Frequently Asked Questions About Vapor Proof Lighting

What are vapor-proof LED light fixtures used for? +

Vapor-proof LED fixtures are designed for environments with moisture, dust, or harsh conditions. They’re commonly used in industrial facilities, warehouses, car washes, parking areas, cold storage, gyms, and outdoor walkways where reliable, sealed lighting is essential.

How do vapor-proof LED lights save energy? +

These fixtures use LED technology, which consumes up to 80% less power than traditional lighting. Their long lifespan—often 50,000+ hours—reduces maintenance and replacement costs, delivering significant long-term energy savings.

Are vapor-proof lights completely waterproof? +

While “vapor-proof” means they are sealed against moisture and dust, their water resistance is defined by an IP rating. For wet or outdoor areas, look for fixtures rated IP65 or higher to ensure reliable performance in rain or washdown conditions.

Can vapor-proof LED fixtures be installed outdoors? +

Yes. High-quality vapor-tight lights are designed to withstand outdoor weather, including rain, snow, and humidity. They’re ideal for parking lots, loading docks, and building exteriors where durability and consistent illumination are crucial.

What certifications should I check before buying vapor-proof LED lights? +

Look for certifications such as UL, CSA, or ENERGY STAR, along with compliance to NEC or IEC standards. These ensure the fixture meets rigorous safety, performance, and energy-efficiency requirements.
