Moisture-resistant luminaires

The moisture-resistant luminaires here are mainly linear LED Damp Proof versions. Size, luminous flux and the exact enclosure protection designation matter when comparing them against the place of use.

Size and light are different selection criteria

For linear fittings, first check the specific listing's dimensional description. Housing length and stated luminous flux are not the same characteristic. If replacing an existing fitting, retain its data for comparison, but do not assume the same version solely from similar size or the general Damp Proof name.

Lumens describe the amount of visible light emitted, while watts describe power consumption. Compare both fields without treating wattage as another name for brightness. The stated flux alone does not determine illuminance on a specific work surface or replace assessment of the complete solution.

What the IP designation shows

The degree of protection applies to the exact product's enclosure. In the IP designation, the first digit describes protection against solid objects and dust, while the second describes protection against water. Compare the full designation and specific model conditions instead of using “moisture-protected” as general confirmation for every environment.

This designation does not establish resistance to chemicals, UV or mechanical impact. If such influences form part of the task, check them separately in the chosen fitting's documentation. One version's enclosure data should not be attributed to every product with a similar name or identical length.

Specify shade and version separately

Colour temperature in Kelvin describes the shade of white light. It does not measure the amount of light and should not be compared as a substitute for lumen. When selecting several fittings, retain the exact variant designation and check the lighting data for each item, together with its size and housing.

If you need another industrial format, continue to industrial luminaires. For a design with special requirements, there is a separate explosion-protected luminaires section. A moisture-protected designation does not replace the exact requirements for such a version or establish that any fitting is suitable for it.

For an overview, return to industrial lighting. When reordering, compare the full reference, not just the family name. Have the size, required lighting characteristics and environmental conditions to hand so that every candidate can be assessed against the same criteria.
