Cooper Crouse-Hinds, a provider of electrical and instrumentation products that enhance safety and productivity in harsh and hazardous industrial environments worldwide, has introduced the Champ® VMV LED Series, a new LED lighting technology for hazardous, industrial and other demanding locations.

The Champ VMV LED Series provides the same durability and reliability of a traditional Champ luminaire, combined with the improved energy efficiency and long life of LED technology. Additionally, the new, state-of-the-art LED luminaire helps industrial facilities to meet rising environmental standards and regulations.

The Champ VMV LED Series brings new levels of safety and productivity to industrial lighting. Improved temperature ratings and enhanced visibility with full spectrum lighting provide a safer work environment in hazardous and industrial locations. The Champ VMV LED outperforms compact fluorescent technology in cold temperatures by offering instant, full illumination with no warm-up required.

Operation and maintenance costs associated with lighting can decrease by up to 50 percent when using Champ VMV LED luminaires instead of traditional HID luminaires. The Champ VMV LED Series provides up to 60,000 hours of light, eliminating the high cost of frequent lamp replacement. Plus, the Champ VMV LED attaches to existing Champ mounting modules for easy replacement of existing HID luminaires.

Due to its compact size, the Champ VMV LED family is ideal for wide area illumination at mounting heights up to 20 feet. It performs in abusive or corrosive environments, as well as locations under extreme ambient temperatures.
