The CEAG eLLK Non-metallic Hazardous Area Linear LED Light Fixtures, part of the Crouse-Hinds series by Eaton, offer robust and efficient lighting solutions specifically designed for use in hazardous locations classified as Zones 1, 2, 21, and 22. These linear LED fixtures integrate the trusted design of the eLLK housing and EVG09 electronic ballast with advanced LED technology, delivering high-performance illumination with a rated lifespan of up to 110,000 hours. Their operational temperature range of -25°C to +55°C ensures reliability in both cold and hot environments, making them highly versatile for global industrial use.
The eLLK LED luminaires are constructed from heavy-duty, non-metallic materials, such as a glass fiber-reinforced polyester housing and a durable polycarbonate lens. This corrosion-resistant design meets IP66 and NEMA 4X standards, ensuring full protection against dust, dirt, water ingress, corrosive atmospheres, and mechanical impacts. These qualities make the fixtures ideal for demanding environments such as chemical plants, offshore platforms, tunnels, loading docks, and stairwells—especially in locations requiring low mounting heights and uniform linear illumination.
Engineered with high-efficiency heat sinks, these luminaires effectively dissipate heat away from the LEDs, preserving lumen output and maintaining color consistency over time. They provide immediate, full brightness without delay or performance degradation due to frequent switching. Their specially designed reflectors reduce glare and eliminate multiple shadow effects, improving visual comfort. With color temperature options of 4000K and 5600K, users can select the best light quality for specific applications.
The eLLK LED fixtures are also environmentally friendly, containing no mercury, and are resistant to shock and vibration due to the absence of fragile components like filaments or glass. These qualities contribute to a reduction in maintenance frequency and lower overall operating costs compared to conventional fluorescent alternatives. In fact, they offer over 20% energy savings and further reductions through smart operation modes such as day/night or presence-based lighting.
From a compliance standpoint, these fixtures meet stringent international standards. They are certified according to IEC/EN standards, holding EC-Type Examination Certificate BVS 09 ATEX E 034 and IECEx Certificate IECEx BVS 09.0033. The markings include Ex II 2 G Ex de mb IIC T4 Gb and Ex II 2 D Ex tb IIIC T80°C Db, affirming their suitability for gas and dust explosive atmospheres. Their ingress protection rating of IP66 ensures reliable operation even in extreme conditions.
The eLLK LED system is also offered as a self-contained emergency luminaire and can be integrated with CEAG’s V-CG-S central battery emergency lighting systems, providing reliable illumination during power outages. Retrofitting existing eLLK/M 92 fixtures equipped with EVG09 ballasts to LED is straightforward thanks to the backward-compatible Gen2 LED modules. This allows facilities to modernize their lighting infrastructure without replacing the entire fixture housing—resulting in both cost and labor savings.
In addition, the luminaires feature user-friendly installation. A generously sized terminal compartment and single-ended through-wiring simplify cabling, while a double-sided locking mechanism enables flexible installation with up to 20 latch points. The protective bowl can hinge open from either side, streamlining access for inspection and maintenance.
Combining rugged construction, modern LED efficiency, and compliance with international hazardous area lighting standards, the CEAG eLLK LED series delivers a comprehensive and future-ready lighting solution for harsh and explosive industrial environments.
