Why Appleton?

Appleton engineers the V-51 VA Series luminaire with unitized, malleable iron construction that reduces installation and maintenance costs while standing up to the vibration, moisture, and corrosion challenges of hazardous industrial environments. With its shock-absorbing porcelain socket, gasketed enclosure, and Class I Division 2 rating, this fixture delivers dependable, code-compliant lighting for demanding professional 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 VA-75 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Appleton V-51 VA Series luminaire rated for Class I Division 1 locations?
No. The V-51 VA Series incandescent luminaire is rated Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D under the NEC. Under the CEC it also covers Class I Division 2 Groups A-D, Class II Divisions 1 and 2 Groups E, F, G, Class III, and Enclosure 3R. If your drawing calls for Class I Division 1, this fixture does not meet it.
2) What lamp does the Appleton VA-50 or VA-75 luminaire take?
Medium base incandescent lamps, in two ranges: 60 to 150 W and 150 to 300 W. The socket is porcelain with a brass screw shell, and the shock-absorbing socket design is intended to extend lamp life in vibrating installations. Lamps are not part of the fixture.
3) Can I run the Appleton V-51 VA luminaire on 277V?
No. Maximum input voltage on the V-51 VA Series is 150 V, so it suits 120 V circuits but not 277 V. For a 277 V hazardous-location circuit you need a fixture rated for that voltage.
4) Will this fixture hold up in a wet or corrosive plant area?
That is what it is built for. The mounting hood and globe adapter are malleable iron with a triple-coat finish of zinc electroplate, chromate, and epoxy powder coat, and the fixture is enclosed and gasketed. Appleton lists storage areas, tunnels, subways, and chemical plants as typical locations.
5) How does this luminaire handle vibration from nearby machinery?
A neoprene rubber ring in the neck of the reflector snaps into a groove in the mounting hood, which cushions vibration and guards against chipping the glass globe. The porcelain socket is also a shock-absorbing design to protect lamp life. Useful in tunnel, subway, and process-plant installations where the structure moves.
6) What mounting options does the Appleton V-51 VA Series offer?
Pendant, 45 degree stanchion, and a range of ceiling and wall mountings. The guard, where used, snaps into two recesses in the globe adapter and needs no clamps, so guard changes do not require loose hardware.
7) What is the difference between Appleton catalog numbers VA-50 and VA-75?
VA-50 and VA-75 are the two catalog numbers in the VA sub-series, both malleable iron, enclosed and gasketed, 150 V maximum, Class I Division 2 Groups A-D. Order by the exact catalog number, VA-50 or VA-75, since the VA designation alone does not identify the fixture.
8) Do I need extra wiring accessories to install this Appleton luminaire?
A connection block comes with the fixture, so field wiring lands on the block rather than being spliced to socket leads. Lamp and any guard or mounting accessory are separate selections.
