Description
The Nicor XPQ1WG is a Wire Guard accessory specifically designed for the Titan (XPQ) series of hazardous location LED luminaires.
While the “XPQ” refers to the heavy-duty light fixture itself (often used in industrial sites like oil refineries or chemical plants), the “WG” suffix stands for Wire Guard.
Product Overview
The wire guard is a protective metal cage that installs over the face of the light fixture. Its primary purpose is to provide an extra layer of physical protection for the glass lens and internal LEDs without significantly obstructing the light output.

Key Features
Compatibility: Designed for Nicor Titan (XPQ) series, the flood light/high bay models (like the XPQ1A or XPQ1B).
Protection: Guards against mechanical impact and large debris, which is critical in “HazLoc” (Hazardous Location) environments where equipment undergoes heavy vibration or potential strikes.
Construction: Typically made of durable stainless steel or galvanized steel to resist corrosion in harsh environments.
Safety Rating: Because it is an accessory for a hazardous-rated fixture, it is built to Class 1, Division 1 or 2 certifications.
When to Use It
You would typically purchase this if your lighting installation is in a “high-traffic” industrial area, such as:
Low-ceiling manufacturing floors where forklifts or tools might strike the light.
Oil and gas facilities where flying debris is a risk.
Outdoor locations are subject to heavy vandalism or debris.
