Vapor tight LED lights (also known as vapor proof light fixtures) are highly durable, sealed, and gasketed luminaires specifically engineered to resist the intrusion of moisture, dust, dirt, and corrosive elements, making them ideal for challenging indoor and outdoor environments that often require washdown procedures. These robust fixtures ensure reliable and long-lasting illumination even in conditions where standard lighting would quickly fail.
Understanding IP Ratings for Vapor Tight Fixtures
A critical aspect of vapor tight light fixtures is their Ingress Protection (IP) rating. This two-digit code indicates the degree of protection provided against solids (first digit) and liquids (second digit). For vapor tight and wet location applications, especially those requiring washdown, a high IP rating is essential.
- First Digit (Solids): Ranges from 0 (no protection) to 6 (dust tight). A rating of IP6X means the fixture is completely protected against dust.
- Second Digit (Liquids): Ranges from 0 (no protection) to 9K (high-pressure, high-temperature jet sprays). Ranges from 0 (no protection) to 9K (high-pressure, high-temperature jet sprays). For vapor tight fixtures, common ratings like IP65 indicate protection against water jets, while IP66 signifies protection against powerful water jets. Higher ratings like IP67 or IP68 offer protection against temporary or continuous immersion, often necessary for rigorous washdown environments.
Choosing the correct IP rating ensures your LED vapor tight fixtures will withstand the specific environmental challenges of your installation, guaranteeing performance and longevity.
