Explosion proof paint spray booth fluorescent light fixture on dolly style cart with wheels and handle. UL rated Class 1 Division 1 and 2 and Class 2 Division 1 and 2, this fluorescent light also has a UL paint spray booth certification. The operator can easily wheel this cart style light fixture into position next to the target or lay it flat to provide illumination beneath the target. A wire mesh guard a replaceable Plexiglas lens protects fixture from overspray and random impact. The light ships with a 50' SOOW cord and explosion proof plug.
Made in the USA
Explosion proof light fixture properties:
1. Each unit dialectically tested.
2. Fixture arrives assembled and lamped to reduce installation time and cost. Adjustable mounting brackets enable the operator to choose any mounting angle for the fixture, where other models may only offer one or three choices.
3. Fixture constructed of extruded corrosion resistant copper free aluminum alloy
4. Over-sized, finned ballast housing for 800 mA fixtures provides more heat dissipation and extends ballast life. Larger ballast box accommodates High Output lamp ballasts. Ballast housing easily accessible and externally mounted. Top and bottom covers secured with nuts and bolts, instead of threaded through holes, which can be damaged with dirt.
5. Heavy gauge extruded aluminum reflectors with high gloss reflective finish. Resists dents and corrosion.
6. A wrench is used to unscrew the end caps for relamping the fixture, while other models require the “tap and knock off” method to loosen the end cap.
7. Explosion proof, impact and heat resistant Pyrex tubes provide lamp protection.

Lamp Options:
Our most popular standard lamp configuration uses 60 Watt High Output T-12HO fluorescent lamps producing 4050 lumens per lamp (8100 lumens total). However, we do have options, including:
F54-T5/841/HO – 60 watt, 5000 lumens per bulb, 20,000 hours life, 4100 Kelvin color (Suffix –T5)
F48-T12/HO – 60 watt, 4050 lumens per bulb, 12,000 hours life, 4100 Kelvin color (Suffix –T12HO)
F32-T8/841 – 32 watt, 2950 lumens per bulb, 24,000 hours life, 4100 Kelvin color (Suffix –T8)
F48-T12-D-HO – 60 watt, 4050 lumens per bulb, 12,000 hours life, 5100 Kelvin color (76 CRI - Color Rendition) - This specialty lamp is designed to mimic daylight conditions. For paint spray booth operators requiring a brighter color light than a traditional "cool white", this bulb can be useful. (Suffix –T12DHO)
F-48-T12-VHO – 110 watt, 7000 lumens per bulb, 12,000 hours life, 4200 Kelvin color (Suffix –T12VHO) NOTE: the 110 watt lamps raise the temperature rating from T5 to T6, which is NOT appropriate for paint spray booth applications. The fixture is still Class 1 Division 1 rated, however, this fixture is no longer paint spray booth certified with the 110 watt Very High Output lamp. However the T-rating drops to a T5 from a T6.
NOTE ON LAMPS: There is some confusion on T-12 bulbs. There are 2 types of T-12 bulbs. The older T-12 bulbs ran on magnetic ballasts. Those ballasts have vanished and the T-12 bulbs that work with those ballasts are vanishing as well. All of our explosion proof fluorescent fixtures use electronic ballasts and the F48-T12/HO bulb is widely available and low cost to replace. We use Philips bulbs and they plan to continue the T-12 series indefinitely, as does GE. In fact, GE is now selling an electronic ballast replacement for T12 based fixtures that formerly operated with their magnetic ballasts.
We offer a choice of bulbs with all of our explosion proof fluorescent fixtures. However, we standardize on the T-12HO bulbs mostly for their cold weather start capabilities and 60 watt high output. Many of our customers, including Naval bases, shipyards, oil rigs and petrochemical processing plants operate in very cold conditions, and T-12HO operate best in those environments. The T-12HO bulbs are also the least expensive to replace. T-8 bulbs are inexpensive as well, but you trade off lower light output for longer life. Finally, T-5 bulbs cost about 2 times that of the other bulbs but offer high light output and long life.
The T12VHO, 110 watt Very High Output lamps make this fixture an ideal replacement for 400 watt metal halide surface mount fixtures in hazardous location areas requiring Class 1 Division 1 rated lights. However, the 110 watt T12VHO lamp configuration is not appropriate for paint spray booth applications, since the temperature rating drops from a T5 to T6.
