The CEAG PXLED series from Eaton's Crouse-Hinds Division offers a compact, modular LED floodlight solution engineered for a wide range of lighting applications in hazardous environments. Certified for use in IEC Zones 1, 21, 2, and 22, the PXLED floodlights provide exceptional reliability with a rated lifespan of 100,000 hours at 25°C, ensuring long-term performance and durability. The product range includes six models with light outputs varying from 5,000 to 32,000 lumens, making these floodlights an energy-efficient and long-lasting replacement for traditional light sources ranging from 70W to 600W.
Designed specifically for ceiling and wall-mounted general area lighting, the PXLED series excels in environments where flammable vapors and gases are present, as well as harsh conditions such as vibration, dust, moisture, corrosive atmospheres, and extreme temperatures. This versatility makes the PXLED suitable for industries including offshore and onshore oil and gas, heavy industrial manufacturing, chemical and petrochemical plants, pharmaceuticals, shipyards, dockyards, power generation, paper mills, and wastewater treatment facilities.
The PXLED floodlights hold multiple certifications and comply with various international standards. These include the Type Examination Certificate BVS 17 ATEX E 013 X and IECEx Certificate IECEx BVS 17.0004 X. They meet the marking requirements of the 2014/34/EU directive and IECEx for explosion protection in gas and dust atmospheres, certified for Ex db eb op is q IIC T4 Gb and Ex tb op is IIIC T100°C Db environments. Additionally, the floodlights have a high ingress protection rating of IP66/67 according to EN 60529 and meet the TR CU 012/2011 EAC certification, ensuring suitability for rigorous hazardous conditions.
Constructed with anodized, copper-free aluminum enclosures and toughened clear glass lenses (with frosted options available), the PXLED series offers exceptional durability. The stainless steel swivel bracket (316L) allows for precise adjustment and alignment during installation, accommodating various mounting requirements with multiple fixing points and accessories.
A key design strength of the PXLED series is its modular architecture, which allows users to select the exact lumen output needed—ranging from 5,000 to more than 30,000 lumens in 5,000-lumen increments—eliminating over- or under-design of lighting solutions. The multi-channel LED driver technology ensures operational safety and reliability; even if one LED circuit fails, the remaining modules continue to function, enhancing system uptime.
The floodlights are equipped with high-efficiency LED modules delivering up to 110 lumens per watt, reducing energy costs by up to 70% compared to conventional lamps. The PXLED operates effectively across a wide ambient temperature range from -50°C to +55°C. Eaton’s innovative thermal management design incorporates large cooling pipes and heat dissipation features that keep LED chip temperatures below critical levels, securing a rated lifespan (L80) exceeding 60,000 hours even in high ambient temperatures.
Lighting distribution options are tailored for diverse applications with available wide and narrow beam patterns, as well as asymmetric distributions created through specially designed lens caps. The system achieves over 90% light transmission efficiency, resulting in total system efficiency above 110 lm/W. Additionally, the laminated glass version with an external plastic safety foil prevents glass shards from falling, making it safe for critical applications in food and beverage, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
The PXLED floodlight’s driver is specifically engineered for harsh hazardous environments, exceeding typical surge resistance standards by withstanding 4 kV between line and neutral and line/neutral to earth, surpassing the EN 61000-4-5 standard. Over-dimensioned electronic components minimize self-heating and maximize maintenance-free operation. The LED driver carries its own Ex “q” certification and is housed within an Ex-e compartment, allowing for safe and simple replacement in the rare event of a driver failure, without needing to replace the entire floodlight.
Overall, the CEAG PXLED series combines robust construction, modular flexibility, high efficiency, and comprehensive safety certifications to provide reliable, maintenance-friendly floodlighting solutions tailored for the most demanding hazardous environments.
