It provides illumination for obstructions, jetties, tank farms or as security and perimeter lighting.
Equally, the flood can be used in any harsh industrial environment.
Certified for use in Zone 1 areas and ATEX Category 2 compliant, the VL64 Ex d (flameproof) floodlight reinforces the Victor Lighting hazardous area portfolio.
Users have an extensive range of lamp options accommodating high pressure discharge lamps up to 400W or single ended tungsten lamps up to 500W.
Manufactured from corrosion resistant aluminum alloy (LM6), the floodlight has a pre-drilled stirrup bracket complete with aiming quadrant for easy installation.
A separate Ex 'e' increased safety terminal chamber, removing the need for technical glanding, reduces installation costs.
Simple maintenance is also assured as re-lamping is achieved via the easy access hinged front cover fitted with captive cover screws.
