New Class 1 Division 2 Fluorescent Light Fixture with Neoprene Gasket Seal from Larson Electronics

Larson Electronics has added to its extensive range of industrial grade lighting equipment with the release of a Class 1 Division 2 fluorescent light fixture designed for use in wet areas and marine environments. This fixture has a T4C temperature rating and is specifically designed to handle the rigors of wet and corrosive marine environments.

The HALP-48-2L-NSIL hazardous area fluorescent light fixture is designed for use in wet areas and saltwater-marine environments where corrosion resistance is critical to equipment longevity and safety. This fixture is constructed of non-corrosive materials including polyester housing reinforced with glass fiber, a poured in neoprene gasket for reliable sealing and an impact resistant acrylic diffuser. Eight corrosion resistant plastic latches secure the lamp cover to the housing and provide a firm lock against the poured in seal to prevent drips and water intrusion. This fluorescent light fixture comes equipped with two T5HO, T8, or T12HO lamps and is equipped with a universal ballast that can operate on 120V to 277V AC. The fixture is mounted with flange type stainless steel mounts attached at each end of the fixture which enables the fixture to be secured to any surface. These mounts provide some shock absorbency protection while enabling the user to simply mount the fixture with through-hole taps that protrude on each side of the fixture. These fixtures also provide a pendant mount option for operators who need to hang the fixture from a ceiling.

“Although silicone gaskets are high heat resistant, the silicone is attacked and broken down by certain chemicals,” said Rob Bresnahan with Larsonelectronics.com. “By incorporating a neoprene gasket on this fixture, it is resistant to moderate chemicals and acids, as well as oils, fats, greases, and solvents.”
