Appleton 1433 Wire Guard 100W Open Bottom

Product Description

The APPLETON 1433 is an open-bottom wire guard designed to protect exposed incandescent lamps up to 100 watts in industrial and commercial lighting applications. The open-bottom configuration allows heat to dissipate away from the bulb while the wire cage shields the lamp from accidental contact, mechanical impact, and debris. This type of guard is a standard component in factories, utility rooms, stairwells, and storage areas where bare lamped fixtures are subject to physical hazards. Installation is handled by electricians and maintenance personnel as part of fixture assembly or replacement service.

The 1433 wire guard fits over standard open incandescent lamp fixtures and is suited for use in areas where lamp breakage poses a safety or contamination risk. Typical applications include light-duty industrial facilities, warehouses, mechanical rooms, and similar commercial environments where a low-profile, passive lamp protection solution is required. The open-bottom design distinguishes it from fully enclosed guards and is appropriate where upward heat venting from the lamp is a priority.
