Vapor Proof Lights – Applications & Options

Vapor proof lights are typically found where structural fortitude and the ability to handle hazards matter most. These locations include parking garages; laundry facilities; transportation centers; subways, tunnels; barns; riding arenas; sports facilities, swimming pools; locker rooms, public bathrooms; car washes; stairwells; under canopies; automotive repair facilities; and food-processing facilities including walk-in freezers, kitchens, bakeries, and ice cream shops.
