Description

what is vapor tight led batten light

Vapor-tight LED batten lights are lighting fixtures designed to withstand moisture, dust, and other environmental hazards. Characterized by waterproof, dustproof, and corrosion-resistant properties, they are suitable for highly protected areas. These fixtures typically feature aluminum heat sinks and UV-resistant PC housings, offering excellent heat resistance, impact resistance, and flame retardancy to withstand harsh environmental conditions. They are sealed tightly to prevent the ingress of moisture, ensuring their durability and longevity in challenging environments.

Vapor-tight LED batten light IP66 waterproof rating

The IP66 rating is an international standard certification (Ingress Protection Rating) used to indicate the level of protection of electrical equipment. This rating system is established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and widely adopted globally. The IP66 rating consists of two digits, representing the device’s dustproof and waterproof capabilities.

The first digit denotes the dustproof level. For IP66, the first digit is 6, indicating that the device has the capability of “complete protection against dust,” meaning that dust cannot enter the device’s interior.

The second digit represents the waterproof level. Similarly, for IP66, the second digit is also 6, indicating that the device can withstand powerful jets of water or heavy seas without harmful effects.

Vapor-tight LED batten light IK10 high intensity

The IK10 rating is an international standard for the protection of electrical equipment enclosures, part of the IEC 62262 standard, used to assess the protection capability of electrical product enclosures against harmful mechanical impacts from the external environment. The numerical value and definition of the IK code represent the protection level of the enclosure against external mechanical impacts, with IK10 representing the highest level of protection.

Specifically, the IK10 rating indicates that the enclosure can withstand energy impacts exceeding 20 joules (J) five times, and the same point cannot be impacted more than four times. This rating is suitable for applications requiring high levels of protection, such as industrial equipment, electronic communication devices, etc., to ensure that these devices can continue to operate normally without damage when subjected to strong mechanical impacts.
