Why Appleton?
Appleton's V-51 luminaires pair malleable iron construction with a triple coat corrosion-resistant finish and a shock-absorbing porcelain socket to deliver reliable, code-compliant lighting for Class I, Division 2 hazardous environments. Unitized construction and a tool-free guard attachment simplify installation and maintenance for demanding industrial and wet-location applications.
V-51 family note: this VPG1 listing uses a polycarbonate globe (amber, red, clear, green, or blue depending on the catalog number). The VGL Series (separate listing) is the equivalent fixture with a glass globe instead of polycarbonate — a real material difference, not a duplicate listing.
