The Mercmaster III induction light fixture is now available in a 165-W version, expanding the current product line’s 55- and 85-W lamping options. Rated for NEC Class I Division 2 locations, the new fixture delivers 100,000 hours of labor-saving, virtually maintenance-free operation. This endurance makes it ideal for hard-to-reach locations or hazardous environments where lamp servicing presents a possible safety hazard.

The light fixture features rugged construction and corrosion-resistant materials. It is well suite for a wide range of industrial, chemical processing and refining operations where flammable gases and vapors are present, as well as non-hazardous locations subject to extreme weather, excessive moisture, dirt and corrosive elements. It operates safely in temperature ranges from -50 C to 40 C, and provides excellent lamp depreciation with 70% of initial lumen output even after 60,000 hours.
