Built with a malleable iron mounting hood and globe adapter, these luminaires are suitable for hazardous, industrial, and wet locations including storage areas, tunnels, subways, and chemical plants. They are available in pendant, 45° stanchion, and a variety of ceiling and wall mounting configurations to fit diverse installation needs.

Key Features

  • Durable Construction: Malleable iron mounting hood and globe adapter with a triple-coat finish of zinc electroplate, chromate, and epoxy powder coat for corrosion resistance.
  • Enclosed & Gasketed Design: Neoprene rubber ring in the neck of the reflector snaps into the groove of the mounting hood, protecting against vibration and chipping.
  • Tool-Free Guard: Guard snaps into two recesses of the adapter, eliminating the need for clamps.
  • Maximum Input Voltage: 150 V.
  • Easy Wiring: Furnished with a connection block for easy wiring, and unitized construction that reduces installation and maintenance costs.

Why Appleton?

Appleton V-51 luminaires combine a malleable iron mounting hood and globe adapter with a triple-coat corrosion-resistant finish and a shock-absorbing porcelain socket, delivering rugged, code-compliant lighting for demanding hazardous and wet-location environments. Unitized construction and a furnished connection block simplify installation and maintenance, while CEC Class I, II, and III and NEC Class I Division 2 certifications support reliable, compliant performance in industrial and hazardous applications.

V-51 family note: the Appleton V-51 platform is built from several distinct sub-series (VGL, VPG1, VA, VGAT, VXHA, VWG, VC, VD, and others), each a different combination of mounting hood, globe material, and guard style for 60-300W hazardous-location lighting — not simple variants of one base fixture. This listing is one specific sub-series; see the other V-51 Series listings for the different hood/globe/guard combinations.

Appleton VD-50 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Appleton V-51 luminaire be used in a Class I, Division 2 hazardous area?
Yes. The V-51 enclosed gasketed incandescent luminaire carries NEC Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D, plus CEC Class I Division 2 Groups A-D, CEC Class II Divisions 1 and 2 Groups E, F, G, CEC Class III, and CEC Enclosure 3R. That covers dust-hazard areas like grain and coal handling as well as flammable vapor areas. It is not a Class I Division 1 fixture, so for areas where flammable gas is present under normal operating conditions you need a Division 1 rated luminaire instead.
2) What lamp does the Appleton V-51 take, and what is the maximum wattage?
Medium base incandescent lamps from 60 to 300 watts, split into 60-150 W and 150-300 W ranges depending on the fixture configuration. The socket is porcelain with a brass screw shell and is shock absorbing, which is what keeps filament life reasonable in vibrating industrial spaces. Maximum input voltage is 150 V, so this is a 120 V class fixture, not a 277 V one.
3) Will the Appleton V-51 hold up in a wet, washdown, or corrosive plant area?
It is built for it. The mounting hood and globe adapter are malleable iron with a triple coat finish of zinc electroplate, chromate, and epoxy powder coat for corrosion resistance, and the fixture is enclosed and gasketed with a neoprene rubber ring in the reflector neck that snaps into the hood groove. Typical uses are storage areas, tunnels, subways, and chemical plants. The CEC Enclosure 3R rating means it is rain rated, not submersible.
4) How do I order the right Appleton V-51 for pendant versus ceiling or wall mounting?
The V-51 platform is offered in pendant, 45 degree stanchion, and a range of ceiling and wall mounting configurations, and the mounting is built into the catalog number rather than added on later. The fixture here is catalog number VD-50. If your opening calls for a different hood, globe material, or guard style, that is a different V-51 sub-series catalog number (VGL, VPG1, VA, VGAT, VXHA, VWG, VC, VD and others), so pick the sub-series that matches the mount and globe you need rather than expecting one body to convert.
5) Does the guard on the Appleton V-51 need clamps or tools to remove for relamping?
No clamps and no tools. The guard snaps into two recesses in the globe adapter, so a maintenance tech can pull it for relamping by hand. That is the practical difference from clamp-ring industrial fixtures where you are hunting for a wrench on a ladder.
6) Is wiring the Appleton V-51 a splice job or is there a terminal block?
A connection block comes with the fixture, so field conductors land on terminals instead of being spliced in a crowded hood. The fixture ships as a unitized assembly, which is what keeps install and maintenance labor down on a multi-fixture tunnel or storage run.
7) We standardize fixtures across a facility. Can the V-51 cover both our Division 2 gas areas and our dusty storage rooms?
Yes, one family covers both. The V-51 holds NEC and CEC Class I Division 2 Groups A-D for vapor areas and CEC Class II Divisions 1 and 2 Groups E, F, G for combustible dust, plus Class III for fibers. For a plant with mixed classified areas that means a single fixture type, a single lamp stock (60-300 W medium base), and one spare parts line. The limit to watch is voltage: 150 V maximum input, so it does not go on a 277 V lighting branch.
8) Why choose an enclosed gasketed incandescent fixture like the V-51 instead of an open industrial reflector?
Two reasons drive the choice. An enclosed, gasketed body keeps moisture, dust, and corrosive atmosphere off the lamp and socket, which is what makes it acceptable in classified and wet locations where an open reflector is not. The neoprene ring seating the reflector neck into the hood groove also isolates the glass from vibration and chipping, so it survives tunnel, subway, and conveyor environments. If the area is clean, dry, and unclassified, an open reflector is the cheaper answer and this is more fixture than you need.
