC) along with Zone 22 (Group IIIB) classifications. It is also certified for simultaneous presence of hazardous substances and carries approvals such as UL844, UL1598, UL1598A, CSA C22.2 standards, and DLC qualification. Built for outdoor and marine conditions, it holds UL1598A certification for marine outside type (salt water), is IP66 rated for water and dust protection, and carries an IK09 impact rating for mechanical durability.
Engineered to perform in extreme ambient temperatures ranging from -40°F to +140°F (-40°C to +60°C), the Block Series incorporates a self-contained LED and driver compartment with external airflow fins for enhanced thermal management. Its T4A temperature rating under both CID2 and CIID2 standards further underscores its reliability in high-heat environments. The fixture's lifespan is rated at an impressive 121,000 hours (L70 at 140°F), significantly reducing maintenance and replacement costs over time.
Constructed from die-cast, copper-free aluminum with a stainless steel 316 hardware assembly and tempered glass lens, the Block Series ensures long-term resistance to corrosion and physical wear. It includes three optical beam angle options—25°, 60°, and 120°—to suit a wide range of area, flood, and high/low bay lighting needs, from narrow spotlighting to wide-area illumination.
Power options include 80W, 100W, 120W, and 150W models, with corresponding lumen outputs of 12,320 lm, 14,162 lm, 17,680 lm, and 21,227 lm respectively. Voltage input ranges from 100-277V AC and 347-480V AC at 50/60Hz, with a power factor of ≥0.90 and total harmonic distortion (THD) of less than 20%. Dimming is supported via a 0-10V interface, enabling a range from 10% to full brightness for further energy optimization. Each fixture includes 6kV built-in surge protection and supports supply wires rated to 90°C (12-18 AWG).
Available in color temperatures of 3000K, 4000K, and 5000K with a color rendering index (CRI) of Ra>70, the Block Series provides versatile white light solutions tailored to site needs. Vibration resistance is rated to 1.5G per ANSI C136.31, and mounting options include pendant, yoke, and stanchion configurations. The EPA wind ratings are 1.715 ft² for yoke mounting and 1.735 ft² for stanchion mounting, ensuring stability in high-wind installations.
Backed by an industry-leading 10-year warranty and factory replacement support from Red Sky Lighting, the Block Series is a dependable, high-performance lighting solution for challenging hazardous-area applications demanding safety, longevity, and efficiency.
