Increased-safety LED high bay for Zone 2 gas and Zone 21/22 dust areas, in four sizes from 20 W to 400 W.
EXP-HC is an increased-safety LED high bay, Ex ec IIC Gc for Zone 2 gas areas and Ex tb IIIC Db for Zones 21 and 22. The light source and the driver sit in separate compartments of a die-cast aluminium body sealed to IP66, with three threaded entries on the power compartment.
Four sizes cover 20 W to 400 W: HC1 up to 100 W, the compact HC2 up to 70 W, HC3 up to 200 W and HC4 from 150 W to 400 W. Every catalogue wattage is rated T3 / T100 °C at ambients up to +55 °C under certificate IECEx PCET 25.0005X, Issue 1. Optics of 40°, 60°, 90° and 120° and five colour temperatures from 3000 K to 6500 K are offered, with flat, convex or spherical diffusers.
