C1D1 Explosion Proof LED Exit Sign, LSEX, 5W, Exit Sign+Emergency Back Up Battery

1. Product Overview

The LEDSION C1D1 Explosion Proof LED Exit Sign is an industrial-grade emergency egress luminaire engineered for the most demanding and hazardous environments. Certified for Class I, Division 1 (C1D1) locations — including refineries, petrochemical plants, offshore platforms, grain elevators, and other volatile atmospheres — this fixture delivers dependable emergency exit guidance precisely when and where it matters most.

Built on a rugged A356T6 aluminum housing with a baked-on gray epoxy finish and sealed with a one-piece silicone gasket, this luminaire achieves an IP66 ingress protection rating, shielding internal components from dust intrusion and powerful water jets. The tempered glass EXIT sign plate ensures lasting legibility, while the stainless steel mounting sling and hardware provide corrosion-resistant structural integrity across the product lifecycle.

Rated for up to 50,000 hours of LED service life and featuring a built-in 3-hour emergency battery backup, the EX-5W JNRD180 keeps evacuation routes clearly illuminated during power outages — meeting the stringent requirements of UL924, UL844, UL121201, CSA NO.213, and CSA C22.2 No.137-18 compliance standards.

5. Applications

The LEDSION C1D1 Explosion Proof LED Exit Sign is purpose-built for emergency egress identification in environments where flammable gases, vapors, dusts, or fibers present an ongoing ignition risk. Recommended facility types and use cases include:

 

• Petroleum refineries, upstream oil and gas production facilities, and pipeline terminals
• Offshore drilling platforms and floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels
• Chemical and petrochemical processing plants handling volatile organic compounds
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing environments with explosive dust or vapor potential
• Paint spray booths and solvent storage rooms
• Grain elevators, flour mills, and agricultural processing facilities (combustible dust)
• Coal handling facilities and mining operations
• Wastewater treatment facilities with methane or hydrogen sulfide present
• Industrial bakeries and food processing plants with flour or sugar dust hazards
• Textile manufacturing and woodworking facilities (Class III fibers and flyings)
• Automotive paint booths, aerospace maintenance hangars, and military installations

9. Indicator Light & Switch Reference

The integrated RGY three-color indicator system provides real-time battery and operating status to maintenance personnel without requiring removal of the fixture cover.

 

Indicator	State / Condition	Action Required
RED	Fast charging; battery at 20%–80% capacity	No action required; normal charging cycle
GREEN	Trickle charging; battery at 80%–100% capacity. Also illuminates when battery is disconnected.	No action required; fully charged / normal state
YELLOW	Battery discharged below 20%; or unit fault condition in any state	Inspect unit; if fault persists in any state, unit requires service or replacement

 

Note: If two or three indicator lights remain ON simultaneously during initial power-up, perform a unit reset: press and hold the ON switch for 5–6 seconds until the unit powers off, then release and press ON again. The indicator lights should return to normal operation following the reset.
