We have eliminated the ballast box normally associated with explosion proof fluorescent fixtures which reduces overall weight and overall
complexity of installation. There is no ballast in this unit and the included LEDT8-28W-V1 LED lamps have a 50,000+ hour service life, both of
which result in extreme efficiency and greatly reduced maintenance costs. These fluorescent LED lamps have internal drivers, eliminating
external power components. The solid state design of the LED lamps give this fixture superior resistance to damage from vibration, extremes in
temperature and a lamp service life over twice that of standard fluorescent bulbs. This second generation lamp is offered in 5600K cool white,
4500K natural white, and 3000K warm white. Our standard unit ships with 5600K unless different color temperature is specified.
Unlike the glass tube design of traditional fluorescent lamps, these LED T-Style lamps have no filaments or fragile housings to break during
operation. Instead of using a combination of gases to produce light, light emitting diodes (LEDs) use semi-conductive materials that illuminate
when electric current applied and emitting light. The LED assembly is mounted to the "tube" constructed from extruded aluminum, with a
polycarbonate lens protecting the LEDs. With LED lights, there is no warm up time or cool down time before re-striking and provide instant
illumination when powered on, adding to the reliability of LED technology. By nature, LED light sources run significantly cooler than fluorescent
lamps, reducing the chance of accidental burns and increased temperatures due to heat emissions. This solid state design of light emitting
diodes provides a more reliable, stable, durable, and energy efficient light source over traditional fluorescent lighting.
The 28 watt LED lamps produce 30% more illumination than standard T8 bulbs while offering lower amp draw and increased reliability. Each
lamp produces 3,500 lumens at 125 lumens per watt, for a combined 7,000 total lumen light output. An EPL-48-2L-T8 explosion proof fluorescent
light, with a combined total of 64 watts, draws 0.54 amps at 120 volts AC. This LED version of the same light, with a total of 56 watts, draws only
0.47 amps at 120 volts AC. The EPL-48-2L-LED is universal voltage, not multi-tap, and operates on any voltage from 120V to 277V AC 50/60hz
without any modifications. We also make a 12/24V AC/DC version for low voltage applications for AC or DC power.

Our EPL-48-2L-LED LED light fixture is U.S. and Canada approved for use in paint spray booths. Please note, according to the NEC, using
threaded rigid pipe does not require additional seal offs with this fixture. An EYM and seal off is necessary for flex conduit or other non-rigid pipe
implementations.
Mounting Options: Unless otherwise specified, our standard, most popular configuration is the bracket end mounting shown enlarged below.
We also offer a pendant mount for those needing to suspend the fixture away from the ceiling surface (i.e. suspend from pipe or conduit).
Additional mounting configurations can be customized to meet the requirements on the application. Please contact us for special mounting
configurations.
Adjustable Surface Mount Brackets: Each bracket is cinched to the bracket mounting peg on each side of the light. The angle of the bracket is
set by tightening two cap screws on either side of the bracket. The cap screws act as a set screw. The bracket itself is mounted via a single bolt
hole at the top the bracket. There are two brackets, one on each end of the light. Once the brackets are mounted to a surface (ceiling, floor or
wall), the light fixture can be removed from the brackets by loosening the cap screws that hold the bracket to the mounting peg.
Suspension Mounting: Pendant mount fixtures hang from the ceiling and are suspended by rigid pipe. Each fixture features a 1/2” NPT junction
box on one end, and a 1/2” NPT adjustable L-bracket on the other end of the fixture. Operators bring rigid pipe down to the threaded mounting
hubs. Wiring is fed down through the rigid pipe to the junction box and tied in to the fixture’s lead wires, completing the electrical connection. The
adjustable L-shape mounting bracket provides support for the opposite end of the fixture.
