The Metallic LED VP Series is a rugged, marine and hazardous-rated vaporproof lighting fixture engineered for exceptional durability and performance in extreme environments. Consuming just 17 watts of power, it delivers up to 1,900 lumens of illumination depending on the globe type selected, offering a highly efficient lighting solution for demanding industrial and marine applications. Its housing is crafted from ultra-low copper content, marine-grade cast aluminum to ensure long life and exceptional corrosion resistance. The fixture’s patented LED module is fully potted in optically clear silicone, a design that shields the light source from water, dust, debris, and other contaminants, ensuring reliable operation even in the harshest weather and work conditions. Long-life silicone gaskets further enhance its resistance to environmental stressors, and marine-grade 316 stainless steel external hardware ensures a secure, corrosion-proof installation.
This fixture is designed for versatile use in both marine and industrial settings. It is ideal for walkways, doorways, stairwells, and perimeter lighting on marine vessels, as well as for installation in large mining equipment such as shovels and draglines. It also serves effectively in exterior and interior decks, machine rooms, electrical rooms, engine rooms, parking garages, transportation hubs, and subway stations. Thanks to its IP66 rating and robust construction, the Metallic LED VP Series can withstand environments such as swimming pools, locker rooms, car washes, and other high-moisture or washdown locations. Additionally, it is suitable for hazardous location use, meeting UL 844 standards for Class I, Division II, Groups A, B, C, and D; Class I, Zone II; and Class II, Division II, Groups F and G, with a maximum surface temperature rating of T3A or T4A depending on application.
The Metallic LED VP Series offers multiple mounting options, including wall (bulkhead) or ceiling installation, making it adaptable for different layout requirements. It is available in both cool white (5600K) and warm white (3000K) color temperatures to suit various lighting needs. Standard units come with a heat-treated glass globe—either frosted (FGC) or amber (GHA)—and an included guard for added protection, although the guard can be removed if not required. Additional globe options are available, including a polycarbonate prismatic globe, to customize appearance and light diffusion. The fixture is designed with one ½-inch NPT outlet for power connection and includes grounding hardware within its junction box.
Performance features include a Class 2 rated driver with standard 0-10V dimming capability, over-voltage, over-current, and short-circuit protection with automatic recovery. The fixture operates across a wide input voltage range of 100-277V AC at 50-60Hz and has been tested to withstand ambient operating temperatures from -45°C to +40°C, with certified operation from -30°C to +40°C. Storage temperature ranges extend from -52°C to +40°C (tested) and -40°C to +40°C (certified). Its 50,000-hour rated LED life ensures minimal maintenance, making it an economical and reliable choice for continuous use in high-demand environments.
With certifications including UL 1598 for wet locations, UL 1598A for Marine Outside Type (Saltwater), IP66 ingress protection, ABS approval, and compliance with the Buy America Act (BAA) and Build America Buy America Act (BABA), the Metallic LED VP Series stands as a top-tier solution for both marine and hazardous industrial lighting applications. Its combination of robust construction, high efficiency, environmental sealing, and multiple customization options make it a dependable choice for critical lighting needs in environments where reliability is non-negotiable.
