General Information About LED Tunnel Lights
What are LED Tunnel Lights?
LED Tunnel lights install on the walls and ceilings of tunnels. They provide light in what would otherwise be a very dark space.
Do I Need Corrosive Resistant LED Tunnel Lights Fixtures?
Not in all cases, it will depend on the ventilation in the tunnels and the size of the tunnels. You will need corrosive-resistant fixtures if there is a high concentration of carbon dioxide. This can eat away at the fixture inside and out over time. To stop that from happening, you need a corrosive-resistant or vapor-tight fixture.
Where concentrations of CO2 are not high, powder-coated or polycarbonate fixtures work fine. Send us your requirements and we can recommend the right solution for your needs.
I Have Both 400 Watt and 1000 Watt Metal Halide Fixtures in a Tunnel. What’s a comparable LED Wattage?
LED Tunnel Lights vary on lumen per watt output. Many fixtures are 100 to 130 lumens per watt. Others are 130 to 150 lumens per watt. And there are some over 150 lumens per watt. The more lumens per watt, you’ll need fewer watts to produce the same amount of light.
To replace a 400 Watts metal halide you need 15000 to 25000 lumens. To replace a 1000 Watt metal halide you need 39000 to 50000 LED lumens. The best way to determine the exact amount of watts/lumens you need is to create a lighting plan.
What Type of Fixtures Should You Use for Road Tunnel Lighting?
It depends on where the fixtures are mounted and the type of tunnel. We’ve got corrosive-resistant LED Canopy Lights, LED Flood Lights, linear fixtures, and vapor-proof fixtures. They’re designed to handle exhaust gases. With optics to provide proper illumination on the roadway below.
We’ve also found you might need explosion-proof fixtures (C1D1 / C1D2).

Do You Have a Certificate to Show These Lights Are Certified for Tunnel Use?
There is no tunnel certification standard. There are key features you want to make sure your tunnel lighting has. IP65 + rated if the tunnels are wet. They have the mounting you need. They’re corrosive resistant and provide the right level and optic for your application.
The other important aspect is the direction you install the lights. You want to make sure your lighting plan keeps the light out of the drivers’ eyes. As that can create an unsafe environment. We can help you determine this.
