LED High Bay Vapor Tight Light Fixtures

One of the most durable solutions on the market today, LED vapor tight high bay lights have been specifically designed to handle the toughest jobs and are able to provide the same great illumination you expect without succumbing to moisture and other hazards. Like traditional high bays, vapor tight fixtures provide great illumination for a wide area specifically intended for high ceilings, making them perfect for large spaces and tall ceilings in warehouses and industrial spaces, and with the vapor-tight design, they will provide an extra level of security and reliability that you will love.

Vapor tight lighting is available in a range of sizes and styles, so you can choose how much illumination you need by adjusting the number of lamps used in each fixture. These are used in dirty or damp locations in place of traditional high bays. The main difference between high bay vapor tight light fixtures and more traditional options is that they are sealed to block particles entering the fixture and can be cleaned very easily with a hose or pressure washer. This hardware is used in outdoor and indoor applications where the environment is damp/wet or where contaminants can be found. Their design lends itself to be great for applications like car washes, parking garages, cold storage facilities, industrial kitchen, bakeries, food processing plants, swimming pools, spray down bays, farm workshops, barns, and riding areas.

What are LED high bay vapor tight fixtures

Vapor tight high bay light fixtures are used in applications that require illumination from ceilings at least 18 feet high to provide lighting that spreads down and out towards the floor. They are specifically designed to withstand harsh indoor or outdoor environments. This is accomplished by being sealed and gasketed to protect their internal components from fumes, dust, moisture, rust and corrosion.

Where are LED high bay vapor tight fixtures used?

High bay vapor tight light fixtures are great fits for commercial and industrial uses. They have multiple applications across a range of industries such as car washes, parking garages, cold storage facilities, industrial kitchens, bakeries, food processing plants, indoor swimming pools, spray down bays, farm workshops, barns and riding areas.

What are the different types of LED high bay vapor tight fixtures?

High bay vapor tight light fixtures are typically linear in form and are available in 2-, 4- and 8-foot lengths. They are usually surface mounted or hung with chains and cables. They also have ingress protection ratings that provide information regarding what kind of environment that they are suitable for.

IP65 – protection against dust and water projected by a nozzle
IP66 – protection against dust and water projected by a jet
IP67 – protection against dust and when the enclosure is immersed in water (for specified time and pressure)
Some fixtures are also NSF-rated which means that they are certified for food service areas.

What Are the Benefits of Vapor Tight High Bay LED Fixtures?

LED lighting technology has developed to the point that it can overcome most drawbacks of the older technologies such as fluorescent fixtures.

Lighting quality is much better in terms of color rendering, color temperature and lumen output (compared to wattage used).
They have a much lengthier lifetime which means that the lights need to be replaced less often than other types. This is particularly important when it comes to high bay lighting which requires lifts or scaffolding to reach the fixtures.
Although LED lighting is more costly at the outset upon point of purchase, costs are more than made up over the long term due to the fact that they utilize much less energy than conventional lights. Energy efficiency from LED lamps saves on utility costs over time. They also don’t waste energy emitted as heat.

Why Use High Bay Vapor Tight Lights?

Vapor tight lighting offers a gasketed seal around between the lens and housing, so nothing can get inside. This lighting type is great in wet locations and protects from rain and other corrosive fumes, dust, and nonexplosive vapors and gases.
Wiring, when left exposed to such elements, can cause issues ranging from a fixture rendered unusable to potentially more serious consequences such as a fire or explosion of the fixture. Vapor tight solutions eliminate these concerns altogether.
The frosted lens will always look clean. As a business owner, appearances matter so this solution will help give the location a clean and well-maintained appearance because there will never be an accumulation of dirt, debris, or dead bugs commonly seen in outdoor fixtures that are not vapor tight solutions.
The overall quality of the construction is worth it for most locations such as a warehouse. The led vapor tight housings are rust resistant die-cast housings and the lenses are usually a sturdy reinforced polycarbonate. These fixtures will last for years and years in a variety of environments.
