21 Watt LED Vapor Tight Jelly Jar Light | 2520 Lumens | 5000K | 100-277V

Product Overview

The 21 Watt LED Vapor Tight Jelly Jar Light is a compact, wall-mounted fixture designed for wet or damp environments where durability and reliable illumination are required. This unit delivers 2520 lumens at 5000K, providing clear, neutral-white light suitable for utility spaces and areas exposed to moisture or washdown conditions. Typical installations include wall mounting in parking garages, washdown zones, and utility rooms, often as a direct replacement for 100W metal halide jelly jar fixtures.

The fixture is built for environments where exposure to water, humidity, or cleaning chemicals is routine. Its die-cast aluminum housing and IP65 rating ensure protection against dust and water jets, making it suitable for both indoor and covered outdoor locations.

Core Performance and Output

This fixture outputs 2520 lumens at 21 watts, achieving an efficacy of 120 lumens per watt. The 160° beam angle provides wide, uniform coverage for wall-adjacent areas, corridors, and utility spaces. The 5000K color temperature supports high-visibility tasks and general area lighting.

Electrical performance includes 100-277V operation, a power factor above 0.90, and 1-10V dimming capability for integration with compatible controls. Output is appropriate for mounting heights up to 12 feet; at lower heights, light levels may be higher than needed for some applications. Wider spacing may reduce uniformity in large open areas.

Adjustability and Control Options

This vapor tight fixture supports 1-10V dimming, allowing for basic light level adjustment when paired with compatible dimming systems. The wide beam angle is fixed and not field-adjustable. No integrated motion or daylight sensors are included; external controls must be specified separately if required.

The fixture is designed for wall mounting only. There are no tilt or aiming adjustments. All wiring and dimming connections are accessible via the rear housing for straightforward installation and maintenance.

Longevity and Reliability

The fixture is rated for 50,000 hours (L70), supporting long-term operation in demanding environments. The die-cast aluminum housing and polycarbonate lens resist impact, corrosion, and chemical exposure typical in washdown and utility areas.

IP65 ingress protection prevents water and dust intrusion during routine cleaning or exposure to weather. The fixture maintains consistent output and color over its rated life, minimizing maintenance intervals in hard-to-access locations.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

This jelly jar light features a compact form factor, measuring 12.64 inches in height and 5 inches in depth, with a total weight of 4 pounds. The die-cast aluminum housing is finished in gray and paired with a durable lens for impact resistance.

All components are sealed to meet IP65 requirements. The fixture is UL listed and suitable for use in wet locations. Wall mounting hardware is included, and the fixture is designed for direct surface installation on standard junction boxes.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fixture is intended for wet or damp environments where reliable, low-maintenance lighting is required. It is commonly installed in utility spaces, parking garages, and washdown areas, as well as locations where exposure to water, humidity, or cleaning chemicals is routine.

• washdown area lighting
• parking garage lighting
• utility room lighting
• cold storage lighting
• car wash lighting
• stairwell lighting
• outdoor covered walkway lighting
• wastewater facility lighting

Environmental characteristics include resistance to water jets, dust, and cleaning agents. The fixture is suitable for both indoor and covered outdoor use, but not for direct submersion or hazardous locations.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The fixture is designed for wall mounting using standard junction boxes. All wiring connections are accessible from the rear, and the compact size allows installation in tight or low-clearance areas. The 21W power draw supports energy-efficient operation on existing 100-277V circuits.

Routine maintenance is minimal due to the sealed housing and long LED lifespan. Lens cleaning and periodic inspection of mounting hardware are recommended in environments with frequent washdown or chemical exposure. The fixture is not intended for ceiling or pendant mounting.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 8 to 12 feet, with fixtures spaced to provide overlapping coverage along walls, corridors, or perimeter walkways. In parking garages and washdown areas, units are often installed at regular intervals to maintain uniform light levels and minimize shadowing.

Spacing and layout depend on the required light level and the reflectivity of surrounding surfaces. Higher output per fixture can reduce the total fixture count but may increase glare if installed at low mounting heights or in confined spaces.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fixture is UL listed and IP65 rated. It meets requirements for wet location installation and is eligible for utility rebates where applicable. The product includes a 5-year warranty covering manufacturing defects and LED performance.

All electrical and safety certifications are documented for code compliance. The fixture is suitable for use in environments requiring sealed, vapor-tight construction but is not rated for hazardous or classified locations.
