Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes are available in the RAB SEAL family, and how do I choose the right one?

The RAB SEAL family is available in three sizes: the SEAL2 (2-foot, 25/20/15W, up to 3,400 lm) for low-ceiling or space-constrained applications up to approximately 14 ft.; the SEAL4 (4-foot, 50/40/30W, up to 6,800 lm) for mid-range mounting heights up to approximately 18 ft.; and the SEAL8 (8-foot, 100/80/60W, up to 13,700 lm) for large-footprint facilities and mounting heights up to approximately 26 ft. All three sizes share the same IP66, NEMA 4X, NSF, and UL Wet certifications. Select by mounting height, coverage area, and target foot-candle level.

Is the RAB SEAL rated for wet locations and food processing environments?

Yes — all SEAL sizes are UL Listed for Wet Locations and IP66 rated, meaning they are certified for direct water exposure, hose-down, and spray in any direction. NEMA 4X classification adds corrosion resistance for chemical and industrial environments. NSF Certification by Public Health and Safety approves all SEAL fixtures for food preparation areas. Operating temperature range: −40°C (−40°F) to +40°C (+104°F).

What sensor and emergency backup options are available across the SEAL family?

All three SEAL sizes support the following suffix options: /PIR (passive infrared sensor, 40 ft. max height), /MVS (microwave sensor, 50 ft. max height), /LCBS (Lightcloud Blue PIR, Bluetooth Mesh, no hub), /LCBS/MVS (Lightcloud Blue microwave), /E (90-minute battery backup for NFPA 101 / IBC egress compliance), and combined suffixes such as /PIR/E, /MVS/E, /LCBS/E, and /LCBS/MVS/E. All sizes also support 0–10V dimming natively. Non-LCB sensor settings are adjusted via the MSR1 Remote; Lightcloud Blue sensor settings are adjusted via the mobile app.

What is the cold weather starting temperature, and can SEAL fixtures be used in freezers?

Yes — all RAB SEAL sizes are rated to start and operate at temperatures as low as −40°C (−40°F), well below the −20°C rating typical of standard vapor tight fixtures. This makes the entire SEAL family suitable for walk-in freezers, cold storage warehouses, refrigerated processing areas, and outdoor installations in extreme climates. Maximum ambient operating temperature is +40°C (+104°F). No warm-up period or cold-weather accessories are required.

Are RAB SEAL fixtures DLC Listed, and do they qualify for utility rebates?

Yes — all three SEAL sizes are DLC Listed. DLC product codes: SEAL2 — S-2WR1TU · SEAL4 — S-5HVM3O · SEAL8 — S-PEIZB4. To verify rebate eligibility in your utility territory, search the applicable product code at designlights.org. NSF Certification may also support additional rebate or incentive eligibility in food-service retrofit programs.
