Built for wet, washdown, and corrosive facilities, our vapor tight LED fixtures seal out water, chemicals, and dust for reliable light in food plants, car washes, wastewater rooms, and harsh industrial bays. IP66 to IP69K enclosures with NEMA 4X hardware and NSF listings support sanitation, daily hose down, and compliance. Choose linear or high bay formats with scalable lumen packages to match ceiling heights and tasks. Tight gaskets, impact rated lenses, and rugged mounts keep light levels stable while reducing maintenance and downtime across wet production lines and service areas.
Use vapor tight LED lighting when wet, washdown, or corrosive conditions demand sealed fixtures that keep performing. These luminaires pair NSF options with IP66 to IP69K and NEMA 4X construction for sanitation and durability.
High pressure spray, foam, steam, and hose down routines in food plants.
Constant moisture in car wash tunnels and bays, with chemicals present.

For sanitary production zones that need IP69K, NSF, and IK10 protection, choose the SL Series Vapor Tight LED. It is linkable, delivers a wide 120° beam, runs on 100 to 277 V, and is purpose built for high pressure washdown in food and beverage facilities.
Facilities that face moisture, spray, steam, and chemicals need sealed fixtures that keep output stable and maintenance low. Vapor tight LED luminaires deliver reliable light in tough environments while supporting sanitation and safety programs.
Food and beverage processing lines, packaging zones, clean corridors
Car wash tunnels and bays with detergents and constant spray
Cold storage, coolers, and freezers where condensation is common
Water and wastewater plants, headworks, clarifiers, and pump rooms
Chemical mix rooms, CIP stations, and detergent storage areas
Agricultural and dairy washdown, poultry and meat rooms
Breweries, bottling, and canning facilities
Parking canopies, transit platforms, and underpasses
Marine and coastal facilities exposed to salty air
Battery charging rooms, utility corridors, and service bays
These use cases highlight where vapor tight LED fixtures with IP66 to IP69K, NEMA 4X, and NSF options provide durable, compliant lighting in demanding conditions.
Vapor tight fixtures must be verified to operate safely and consistently under water, spray, and corrosive exposure. The families on this page carry the core ratings and performance metrics buyers expect for wet and washdown environments.
Ingress protection, IP65 to IP67 on linear and high bay models, IP69K where specified, seals out water, dust, and high pressure spray
NEMA 4X housings with corrosion resistant materials and stainless hardware for washdown and coastal areas
UL wet location listings and NSF components or certification, suitable for food production zones where required
Impact protection such as IK10 where available, durable lenses for busy bays and tunnels
DLC or DLC Premium qualification where offered, supports rebate eligibility and efficiency targets
Universal input, typically 100 to 277 V, high voltage options on select models, 0 to 10 V dimming ready for controls
Rated life and lumen maintenance, L70 or L90 figures documented per family
Ambient temperature ranges and gasket integrity validated for daily sanitation cycles
These ratings ensure sealed, code friendly operation, long service life, and predictable performance in wet, corrosive, and hygiene critical applications.
IP66 seals against dust and powerful water jets from any direction, good for wet locations and hose down. IP69K adds very high pressure, high temperature spray resistance, ideal for direct washdown in food plants and car wash tunnels.
NSF compliance confirms materials and construction meet sanitation requirements. Fixtures are smooth, non toxic, and easy to clean, and are suitable for use in inspected food zones as specified. Choose NSF where audits or HACCP plans apply.
Use linear vapor tights at 8 to 16 ft for wide, uniform coverage. Use vapor tight high bays at 18 to 35 ft with wide or aisle optics to push light to the floor. Typical spacing is around 1.0 to 1.2 times mounting height.
Yes, most models include 0 to 10 V dimming. Add occupancy or daylight sensors and network controls to cut energy, maintain light levels during sanitation, and meet code, using sealed accessories suited to wet areas.
Specify NEMA 4X housings, corrosion resistant hardware, and impact rated lenses. For foam and high alkalinity or acid detergents with close range spray, select IP69K models. Rinse residues and inspect gaskets on a regular schedule.
LEDs start instantly in low temperatures and sealed housings help control condensation. Verify the ambient rating on the model you select, many operate well in cooler and freezer applications with optional emergency packages available.
Need help matching ratings, optics, and mounting height to your environment, food production, car wash, wastewater, or cold storage, our lighting team will size the right vapor tight models, deliver fast quotes, and provide photometrics and controls recommendations that fit your budget and timeline.
