Are IP65 LED Emergency Exit Bulkhead Lights Waterproof?

Yes. IP65 LED Emergency Exit Bulkhead Lights are specifically designed for indoor and outdoor emergency lighting applications throughout the UK. Their IP65-rated enclosure protects against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making them suitable for warehouses, factories, car parks, external escape routes, schools, hospitals, and commercial buildings. While they perform exceptionally well in wet weather conditions, they are not designed to be fully submerged in water.

Can they be used in coastal environments?

Yes. IP65 LED Emergency Exit Bulkhead Lights can be installed in coastal environments where humidity and salt air are common. Their weather-resistant housing helps minimise corrosion and moisture damage, extending the lifespan of the fitting. However, regular cleaning and maintenance are recommended to preserve performance in highly corrosive coastal locations across the UK.

Can they be submerged in water?

No. Although IP65 LED Emergency Exit Bulkhead Lights provide excellent protection against rain and water jets, they are not designed for complete submersion. Installing them underwater may damage the internal electrical components and invalidate warranties. For submerged applications, products with IP67 or IP68 protection ratings should be used instead.
