We've got them available for OEM/ODM and wholesale, and they've been engineered to be waterproof, dustproof and corrosion resistant, with a bunch of custom options to suit just about any project in warehouses, koude opslag, voedselverwerking, parkeergarage, tunnels and all those other demanding commercial or industrial sites.
They're easy to attach to a ceiling, wall or surface, and our priority is getting them built like tanks - with a clear focus on serviceability, quality and keeping them running smoothly in the face of all the punishment you can throw at 'em.
What is LED vapor tight Light Fixture? De "Armor" Your Facility Needs
LED vapor tight Light Fixture - also known as a 'damp-location' or 'waterproof' light - is a unit that's been built to withstand the harsh conditions you'd find in a place like that. Think of it as a protective shell for your LEDs. Standard office lights are designed for a nice, controlled environment, but a vapor tight fixture is built to withstand the rough stuff.
As a dedicated manufacturer of these units, we take a robust, heavy-duty housing and a specialized gasket system and put them together to make a total seal that keeps the internal electronics dry and free from dust and corrosive vapors. Result? Your lighting stays stable and puts out a consistent high output no matter how dirty or damp the environment is.
The Real-World Difference: LED Vapor Tight vs Your Average Fixtures
Lots of people ask: "Can't I just cover a standard batten light with something?" The short and sweet answer is: Not if you want it to last long. Here's why professional contractors treat the Vapor Tight Light Fixture as a must-have for grueling environments:
Functie
Standard Light Fixtures
LED vapor tight Fixtures (COMLED)
Sealing Integrity
Basic dust covers; prone to moisture seepage.
Fully Gasketed Seals:Purpose-built to block moisture and dust (IP65 / IP66).
Duurzaamheid
Lightweight plastic or thin metal; easily cracked.
Slagvastheid:Often rated atIK08 or IK10, capable of withstanding mechanical impact.
Environmental Fit
Dry, clean indoor spaces such as offices and retail areas.
Harsh Settings:Suitable for tunnels, Auto -wassen, food processing zones, and underground parking garages.
Corrosion Protection
Exposed components may rust or corrode over time.
Chemically Resistant:Housing materials engineered to withstand salt spray and chemical vapors.
When you're buying in bulk and outfitting a tunnel or warehouse, you know you need a fixture that can take all the environmental punishment you throw at it - and that's what our OEM-grade vapor-tight solutions are designed to do.
LED vapor tight Light Fixture: Engineered for the Grit
When it comes to working in industrial environments you can't afford to be disappointed by mediocre lighting solutions. Nee, when we say ourDampdichte verlichtingsarmaturenare built to withstand the toughest conditions on site, we're not just slapping on a label that says "waterdicht". We're talking about engineering that goes the extra mile to anticipate disaster.
Going Beyond the IP65 Rating: How We Make a Sealed Unit Really Sealed
People often see that "IP65" rating and think they're good to go - all set, water-tight. But for any seriousLED vapor tight manufacturerlike ourselves that IP65 is a minimum standard. The real story is in how we get that seal.
We use an in-house injection molding process that cuts down on seams as much as possible. Because the truth is, every seam on a fixture is a potential weak point just waiting to fail. We ditch cheap foam tape for proper grade silicone gasketing that still looks great even when the temperature is fluctuating wildly. This keeps the internal bits of your lighting system bone-dry and dust-free even when you get hit with high-pressure washdowns or all the condensation you get in cold storage. At the end of the day its all about creating a total seal that keeps the key components of your lighting safe from the elements.
IK08 "Impact Shield": Real-World Protection for the Real World
In a warehouse or a parking lot underground you can be sure that stuff will get knocked. A swinging forklift mast, an errant piece of equipment, or even just some malicious vandalism can shatter a light in seconds.
Our fixtures are built with a proper physical defense system that has a rating of IK08. We use high-impact Polycarbonate (PC) diffuser style units that are designed to absorb a hit - an IK08 rating means they can withstand a 5-joule impact. That's roughly like dropping a 1.7kg mass from 30cm without giving in. By buying IK08-rated gear you're not just buying a light, you're buying yourself a safety net that keeps on top of the "hidden costs" that come from constant replacements and site downtime.
Keeping it Cool: Because a Cool Light is a Happy Light (and a Long-Lived One Too)
Heat is the silent killer of LEDs. To achieve this we have our custom vapor-tight designs incorporate aluminum heat-sinking PCBs that are heavy duty. We make sure that the heat generated by the LEDs is carefully pulled away from the light source and dissipated properly through the housing. This attention to detail stops "lumen drop" in its tracks and keeps the colour temperature steady from day one right through to the lights' end of life - roughly a decade on. For our bigger wholesale clients this translates to fewer warranty claims and an ever higher client satisfaction rating.
Easy-Peasy Mounting Options
We get it - for contractors, every minute is a dollar. A fixture that's a pain to hang is a fixture that'll just collect dust. That's exactly why we designed our Garage Light Fixtures to be as adaptable as the jobs they're thrown into:
Ceiling Surface Mount:this is your go-to for parking garages and corridors - especially when you want to keep it looking clean and unobtrusive.
Wall Mounting:perfect for those tricky spots like tunnels and stairwells where you need to light up the sides of things.
Opgeschort (Chain/Cable):if you're working in a high-ceiling warehouse and need to bring the light down to work height - this is the way to go.
Whether you're in the middle of a massive revamp or starting from scratch on a new build, our mounting hardware is super-versatile - with stainless steel clips that snap in and out quick as a flash - so your team can be getting on with the next job in no time, rather than stuck on a ladder all day.
Damp strakke LED -armaturen: 2FT to 5FT High-Output Industrial Solutions
Choosing the right vapor tight light fixture is really about picking the right tool for the job. It isn't guesswork, but about matching the light to the environment it's going to be in. Whether you're kitting out a small utility room or a massive logistics hub, our products are engineered to provide top-notch illumination that stays vapor proof and dust tight through the long haul.
As a company that specialises in LED vapor tight lighting, we've honed our range down to specific "mission-ready" serie. From the standard 4ft LED vapor tight light fixture to high-output 5ft vapor tight led high bay models, every one of our units is designed to be a hassle-free addition to your facility - a unit you can simply 'set and forget'.

A Quick Look at Your Options (Vapor Proof Lighting Parameters)
To make choosing the right vapor proof light a whole lot easier, we've put together the key stats on our LED vapor tight linear fixtures:
Power Output: 18W/ 36w/ 44w.
Kleurtemperatuur (CCT): You've got the choice of anywhere from a warm, inviting 2700K to a nice, cool daylight 6500K.
Power Input: Our lights are designed to be pretty adaptable & make use of a standard 100-277V input - although we can supply high-voltage units for industrial use if that's what you need.
CRI (Kleur rendering index): We typically offer a CRI of over 80, which is standard - but if you're working somewhere super colour-accurate is important (like a lab or a retail space) we can bump that up to 90+.
Levensduur: Our lights are pretty hardy, lasting for over 54,000 hours before they start to fade (at the L70 benchmark) & backed by a comprehensive warranty from our company.
Whether you're after a small 4ft vapor tight LED light for a little workshop or a whole load of 5ft units for a big airport project - we're here to help with the factory-direct expertise you need to get it done. Our lights don't just sit there looking pretty, they can take a real pounding & still keep on performing.
If you've ever handled bulk purchases for a big project, you know that the "price per item" only tells half the story. The real costs hide in the installation labor and the long-term electrical load.
Beam Angles That Make Sense: Our vapor tight led fixtures are designed with the right beam angles - in dit geval, optimized at 120 rang - to make sure you get maximum foot-candle coverage on the floor. For high-ceiling warehouses using our 5ft LED vapor tight fixture, that means the light gets where it needs to go rather than getting lost up in the rafters.
Visueel comfort & Anti-Glare: We use a high-transmittance vapor tight lens that diffuses the harsh "hete plekken" of LED chips - creating a uniform, glare-free environment that's essential for safety in places like transit tunnels or high-precision production lines.
Getting Colors Right: With a standard CRI > 80 (En 90+ available for custom orders), our vapor proof led lights ensure that anything that needs to be a certain color - like color-coded wiring or product labels - shows up exactly as it is. That cuts down on errors and improves safety.
Making Your Electricity Bill Smaller: The Power of PF > 0.9
For a small shop, Krachtfactor (PF) probably doesn't matter. But for a 500-unit parking garage install, it can make all the difference.
PF > 0.9. For the facility manager, that means lower "reactive power" charges on the utility bill - we're not just good at using less wattage, we're good at using what we have more efficiently.
Reducing Electrical Noise: By keeping THD < 15%, our LED vapor tight linear fixtures make sure they don't pollute your building’s electrical grid with "noise" that can interfere with other sensitive machinery or electronics.
Contractor-Friendly Design - Bringing Labour Costs Down
a Vapor Tight fixture taking 20 minutes to wire is a design failure. As a factory-direct manufacturer we've made loads of changes so our fixtures are the favourite among installers:
linkable design (daisy chaining): Loads of our 4-foot vapor tight fixtures have internal wiring which makes row mounting a breeze. This means contractors can just link multiple units together on a single power drop - cutting down the amount of conduit & labour needed, no question about it.
Quick-Connect End Caps: Forget fiddling around with teeny screws on a 15 foot ladder. Our vapor tight latches & super easy end caps give you tool-free access to wiring & lets you get in and out in double quick time - we've seen install times cut by as much as 30-40%.
Built-In Dimming & Sensoren: Whether it's a dimmable vapor tight LED or a vapor tight with a motion sensor, the controls are already built in. You dont need to wire up extra sensors - its genuine plug-and-play, even if you put them through their paces.
Custom OEM LED vapor tight Manufacturing: Your Brand, Our Muscle
In a world where "off-the-shelf" products are the norm, standing out in a crowded market means more than just having a product - it means having the right one for a high-stakes project. As a LED vapor tight fixture manufacturer with a long history of innovation, COMLED doesn't just offer a bunch of standard products; we create a full-service OEM/ODM partnership that gives your brand the edge it needs to succeed.
We understand that buyers and project engineers often face unique site constraints that a standard vaportite led light can't get around. That's why our manufacturing process is all about flexibility. Need a 4 foot LED vapor tight light with a special 90 minute battery backup to meet a project deadline? Or maybe an 5 foot vapor tight led light that's been tweaked to put out just the right amount of light for a government tunnel contract? We've got the "know-how" en de "manufacturing muscle" to make it happen.
The Customization Blueprint: Tailoring Performance to the Job at Hand
Our custom made solutions go way beyond simple rebranding. We dive into the nitty-gritty of the fixture to make sure it can take whatever the job throws at it.
Electrical Tweaking: Most others offer standard color temperatures, but we can give you a whole range - van 2700 to 65000k vapor tight lights. We can also fine-tune the driver currents to hit just the right spot between energy efficiency and brightness - or even integrate smart-grid compatibility with our NLC-Integrated Vapor Tights.
Mechanical Reinforcement: Need a housing that can withstand nasty chemicals in a fertilizer plant? We can swap out standard plastic for some heavy-duty polymers, or upgrade your order with 316-grade stainless steel vapor tight latches to keep corrosion at bay in high-salinity coastal zones.
Branding & Verpakking: We've got wholesale partners in mind when it comes to branding - from laser-etched logos on the vapor tight lens to bespoke packaging that makes a statement, your product will arrive ready to go - whether that's on the job site or the showroom floor.
From Concept to Container: Working With Us
We've streamlined the OEM LED vapor tight process to get your product to market fast. Our engineers work one-on-one with your team every step of the way:
Tech Talk: We go over your project specs (lux levels, montage hoogtes, and environmental stressors) to make sure we've got it covered.
3D Prototyping & Photometrics: We give you IES files and 3D models so you can see exactly how the vapor proof led light will perform before we even start cutting metal.
Sample Validation: We whip up an engineering sample for you to test and approve locally.
Mass Production & Quality Check: Once it's all good, we scale up production and put every unit through our rigorous IP65 and IK08 quality gauntlet before we ship.
Whether you need a 2 foot LED vapor tight fixture for a small utility project or a big batch of 5ft vapor tight led high-bays, we're the partner that bridges the gap between "standard lighting" En "job done".
Real-World Applications: Where Our Vapor Proof Fixtures Thrive
Not all damp locations are quite as equal as people make out. A coastal warehouse has salt-spray corrosion to contend with, while a food processing plant has to deal with high-pressure chemical washdowns. If you try to use a generic fixture in these environments, you're taking a bit of a gamble. Here at COMLED, we design our vapor tight light fixtures to meet the specific "stress profiles" of various industries - so that the lighting doesn't just survive in tough conditions but actually thrives in the face of all the punishment you can throw at it.
Parkeergarages & Transit Tunnels: High Vibration & 24/7 Reliability is a Must
Parking structures and tunnels can be a nightmare for lighting. With constant vehicle exhaust, fine particulate dust and the non-stop vibration from heavy traffic, you'd expect standard lights to take a bit of a beating. But there's a good chance they'll get "rattled" and fail prematurely.
The Solution: Our guys say that the 4ft LED vapor tight light fixture or the 5ft vapor tight led fixture are the way to go in these zones. The IK08 impact shield will protect against accidental knocks, and our vibration-resistant internal mounting makes sure the LEDs stay in place where they belong.
Food Processing & Koude opslag: Withstand a "Washdown" Day in, Day out
In the food industry, cleanliness is king: lighting has got to withstand daily high-pressure hosedowns and chemical sanitizers without fogging up or harbouring bacteria.
The Solution: Our vapor sealed lighting fixtures have smooth, non-porous housings that don't let grime build up. And the double-poured silicone gaskets create a hermetic seal that stays flexible even in sub-zero temperatures (tot -20 degrees C or lower).
Performance Edge: We use specialized vapor resistant light fixtures with PC diffusers that won't crack or turn brittle when exposed to cleaning agents, so your facility stays compliant with those strict health audits.
Industrial Warehouses & Productie: Lighting Up Harsh Zones
Standard high bays tend to collect dust on their fins, leading to overheating. So if you've got dusty workshops or humid manufacturing lines, you need a fixture that's both powerful and dust tight.
The Solution: The vapor tight led high bay lights are perfect for retrofitting aging metal halide or fluorescent systems. Replacing two 4ft units with one 5 foot LED vapor tight fixture will reduce your mounting points and cut down on installation labour.
Performance Edge: With high lumen vapor tight outputs often exceeding 6,000 lumen, these fixtures give you the "punch" needed for high-ceiling installations while maintaining an L70 lifespan of 54,000+ uur, even in high-heat industrial "hot zones".
High-ammonia environments (like livestock facilities) and high-salinity coastal areas will chew through standard metal fixtures in no time.
The Solution: Our dust proof light fixtures make use of high-grade, corrosion-resistant polymers and stainless steel vapor tight latches. Dit "all-weather" construction makes them the go-to vapor proof lamp for piers, bridges and greenhouses.
Performance Edge: The UV-stabilized lens stops the yellowing and brittleness caused by constant sun exposure, so your vapour proof light fittings stay looking sharp even after five years.
Dimmable Vapor Tight LED with Motion Sensor & Noodback-up
As a forward-thinking LED vapor tight manufacturer, we've put some real brains into our LED vapor tight linear fixtures to deliver more than just raw lumens – we're talking intelligent energy management and life-safety compliance.
Microwave Motion Sensing: Getting it Right, the First Time
Old school PIR (Passief infrarood) sensors just don't cut it in vapor-proof applications because that thick vapor tight lens gets in the way of the heat signatures they rely on.
The Microwave Edge: Our vapor tight with motion sensor units make use of high-frequency microwave technology. Unlike PIR, microwave signals can penetrate the PC housing and give you 360-degree detection, no matter how dusty, humid or high-airflow the environment.
Bi-Level Dimming: We can pre-program your vapor tight fixtures to dim in 3 stages(100% - 20% - Uit). This means that a parking garage or warehouse aisle never goes completely black – we keep a 'safety glow' going at 20% stroom, then leap to a high lumen vapor tight 100% output when motion is detected.
Remote Commissioning via IR: No one likes the idea of climbing a 20-foot ladder to open up a sealed fixture and fiddle with a timer. Our sensors work with infrared remotes, so you can adjust sensitivity, tijd vasthouden, and daylight thresholds from the ground.
Noodbatterijback-up: Life Safety in Critical Hours
Wanneer de stroom uitvalt, a vapor tight luminaire isn't just a light – it's a vital piece of life-safety equipment. We've moved away from those old Ni-Cd batteries and now offer the latest emergency battery backup vapor tight technology.
Extended Runtime: Our systems give you at least 90-180 minutes of emergency operation, which meets or exceeds the strictest building codes.
Self-Test Option: To cut down on maintenance labour, Wij bieden aan "self-test" modules that do the monthly and annual battery discharge tests automatically, with a simple LED to tell you if the unit needs some TLC.
Dimbaar & Networked Controls: Ready to Scale for the Future
Whether you're doing a simple retrofit or building a "Smart Warehouse," our electrical architecture is ready to integrate.
Dimming Options: If you need something more complex, we offer 0-10V or DALI (Digitale adresseerbare verlichtingsinterface), so you can monitor and control individual fixtures on a granular level.
Quality Control and Certification
In the B2B world, a fixture that looks cheap on the invoice becomes the most expensive line item on your balance sheet the moment it fails in some dark, cramped tunnel or in a hospital grade kitchen that demands absolute cleanliness. Bij COMLED, we don't just see quality control as a box to tick before we ship - we view it as a survival test for our fixtures. And for a company that specializes in manufacturing led vapor lights, that means making sure every single vapor tight fixture we send out is tough enough to withstand whatever it's going to face in the wild.
How Hard Can Our Fixtures Take a Hit?
An IK08 rating means our fixtures can survive a 5-joule impact. But it takes a lot more than just thick plastic to make that happen - you need some serious material science going on.
Pendulum Hammer Test: We hit our 4ft LED vapor tight light fixture housings and vapor tight lens with a custom-built pendulum hammer in all sorts of vulnerable spots, including the corners and latches.
Polycarbonate Power: We use a special kind of high-impact polycarbonate that absorbs the shock, rather than just shattering under the impact. That means our vapor proof light fixtures are perfect for places like high-traffic parking garages or gymnasiums where people are always walking by and bumping into things.
The 48-Hour Aging Test
If the driver or LED chip has a flaw, we want it to fail in our factory, not on your client's ceiling. So we run the entire thing for 48 hours at 45C - 50C - if it's faulty, we'll catch it.
Colour Stability: During that 48 uur, we're monitoring the "colour shift" to make sure that when customers order a 2700-6500k vapor tight light, they get exactly what they paid for - the same hue, every single time.
Global Compliance - Your Passport to Any Market
For original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) trying to navigate the complex regulatory landscape of different regions, COMLED can be a real lifesaver.
Certificeringen: Our vapour proof light fittings have all the necessary certifications in place: UL, ETL, CE, RoHS, SAA/RCM, and CB - you name it.
EMC Compliance: We make sure that our LED vapor tight linear fixtures are Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) meewerkend - that way they won't cause any problems with sensitive equipment in hospitals , or air traffic control systems in transit hubs.
L70 Validation: We back up our claims about low maintenance with hard evidence - our LM-80 certified LED chips give us the photometric data we need to prove that our LED vapor tight linear fixtures can last for over 54,000 uur.
Veelgestelde vragen
Whats the difference between a "Damp strak" en een "Dampbewijs" light fixture?
In a lot of cases, people use these two terms interchangeably, Maar "vapor tight" generally refers to fixtures that have a full gasket to block moisture, dust and non-explosive vapors (usually rated IP65 or IP66). Anderzijds, "vapor proof" was an older term that was typically used in connection with big heavy-duty globes that are used in areas where they get wet regularly. Vandaag, for most industrial projects, the standard is an LED vapor tight linear fixture that's designed to stay sealed even if you give it a really good washdown or expose it to salt spray.
How do I pick between an IP65 and an IP66 rating for my building?
It all comes down to how much water is going to be around. An IP65 vapor tight fixture is dust-tight and can handle a low-pressure water spray from any direction - that's good for places like parking garages or areas where it rains a lot. But if you're working with food processing or a car wash where they blast water jets to clean things, then you'll need to go with something rated IP66 or IP67. We make sure our vapor-sealed lighting fixtures can withstand the shock of a really cold washdown on a warm fixture.
Why do people prefer Polycarbonate (PC) over glass for LED vapor tight lenses?
Glass is chemically inert, but its also super brittle in an industrial setting - not ideal at all. But glass is not the only option - high-grade Polycarbonate has an impact shield that's a real lifesaver. Our vapor tight lens is made from UV-stabilized PC, which is great at absorbing physical shocks - like if a forklift happens to run into it or someone swings a tool at it. And in food-safe areas where contamination is a big problem (like in places that have to meet NSF standards), you can't have any glass around because of the risk of breaks.
Do microwave motion sensors work okay when they are inside a sealed vapor tight housing?
They do just fine. Unlike PIR (passive infrared) sensors that need a clear line of sight and struggle to work with plastic covers, microwave sensors can see right though vapor proof light housing. That means the sensor can stay inside the sealed dust-tight housing without any issues. We also include infrared remotes, so your team can adjust the sensitivity and dimming levels without ever having to get up on a ladder and take the thing apart.
What does the "L70" rating mean for the long-term maintenance of my LED vapor tight?
An L70 rating of 54,000 hours means that after 6 years of running 24/7, your vapor tight led fixture will still be putting out at least 70% van zijn oorspronkelijke helderheid. It doesn't actually mean that the light "dies" bij 54,000 uur - it means it's still usable. This is one reason why people often prefer led vapor proof units in high-ceilinged areas where calling a scissor lift to change a bulb is more expensive than replacing the fixture itself.
Can COMLED provide custom OEM branding for wholesale vapor tight LED light orders?
We at COMLED are all about customization – we're a LED vapor tight manufacturer and that means tailoring our products to what you want. We can tweak the drive current to get the "wattage-to-lumen" ratio just right for your project. And if that's not enough, we can help your brand stand out with private labelling - that means we can get your logo laser etched onto the lens and slap your branding on some sturdy custom packaging. Whether it's a particular emergency backup time or some unique colour temperature, we can design a solution that fits your brand's needs to a T.
Can you link up multiple vapor tight LED fixtures in a continuous row?
The good news is many of our linear vapor tight fixtures have linkable or daisy-chain designs which lets you just plug in multiple units to a single power source. That cuts out a whole heap of cabling hassle, installation time and labour costs, especially in longer corridors or warehouse runs.
What kind of certs do vapor tight LED fixtures need for international projects?
The cert requirements really do depend on where you're planning to do business. COMLED's vapor-tight LED fixtures have got the CE (LVD & EMC) tick for Europe, RoHS for the materials, UL or ETL for NA and RCM/SAA for Australia & New Zealand and even some multi-country CB reports. For most OEM and export jobs, it's the combination of these that really matters - you'll probably need a bunch for smooth market access.
