Passes the 850°C Glow Wire Test. Survives the Pressure Wash. Keeps the Lights On.

A 4FT IP65/IK08 tri-proof fixture with 130 lm/W, modular design, and industrial-grade safety certifications. For warehouses, supermarkets, parking garages, and food processing — where fixtures face water, dust, impact, and fire safety requirements simultaneously.

IP65 + IK08 + 850°C Glow Wire — Triple-Threat Protection

IP65 keeps water and dust out. IK08 survives impacts from equipment and pallet jacks. 850°C glow wire certification means the housing won't ignite or propagate fire. Three independent safety certifications in one fixture.

Modular Design for Easy Maintenance Access

Slotted iron board construction allows component-level access without replacing the entire fixture. In facilities with hundreds of vapor tights, modular serviceability reduces maintenance costs dramatically.

130 lm/W — Efficient Even in Harsh Environments

High efficacy with power factor >0.9 means you need fewer fixtures to hit target illumination levels, even in the demanding conditions where vapor tights are required. Fewer fixtures = less installed cost + less maintenance.

100–277V Universal Voltage + 100–347V Option

Covers standard commercial and Canadian commercial voltage ranges. For facilities spanning both countries or with mixed electrical systems, one fixture SKU handles all standard voltages.

Suitable for Supermarkets, Car Washes, and Parking Garages

The tri-proof rating (water, dust, impact) makes this fixture appropriate for the wet aisles in supermarkets, the high-humidity zones in car washes, and the vehicle exhaust environments in parking garages.

Car Wash & Wet Locations

Car wash tunnels subject fixtures to constant water spray, chemical foaming agents, extreme humidity, and 40°F–130°F temperature cycling that rapidly degrades non-sealed lighting. The AN-VF4FT 40W IP65-sealed gasketed housing and UV-stabilized polycarbonate lens withstand direct water jets and chemical exposure while delivering 5,200 lumens at 130 lm/W. This exceeds IES RP-7 requirements of 20–50 fc for vehicle service environments in a cost-effective 4ft package. Non-rated fixtures in car wash environments typically fail every 12–18 months, costing $150–250 per replacement in labor and materials — the VF4FT eliminates this cycle. Design your car wash tunnel lighting layout with LightSpec AI free tool to verify uniform coverage across wash and rinse zones.
