Why Appleton?
Appleton engineers the V-51 VGAT Series with unitized, malleable iron construction and a triple coat corrosion-resistant finish to withstand the moisture, dirt, and corrosive atmospheres found in demanding industrial environments. With Class I, Division 2 hazardous location ratings and a shock-absorbing porcelain socket, this luminaire is built for code-compliant, long-lasting performance where standard fixtures fall short.
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.
