What’s Natatorium Rated Mean?

There is no ‘rating’ per se, but there are lights rated to work within the natatorium environment. Natatorium Rated LED Lights are always exposed to high humidity, water and chlorine. So the fixture’s rating should withstand this type of environment.

Using tempered glass lenses on our High Bay LED Lights, and using the epoxy finish/powder coat will protect the fixture from corrosion. The body of the UFO LED Lights is cast aluminum which performs very well in this type of environment. Additionally, any fixture used should be IP65 or higher.

Should I Use New Fixtures or Can I Retrofit?

Many natatoriums use ‘up-lighting’ that shines light against a reflective ceiling. This is a great way to reduce, if not cut, glare. These fixtures are also expensive. Retrofitting is a great option. It allows you to convert to LED and keep the investment in your existing up-lighting. The existing fixture must be in reusable condition if retrofitting. Otherwise, replacing is the way to go.

We sell retrofit kits to retrofit up-light fixtures. We do offer flood lights and other fixtures that can aim upwards like an up-light.
