Effective Illumination for Industrial Applications
- Light Fixture Performance
With 2,000 and 4,000-lumen options within the 18" long housing, the BL is a unique luminaire for industrial use. Born as a design for military shelters, this luminaire excels for industrial clients.
- Visual Comfort and Safe Illumination
BL light engines consist of high-efficiency LEDs and aluminum circuit boards. Increasing the ambient temperature range. Internal reflectors are covering the junction area while improving the light output. The textured and impact-resistant external lens offers comfortable and glare-free lighting.
- Improved Visibility
The polycarbonate lens is resistant to impacts with an integral hinge part of the fixture.
Engineered for Extreme Environments
- Designed for Harsh Environments
The BL is available in a general-purpose or Class 1 Div. 2 for hazardous locations. It is a linear LED luminaire for the conventional vapor-tight category.
- Protected Against the Elements
A copper-free aluminum housing and polycarbonate lens make up the standard BL case. While special order versions are available with a glass lens and stainless-steel frame. Sealed to IP66 and pressure equalized with the help of a specialty membrane. Multi-layer powder coats offer long-term survivability of the aluminum.
Simplified Installation & Operation
- Installation Options
The BL is a lightweight LED solution compared to conventional hazardous location luminaires.
- Implementation Areas
Areas of use include modular buildings and facility lighting. Asset perimeter, catwalks and platforms. Workbenches, mining equipment, and shelter lighting. Color temperature options range between 2700K and 6500K. 0-10V dimmable power supplies provide 120-277 VAC / 347 VAC input options.
- Light Fixture Connection & Maintenance
Built-in junction area with three ¾” NPT entries allows for through wiring. Reducing the need for external junction boxes. Solder-free component replacements are possible with the BL. Allowing end-of-life driver, light engine, lens, and other replacements and upgrades.
BL - Encapsulated Variant
LED lights can face submersion for an extended period in certain applications. This challenge is also present in some industrial, infrastructure and maritime locations. Nemalux offers a version of the BL that is suitable for IP68 applications. An optically clear encapsulant creates a permanent seal. Maintaining protection against the ingress of water to a depth of up to 25'. The BL-EN model operates at full output in dry as well as submerged conditions.
BL - Zone 21
The BL Series LED fixtures have been certified with a Zone 21* classification. Zone 21 is a place in which an explosive atmosphere is likely to occur in normal operation. The Nemalux luminaires can provide safe and effective lighting in industrial and hazardous locations.
*Only applies to the LC Certified Variant.
