VL-EXS8235-100W Explosion-Proof LED Area Light for Hazardous Industrial Zones

The VL-EXS8235-100W Explosion-Proof LED Area Light is a rugged, high-efficiency lighting solution engineered for use in environments where the presence of flammable gases, vapors, or dust poses an explosion risk. Designed with industry-leading CREE3030 LED technology and protected by a corrosion-resistant housing, this fixture delivers powerful and reliable illumination across a wide beam angle, ideal for work zones requiring both safety and visibility.

Certified Safety for Explosive Environments

Rated Ex d IIC T6 W, the VL-EXS8235-100W meets stringent international standards (GB3836.1 / GB3836.2) for explosion-proof lighting and is suitable for use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 gas environments, as well as Zone 21 and 22 dust areas. Its IP66-rated enclosure protects the fixture against powerful water jets and complete dust ingress, while the WF2 anti-corrosion grade makes it a dependable solution in chemically aggressive or marine-exposed facilities. With safety at its core, this light provides peace of mind and long-term operational reliability in oil & gas fields, refineries, offshore platforms, and chemical processing environments.

High-Efficiency Illumination

At the heart of the VL-EXS8235-100W is a high-lumen LED array consisting of 150 premium CREE3030 diodes, delivering a light efficiency of 120 lumens per watt. The fixture operates at 100–150 watts, offering a strong, even beam across a 95° lighting angle. Designed for large-area illumination, the LED’s color temperature ranges from 3000K to 6500K, allowing operators to select warm to cool daylight tones depending on application needs. The CRI ≥70 Ra ensures accurate color rendering, critical for tasks that require visual clarity in inspection, assembly, or monitoring operations.

Built for Durability and Longevity

This explosion-proof area light is engineered to withstand extreme environments. Operating within temperatures from -30°C to 50°C (-22°F to 122°F), it remains stable in both arctic cold and extreme heat. The housing and internal components are rated for 100,000 hours of LED life, translating to years of virtually maintenance-free performance.

With a start-up time ≤0.2 seconds and power factor >0.95 PF, the VL-EXS8235-XXX ensures immediate, efficient lighting without flicker, dip, or delay, an essential feature for critical safety zones.

Compact Form with Industrial Strength

Despite its robust light output, the VL-EXS8235-100W is compact and practical for installation across a variety of infrastructure layouts. Weighing just 4.6 kg (10.1 lbs.) with dimensions of 356 × 232 mm (14 × 9.1 inches), the fixture is optimized for easy mounting in overhead spaces, corridors, tunnels, or facility perimeters where bulkier lights may not fit.
