This SPECLITE explosion-proof UFO fixture utilizes advanced LED technology to deliver consistent, high-output illumination while consuming a fraction of the energy required by traditional metal halide or high-pressure sodium high bay lights. The integrated selectable wattage and color temperature functionality is built directly into the driver, allowing installers and homeowners to configure the fixture on-site without needing to purchase multiple product variations — a practical advantage that simplifies inventory and ensures the right light for every application.
At the heart of this fixture is a high-efficiency LED driver rated for a wide input voltage range, ensuring stable performance across varying electrical systems commonly found in Canadian homes, farms, and outbuildings. The driver is designed for long operational life and pairs with premium LED chips that maintain a high CRI rating, meaning colors appear natural and true under the light — an important detail for detailed task work, paint matching, or any environment where visual accuracy matters.
Thermal management is critical in enclosed, explosion-proof housings, and this fixture addresses it with a precision-engineered aluminum heat sink integrated into the UFO body. This design draws heat away from the LED array efficiently, protecting both light output and lifespan even during extended operation in high-ambient-temperature environments. The fixture carries a Class I Division 1 hazardous location rating, meaning it is tested and approved for use in areas where ignitable gases or vapors may be present under normal operating conditions — the highest standard of explosion-proof certification available.
Fully cUL listed and certified to Canadian electrical standards, this fixture also carries an IP66 rating, confirming it is sealed against dust ingress and powerful water jets — making it ideal for wet locations, washdown environments, and exposed outdoor installations. Compared to legacy lighting technologies, this LED solution offers dramatically reduced energy consumption, lower maintenance costs due to its extended rated lifespan, and instant-on capability with no warm-up period. Installation is compatible with standard mounting hardware, and the fixture's compact, self-contained design means no external ballast or ignitor is required.
