What is a vapor proof light? ›

Vapor proof LED lights have an outer shell made of polyurethane or fiberglass. This outer layer is lined with a full metal fixture. Vapor tight lights serve as replacements for CFL or incandescent lights. Like vapor proof lights, they protect against wet harsh conditions.

Vapor tight LED light fixtures are sometimes also referred to as wet location fixtures. They are specifically created with harsh weather conditions in mind. Perfect for illuminating areas both inside and outside that can be affected by water, humidity, and dust. Your garage is a good example!

Waterproof lights are completely sealed and protected from water and moisture content.

Vapor-proof ratings come in various forms, including IP65, IP66, and IP67. Fixtures receive each of these ratings after successfully passing a certain test.

A fire rated light fitting is one that is designed to preserve the 30, 60 or 90 minute fire resistant quality of the ceiling in which it is installed.

Like LED backlighting, EL is available in small sizes and multiple colors, and is very energy- and cost-efficient. Unlike LED, though, it provides uniform lighting without dark or bright spots. The biggest downside to EL backlighting is its comparatively short lifespan compared to LEDs.

Durability: Explosion-proof LED lights are typically made with rugged materials to withstand harsh conditions. They're resistant to shock and vibration, which is beneficial in industrial settings.

How Do You Cut Led Strip Lights? LED strip lights are designed to make cutting easy, so all you will need is a pair of scissors. Either follow the cutting line (that sometimes also has a scissor icon on it) or cut between the pair of copper dots that show up at the end of each LED unit.

Types of Vapor Retarders

Membranes are generally thin, flexible materials, but also include thicker sheet materials sometimes called "structural" vapor retarders. Materials such as rigid foam insulation, reinforced plastics, aluminum, and stainless steel are relatively resistant to water vapor diffusion.

What is damp proof light? ›

Damp-rated lights can go both outdoors and indoors, but keep in mind that these fixtures can withstand moisture, but not direct contact with the elements. You'll see a damp-proof light fixture in protected outdoor environments such as roofed porches, decks and sheds.

What is a Vapor Barrier? A vapor barrier is a thick plastic sheet that is laid throughout the crawlspace of the home. They come in a variety of thicknesses, but most people agree that 6 mil is the way to go. The plastic keeps moisture from coming up underneath the ground and getting into the area underneath your home.
