The EV LED from Eaton’s Crouse-Hinds Division is a robust, factory-sealed LED lighting fixture engineered specifically for hazardous and industrial environments where safety, efficiency, and durability are essential. Certified for use in Class I, Division 1 locations, the EV LED delivers dependable general illumination in areas where maintenance is difficult, costly, or disruptive. Designed to replace traditional 100W to 200W incandescent and 70W to 100W HID fixtures, this LED solution dramatically reduces energy consumption by up to 85% and offers a rated service life of 50,000 hours or more, significantly minimizing maintenance needs and operating costs over time.
Built for tough environments, the EV LED is certified for NEC and CEC applications, including Class I, Division 1, Groups C and D; Class I, Zones 1 and 2, Group IIB; and Class II, Groups E, F, and G. It’s also compliant with Class III simultaneous presence requirements and suitable for marine and wet locations, boasting a rugged Type 4X enclosure with IP66 ingress protection. The fixture meets multiple UL standards including UL844 for hazardous location fixtures, UL1598 for general luminaires, and UL1598A for marine vessel applications. It also meets Canadian CSA C22.2 No. 137 standards. With a T6 temperature rating at 55°C, the EV LED ensures safe operation in the most hazardous and thermally extreme environments.
The EV LED delivers crisp, white illumination instantly with no warm-up time required, making it ideal for applications requiring frequent on-off cycling. It performs reliably in extreme ambient conditions ranging from -25°C to +55°C (AC models) and -25°C to +40°C (DC models). Solid-state LED arrays provide superior shock and vibration resistance, eliminating the risk of filament failure, while the fixture contains no mercury or hazardous materials. The optical system is available in color temperatures of 3000K (CRI 82) and 5600K (CRI 65), with an amber option specifically designed for wildlife-sensitive applications. All LED modules are supported by an advanced heat sink design that maintains optimal thermal performance across all rated ambient temperatures, with LM-79 and LM-80 test reports available to verify performance.
Engineered with installation and longevity in mind, the compact modular design of the EV LED allows for quick mounting onto existing Champ® modules, facilitating easy retrofits. The fixture body, mounting modules, and guard are constructed from copper-free aluminum with a Corro-free epoxy powder coat for corrosion resistance, while the globe is made from heat- and impact-resistant glass. Silicone gaskets and stainless steel external hardware ensure reliable sealing and structural integrity, even in highly corrosive or wet locations.
EV LED luminaires are available in multiple configurations, including general illumination versions for industrial and commercial facilities, as well as wildlife-friendly variants for environmentally sensitive areas. They are ideal for applications requiring continuous, consistent lighting under demanding conditions, including chemical plants, petrochemical facilities, manufacturing operations, pharmaceutical labs, offshore platforms, tunnels, outdoor areas, and other hazardous or marine-rated environments.
By combining advanced LED technology with rugged construction and industry-leading certifications, the EV LED provides a safe, reliable, and energy-efficient lighting solution tailored to the most challenging industrial and hazardous location applications.
