Emerson Appleton Rigmaster LED linear luminaires furnish high-visibility lighting output up to 8000 lumens.
The Appleton Rigmaster line is comprised of three versions: An explosion-proof model for Class I, Division 1 locations, a hazardous location luminaire for Class I, Division 2 areas, and an industrial, ordinary location version. An optional emergency battery backup provides up to 180 minutes in safety lighting. All three solutions meet IP rating requirements.
When compared to conventional T8 fluorescent fixtures, Appleton Rigmaster LED linear luminaires consume less than half the energy, reduce maintenance and replacement costs. LED life is over 60,000 hours.
Its mounting brackets accommodate most bolt patterns for other luminaire manufacturers when retrofitting older fixtures. Its hinged wiring compartment is secured with captive screws. Two NPT hubs on each end of the fixture allow for through wiring. Leads are placed outside the wiring compartment so the installer can bypass the screw cover. Two mounting options are available — yoke brackets and a pendant kit.
Rigmaster LEDs feature a looping safety cable through the fixture and around the mounting structure that secures it from falling onto employees or equipment.
