Eaton’s Crouse-Hinds series Champ FMVA LED floodlights deliver full-spectrum, crisp white illumination tailored specifically for hazardous Class I and Class II environments. This versatile family comprises eleven models ranging from 3,000 to 50,000 lumens, offering a broad selection to suit various industrial floodlighting needs. Designed to ensure safety, reliability, and long operational life, the Champ FMVA LED floodlights are certified for NEC, CEC, and IEC hazardous locations, making them suitable for global applications.
These floodlights are particularly effective for outdoor wall and stanchion mounting in areas where flammable vapors, gases, ignitable dusts, fibers, or flyings exist. Their robust construction and advanced LED technology allow operation in harsh industrial settings such as oil and gas refineries, drilling rigs, petrochemical plants, food and beverage facilities, platforms, loading docks, and tunnels. They meet rigorous standards for wet and marine environments, featuring Type 4X and IP66/IP67 ratings that guarantee protection against water, dust, and corrosive conditions.
The Champ FMVA LED floodlights are built for performance and durability. They provide up to 60,000 hours of rated life at 55°C ambient temperature, greatly reducing maintenance and replacement costs. A die-cast aluminum heat sink optimizes airflow and dissipates heat, thereby extending both LED and driver lifespans. Their energy-efficient design enables up to 72% savings compared to traditional HID fixtures, while a minimum T3C temperature rating allows safe use in the most hazardous environments as well as any non-hazardous location.
Featuring solid-state construction, these floodlights resist shock and vibration, eliminating fragile filaments or glass components prone to premature failure. Installation is simplified through a yoke design compatible with existing Crouse-Hinds SFA6 slipfitter and SWB6 wall mounts. The fixtures support instant illumination and restrike, and their cold temperature operation requires no warm-up. Additionally, they are equipped with dimmable 0-10V drivers and serviceable components, contain no mercury or other hazardous substances, and operate reliably across ambient temperatures from -40°C to 65°C (NEC) or up to 55°C (IEC).
The lighting system utilizes high-intensity discrete power emitters with customizable color temperatures including standard cool white (5000K, 70 CRI), optional deep warm (2200K, 70 CRI), warm white (3000K, 80 CRI), or neutral white (4000K, 80 CRI). NEMA 7x6 or 4x4 optical patterns are available to tailor light distribution according to application needs. The standard fixture includes a heat- and impact-resistant glass lens, with options for diffused glass or polycarbonate lenses. The housing is constructed from die-cast aluminum with a Corro-free™ epoxy powder coat for corrosion resistance, and external hardware uses 316 stainless steel. The floodlights are factory sealed, requiring no additional external seals.
Champ FMVA floodlights meet a comprehensive list of certifications and standards, including NEC/CEC classifications such as Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D, Class I Zone 2, Class II Division 2 Groups F and G, and Class II Zone 22. They are approved for marine and wet locations with Type 4X, IP66/IP67 ratings. UL and CSA standards certification covers UL844, UL1598, UL1598A, UL8750, CSA C22.2 No. 137 and No. 250, and FCC compliance with Part 15 / ICES-005. IECEx and ATEX certifications ensure suitability for Zones 1, 2, 21, and 22 hazardous locations, with temperature classifications allowing operation from -40°C to +65°C depending on application.
The floodlights provide efficient and consistent lighting for demanding environments requiring frequent cycling or continuous operation, delivering up to 117 lumens per watt. Their rugged, thick-walled die-cast aluminum housings, combined with a robust heat sink design, ensure effective thermal management, protecting internal components from high ambient temperatures and mechanical stresses such as vibration and impact. These design features contribute to long-term reliability and lower total cost of ownership.
Installation versatility is another strength of the Champ FMVA series. The floodlights are compatible with Eaton’s SFA6 slipfitter and SWB6 wall mount brackets, making them suitable for retrofit projects or new installations. The yoke design ensures secure and adjustable mounting for a wide range of applications and mounting heights, typically from 15 to 30 feet.
Overall, the Champ FMVA LED floodlight series offers a comprehensive solution for hazardous area lighting, combining industry-leading certifications, robust construction, customizable optical options, and outstanding energy efficiency. These features make them a dependable choice for industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, food processing, mining, and manufacturing where safety, performance, and operational cost savings are critical.
