Vapor tight fixtures, also called “wet location” fixtures, are specifically designed to operate in environments where there is a high likelihood of water, humidity, and dust exposure. Their fixtures are sealed and gasketed to protect against the elements, making them ideal for outdoor and industrial applications. They typically have more durable construction of reinforced fiberglass or polycarbonate.
Vapor tight fixtures are used in any environment that has high exposure to water or other potentially harmful elements. They are usually mounted on ceilings, soffits, and walls, either outdoors or in commercial or industrial buildings.

Vapor tight fixtures eliminate the need for excessive and expensive maintenance.
