Nuvo Vapor Tight Fixture
What is an LED vapor tight fixture?
Vapor tight lights are a type of lighting system best suited for indoor or outdoor areas exposed to damp or wet environments.
The term “vapor tight” refers to the ability for the fixture’s sealed and gasketed design to keep out moisture and other contaminants that could potentially damage the system.
Nuvo has both linear and adjustable vapor tight fixture solutions available for purchase.
Corresponding suspension kits for linear LED vapor tight lights are also available for purchase.
Where are LED vapor tight fixtures commonly used?
Vapor tight light fixtures are mostly used in areas susceptible to moisture such as garages, car washes, food processing facilities, industrial manufacturing areas and more.
Select Nuvo models also contain an integrated microwave sensor that digitally controls the light adjustment based on daylight levels and movement.
Are adjustable LED vapor tight lights the same as linear LED vapor tight lights?
No, Nuvo adjustable LED vapor tight lights are smaller compared to linear vapor tight lights.
This is because adjustable LED vapor tight light fixtures can be mounted on a wall or ceiling with a flexible mounting component while linear LED vapor tight fixtures are mounted to the ceiling with an external suspension kit.
Additionally, adjustable vapor tight lights are non-dimmable structures with a die cast aluminum casing while linear LED vapor tight lights consist of a sealed plastic and polycarbonate build.
Which suspension kit do I need for my vapor tight fixture?
Nuvo offers separately purchased metal suspension kits for 2ft, 4ft, and 8ft tri-proof and vapor tight options that include:
- Set of 2 mounting brackets compatible with cable
- Set of 2 Ceiling Mount Brackets
- 3 ft Suspension Cable
Selecting the correct suspension kit is determined by the length of your vapor tight fixture. Nuvo LED vapor tight fixtures come in lengths of 2, 4 and 8 feet to accommodate several space sizes.
What does tri-proof mean?
Tri-proof refers to an LED fixture that is waterproof, dustproof and anti-corrosion.
Tri-proof LED lighting works best in areas where floodlighting is needed due to their durable build and anti-glare ability.
Nuvo vapor tight fixtures are designed with a silicone seal that works to keep foreign materials for damaging any internal workings.
