Why Appleton?

Appleton engineers the V-51 VGL Series with a malleable iron housing, shock-absorbing porcelain socket and neoprene vibration protection to deliver dependable illumination in Class I, Division 2 hazardous and wet-location environments. For professionals who need code-compliant lighting that stands up to corrosive, moisture-laden conditions, Appleton remains a trusted choice.

V-51 family note: this VGL listing uses a glass globe (clear, amber, red, green, or blue depending on the catalog number). The VPG1 Series (separate listing) is the equivalent fixture with a polycarbonate globe instead of glass — a real material difference, not a duplicate listing.

Appleton VGL-1CL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Appleton V-51 VGL luminaire be used in a Class I, Division 2 area?
Yes. The V-51 VGL incandescent luminaire is certified for NEC Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D, and also carries CEC Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D, CEC Class II, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups E, F, G, and CEC Class III. Enclosure rating is 3R, so it also handles wet, dirty locations like tunnels, subways and chemical processing areas. It is not a Division 1 fixture under NEC, so if your area classification is Class I, Division 1, this is the wrong fixture.
2) What lamp does the Appleton VGL luminaire take, and what is the maximum wattage?
It takes medium base incandescent lamps from 60 to 300 watts, seated in a porcelain socket with a brass screw shell. The socket is shock absorbing, which is the point of it in vibrating locations, it helps the lamp survive. Maximum input voltage is 150V, so this is a 120V-class fixture, not a 277V one.
3) Can I run the Appleton VGL on a 277V circuit?
No. Maximum input voltage is 150V, which limits it to 120V nominal branch circuits. For a 277V lighting circuit you need a fixture rated for that voltage; do not step this one in on 277V.
4) What is the difference between the Appleton VGL and the VPG1 version?
Globe material. The VGL series uses a glass globe, in clear, amber, red, green or blue depending on the catalog number. The VPG1 series is the same fixture built with a polycarbonate globe. Choose polycarbonate where impact or breakage is the concern, glass where you want the optical clarity or the chemical resistance of glass.
5) Which VGL catalog number do I order for a colored globe?
The suffix sets the globe color. Clear globes are VGL-1CL and VGL-2CL, amber is VGL-1AM, blue is VGL-1BL, green is VGL-1GR, red is VGL-2RE, and VGL-1HR and VGL-2HR are the heat resistant red units. Order by the full catalog number, the color is not a separate accessory.
6) Will the Appleton VGL hold up in a corrosive, washdown area?
The mounting hood and globe adapter are malleable iron finished with zinc electroplate, chromate and epoxy powder coat, which is the standard stack for corrosive and moisture-laden service. The fixture is enclosed and gasketed with a 3R enclosure rating, so dirt and water ingress is handled. It is a common pick for chemical plants and wet storage areas.
7) Will this fixture survive vibration from nearby equipment?
It is built for it. A neoprene rubber ring in the reflector neck snaps into a groove in the mounting hood, which isolates vibration and guards against chipping, and the porcelain socket is shock absorbing to extend lamp life. That combination is why these end up in tunnels, subways and process plants.
8) Does the guard on the Appleton VGL luminaire need separate clamps?
No clamps. The guard snaps into two recesses in the globe adapter and holds there, so there is no separate clamp hardware to order or lose during a re-lamp.
9) How is the Appleton VGL wired, and is anything included for the connections?
It comes with a connection block, so field wiring lands on terminals instead of being spliced blind in the hood. Construction is unitized, which keeps the install and later maintenance short.
