The Larson Electronics Explosion Proof LED Jar Light provides operators with a powerful alternative to traditional hazardous location luminaries, including metal halide, high pressure sodium, mercury vapor, halogen, CFL and incandescent lamps. This LED unit carries an IP67 waterproof rating and features an extended lifespan of 75,000+ hours. Compatible with ceiling, wall, and pendant mount installations, the mason jar style fixture is field serviceable and features pyramid light distribution that closely resembles traditional bulbs.
Mounting
The EPL-MJ series LED light fixture is available with several different
mounting configurations, specified when ordering. Find your chosen mount
configuration below for specifics:
Pendant:
Pendant mount lights will get a threaded plate that attaches to the top of the
fixture to allow for pipe to be threaded directly into it. Using the provided
gasket in the groove on the underside of the plate, pull the wiring through
the threaded hole on the plate and secure it to the fixture using the provided
hardware kit. There should be one screw and one lock washer for each hole. Be
sure the gasket stays in position and provides a good seal once the screws are
secure. Fixture is now ready to be pendant mounted. Follow all applicable
local and national electrical and building codes when completing the
installation. -Pendant
Ceiling:
Ceiling mount lights will get a surface mount junction box to mount to the top
of the fixture that will allow it to be mounted to any flat surface capable of
supporting the load. Using the provided gasket to seal between the junction
box and the fixture, attach the junction box to the fixture using the provided
hardware kit, pulling the wiring into the junction box to allow for
connections. There should be one screw and one lock washer for each hole. Be
sure the gasket stays in position and provides a good seal once the screws are
secure. Fixture is now ready to be surface mounted using the pre-drilled
mounting holes in the flange of the base.
Wall:
Wall mount lights will get a surface mount junction box and elbow extension to
mount to the top of the fixture that will allow it to be mounted to a wall.
Using the provided gasket to seal between the junction box and elbow
extension, attach the two pieces together using the provided hardware, as
shown in the picture above. Once the elbow extension and junction box have
been joined together, use the other gasket to seal between the elbow extension
and the top of the light fixture, and secure it using the provided hardware
kit. There should be one screw and one lock washer for each hole. Be sure to
pull wiring through the elbow extension and into the junction box, and be sure
both gaskets stay in place and provide a good seal once the screws are secure.
Wiring
We strongly encourage a licensed electrician install this product, in all
locations, especially in outdoor areas where weatherproofing may be
required.
Warning: Check product label for correct input voltage!
Secure each pair of wires according to the diagram. Utilize the junction box
or similar device and take precautionary steps for weatherproofing all
connections if installed in a location where water may come in contact with
the unit. Ensure the unit is properly grounded and that wiring is done
according to all local and national electrical/building codes. Unit is
“instant on” and will illuminate as soon as power is supplied.
Maintenance
There are no serviceable parts inside the fixture. However, it is good practice to routinely clean and check the fixture for proper function.
- Disconnect power running to the lamp and be sure the fixture is cool to the touch.
- Use a non-abrasive glass cleaning solution to clean the lens.
Note: It is not necessary to open the fixture and clean or touch the LED’s.
Change Steady/Strobe Setting
In order to switch light settings between steady burn and strobe, you will
need to access the board of the light by opening the back of the unit as
shown. Once the board is accessible, locate the small switch and change to the
desired position. Be sure flamepath is free from damage or debris and light is
sealed again properly before operation.
