Designed specifically for retrofit applications, the Appleton Contender Industrial LED from Emerson is a low-profile enclosed and gasketed luminaire purpose-built for low mounting heights in harsh industrial areas or where fixture weight must be minimized.
Plant managers are facing increasing pressure to accelerate their sustainability plans as well as to improve lighting quality. The Appleton Contender Industrial LED can be used to retrofit HID fixtures up to 175 Watts and help plant managers continuously optimize their operations and reduce energy consumption by as much as 65 percent. Industries that would benefit from the luminaire include processing plants, chemical plants, foundries, waste treatment, mining, and steel mills with hostile working conditions. With multiple light output levels and Correlated Color Temperature options (CCT), illumination can be easily customized to fit virtually any application.
The Appleton Contender Industrial LED is exceptionally rugged. To withstand particularly harsh areas its construction includes:
- a proprietary epoxy powder coat finish for unmatched corrosion resistance
- a rugged IP68 watertight hub to ensure water in the conduit is kept out of the luminaire, heavy industrial-grade gaskets
- high vibration and shock resistance
- Rated Type 3R, 4, 4X, IP66/67, Wet Locations, Marine Outside Type (Salt Water)
- a robust 6KV surge suppression circuit to protect against damaging transients.
It also provides rated illumination through its full ambient operating temperature range of -40 F to 149 F to drive safety in arctic cold or extreme heat. In addition, it features a rated L70 lifetime of 100,000+ hours that adds value by minimizing maintenance requirements.
The Appleton Contender Industrial LED mounts directly to a select offering of Crouse-Hinds Champ mounting hoods, saving time and labor costs when retrofitting a plant’s legacy HID lighting system.
