lamp in a horizontal to base down position. Do not install in any
classified location where the marked operating temperatures exceed
ignition temperatures of hazardous atmospheres. Do not install fixture
in location where ambient temperature exceeds maximum ambient
temperature indicated on fixture nameplate. Keep tightly closed when
in operation.
APPLICATION

These fixtures are factory sealed; external seals are not required. The
T-Rating of the fixture must not exceed the ignition temperature of the
atmosphere in which it is to be operated. Refer to the fixture nameplate
for specific classification information and appropriate operating
temperature (T) rating.
Illuminator fluorescent lighting fixtures are also suitable for use in wet
locations, marine locations and paint spray areas. They are designed for
