Feasibility Of Replacing Driver & LED In Fixture That Was Submerged In Water And Oil?

[Ravenvalor]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone on this forum has experience working on LED Luminaires designed for hazardous areas? A customer's oil change pit was completely submerged in water and oil so all 8 - of their fixtures were submerged as well. Looking at the specifications on the fixture it appears that the manufacturer (Crouse'Hinds) offers a replacement driver but not replacement LEDs. The catalog number is CAT NO MLL4/UNV1 S903 TF

The spec sheet indicates that the fixture can handle spraying with water. Looking at the lens of the fixture one can see water/oil droplets inside the lens.

Thank you for the great advice.

I'd be inclined drying them out and see if they work. Kinda like when you drop your phone in a puddle.

Yes, take a couple back to the shop, dry, clean, power them up.

Say "Lookie there! I told you so!"



Then order new or order first. Your choice.

I agree. Clean them up, dry them out, and see if they work. If they don't work, replace the whole fixture.

(I was more inclined to order new, working or not.)

That would be my first choice, but these days it might be six months before you can get them.

Thanks for the help.
I made the recommendation to them to just order new ones. They are a huge company so they can probably get them much cheaper than I can get them. At least I do not have to worry about call backs.
