My Roof Leaks. Are the Lights Waterproof?

All our UFO lights are waterproof, with a rating of IP65 or greater. UFO Fixtures are the best option in this case. We do not offer any linear high bay fixtures that are waterproof. And if you are looking for canopy-style ceiling mount fixtures, all of those are also waterproof.

What Is the Difference Between Linear, UFO, and Canopy Fixtures? What Is Best for a Pole Barn?

A UFO-style light is a High Bay LED Light fixture that is round in shape. If you are familiar with metal halide indoor lighting, this is a great option for you. They are very robust in nature with a high impact rating and are also waterproof.

A linear fixture is a replacement for fluorescent fixtures if you like that style. They are not as robust as UFOs, and most are not waterproof. By nature and design, they offer better distribution than UFOs, especially in lower ceiling spaces.

Canopy lights are designed to be ceiling mounted and work at very low ceiling heights. They are good for ceilings that are between 8 and 12 feet tall.
