The One Fixture Rated for Cold Storage, Car Washes, and Agricultural Barns.

An 8FT IP65 vapor tight with field-tunable wattage (45/60/70/80W), 3CCT selection, 130 lm/W, and 12V auxiliary output for IoT sensors. When the environment is wet, cold, corrosive, or all three — this fixture was built for it.

IP65 — Sealed Against Water Jets, Dust, and Chemical Exposure

Car wash bays, food processing lines, cold storage freezers, and agricultural buildings generate conditions that destroy standard fixtures in months. IP65 sealing keeps water, dust, and airborne chemicals completely out.

Field-Tunable Wattage (45/60/70/80W) — Adapt to the Space

Set the wattage on-site to match actual ceiling height and required light levels. No over-lighting narrow aisles or under-lighting open processing areas — just dial in the right output per zone.

3CCT Selection for Food Processing Compliance

Food processing and inspection areas have specific color temperature requirements. Select 3500K, 4000K, or 5000K on the fixture to match the facility's FSMA or HACCP lighting requirements without special orders.

12V Auxiliary Output for IoT and Sensor Integration

Built-in 12V AUX powers occupancy sensors, temperature sensors, and IoT monitoring devices without separate wiring. In cold storage and agricultural facilities, this eliminates the need for dedicated low-voltage infrastructure.

Durable Polycarbonate Lens + High-Impact Housing

Frosted polycarbonate lens resists impact from pressure washing wands, falling product, and agricultural equipment contact. The housing material doesn't corrode in high-humidity and chemical-exposure environments.
