The SLX LED is a robust explosion-proof LED floodlight specifically designed for demanding environments such as power plants, chemical plants, drilling rigs, oil platforms, refineries, and aerospace maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO). It holds a Class 1 Division 1 rating for hazardous locations, ensuring safety and reliability where flammable gases or vapors may be present. In addition to its stringent safety certifications, the SLX LED complies with Buy American Act requirements, making it suitable for projects requiring domestically sourced products.
Engineered to perform under wet and extremely hazardous conditions, the SLX LED features a thick tempered glass lens combined with a marine-grade cast aluminum shell and cover, which provide excellent durability and resistance against physical and environmental damage. The fixture’s sealed fittings and durable gasket prevent the ingress of liquids, vapors, and gases, maintaining safe and consistent operation. Its 44-watt LEDs are conformal coated, enhancing protection against shock and vibration, which is essential in harsh industrial settings. The SLX LED offers two optic options: a flood beam with a 45-degree spread and a spot beam with a 28-degree focus, producing up to 3,800 lumens of bright, reliable illumination.
The SLX LED operates efficiently on a wide voltage range of 120 to 277 volts at 50-60 Hz and is fully potted with two LEDs per fixture for added protection. It incorporates replaceable components for easier maintenance and includes built-in safeguards against over-voltage, over-current, and short-circuit conditions. Designed to function within ambient temperatures ranging from -20°C to +40°C, it delivers a crisp color temperature of 5000K, ideal for clear visibility in industrial environments.
Mounting is secured by a marine-grade wrought aluminum harp, and the wiring includes three 90-inch (2286 mm) 16-gauge stranded leads with factory-sealed wire entrances to ensure a watertight connection. Threaded joints are lubricated with non-drying petrolatum to maintain long-term reliability.
The SLX LED meets a wide array of certifications and standards, including ETL and cETL certification for UL 1598 (Ordinary Locations), UL 1598A (Marine Outside Type for Saltwater), and UL 844 (Hazardous Locations). It is suitable for Class I Division 1 and 2 groups C and D, Class II Divisions 1 and 2 groups F and G, and Class III Divisions 1 and 2 hazardous environments, with a temperature rating of T4A (120°C). It also complies with Canadian CSA standards and meets NEMA 4X for protection against corrosion and water ingress. Furthermore, it adheres to both the Buy American Act (BAA) and Build America Buy America Act (BABA).
Typical applications for the SLX LED include chemical plants, drilling rigs, refineries, wastewater treatment plants, power plants, fuel depots, food and beverage processing facilities, and grain processing and storage facilities, where reliable, explosion-proof lighting is critical for safety and operational efficiency.
