The CRV series by Certolux is a specification-grade vapor-proof LED luminaire engineered for cleanrooms and other challenging environments where durability and reliability are critical. Designed for versatile installation, the fixture can be surface-mounted or suspended using chains or cables, offering flexibility for various applications. It carries IP65, IP66, and IP67 certifications and is NEMA 4X rated, providing full protection against dust, moisture, and strong water jets. Additionally, the CRV series is suitable for wet locations and hazardous locations, including Class I Zone 2, Zone 22, Class I Division 2, Class II Division 2, and Class III. Options for hazardous location configurations and temperature codes are available via the ordering key, ensuring compliance with a wide range of industrial and commercial safety requirements.
The CRV series is ideal for applications across agriculture, food processing, healthcare facilities, parking garages, dusty or damp environments, and other wet locations. Available in 24-inch, 48-inch, and 96-inch lengths, the fixture is specification-grade, ISO Class 4 and Class 5 compatible, and features a color rendering index (CRI) of 80+ for accurate visual clarity. Color temperature options include 3500K, 4000K, and 5000K, while lumen output ranges from 2,200 to 20,000 lumens depending on configuration. The fixture is certified to CSA, UL, and DLC standards and carries NSF component listing for safe use in food zones, demonstrating its suitability for controlled and industrial environments.
The CRV luminaire’s housing is constructed from lightweight, impact-resistant glass-reinforced polyester, providing strength without excessive weight. The housing features 21mm nominal diameter holes at each end, sealed with EPDM rubber caps to maintain a continuous protective barrier. Stainless steel mounting brackets enable secure, hole-free surface installation, and the housing also includes a bail attachment for chain or cable suspension when needed. Brackets snap onto multiple points along the fixture, ensuring a stable and reliable mounting system.
Sealing and gasket performance are central to the CRV series’ vapor-proof design. A poured-in-place gasket creates a continuous, reliable seal between the lens and housing, maintaining the fixture’s IP-rated protection against dust and moisture ingress. The standard lens is a shallow, molded, high-impact acrylic with a frosted, linear ribbed design, providing even light distribution while remaining easy to clean. Lens retention is managed with durable plastic latches, with optional stainless steel latches available for environments requiring additional corrosion resistance or mechanical strength.
The internal components of the CRV series are finished with a white polyester powder coating that enhances reflectivity, improving overall light output and distribution while maintaining durability in harsh conditions. The LED system combines long-life diodes with high-efficiency drivers to deliver consistent performance, rated to achieve an L80 lifespan of over 50,000 hours. The standard driver operates with a total harmonic distortion (THD) of less than 10% and supports low-voltage 0–10V dimming down to 10%, providing reliable control for diverse applications. All electrical components are CSA or UL approved, ensuring compliance with North American safety and performance standards.
The CRV series offers optional features for specialized applications, including emergency LED battery packs, red LED arrays for signaling, and microwave occupancy sensors for automated energy and safety management. With its rugged construction, versatile mounting options, and adherence to cleanroom, wet location, and hazardous environment standards, the Certolux CRV series provides a dependable lighting solution for industrial, commercial, and controlled environment applications where performance, safety, and durability are paramount.
