Engineered for Extreme Maritime Environments

The Phoenix Lighting Brass LED VP Series vaporproof marine lighting represents the pinnacle of durability and reliability for the most demanding maritime and industrial applications. Engineered specifically to withstand the world’s harshest saltwater environments, this saltwater-resistant LED fixture features a rugged die-cast brass construction that provides superior corrosion resistance where standard fixtures fail. Ideal for deployment on tugboats, barges, offshore oil platforms, drilling rigs, and commercial fishing vessels, this fixture delivers unwavering performance in high-vibration environments while ensuring crew safety in critical areas such as walkways, stairwells, and exterior decks. The brass construction and marine-grade components make this fixture the preferred choice for maritime engineers and vessel operators seeking lighting solutions that will withstand constant exposure to moisture, salt spray, and extreme conditions.

Industry-Leading Specifications and Safety Certifications

This hazardous location lighting solution delivers impressive performance with its 17W LED technology that produces 1300 lumens of clear, consistent illumination while being sealed in optically clear silicone for maximum protection. With an exceptional IP66 rating and operating temperature range of -30°C to +40°C, this fixture performs reliably in both frigid and warm conditions. Maritime professionals will appreciate the comprehensive safety certifications, including UL 1598A Marine Outside Type (Saltwater) and UL 844 Hazardous Location ratings for Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D environments. The fixture comes equipped with marine-grade 316 stainless steel external hardware, fully potted Class 2 rated driver with over-voltage protection, and a 50,000-hour rated service life that virtually eliminates maintenance needs in difficult-to-access areas. Enhance your vessel or facility’s safety, compliance, and operational efficiency today with Phoenix Lighting’s proven vaporproof solution that has been trusted in maritime applications for decades.

Spec Sheet For VP Brass Series

  1. What makes this fixture suitable for saltwater environments?

    The die-cast brass housing and marine-grade 316 stainless steel hardware provide unmatched corrosion resistance, outperforming aluminum or standard stainless steel in prolonged salt spray, fog, and high-humidity conditions. Brass inherently resists galvanic corrosion, critical for offshore and coastal installations.

  2. Does it meet hazardous location requirements?

    Yes. It’s UL 844-certified for Class I, Division 2, Groups A-D (flammable gases/vapors) and UL 1598A Marine Outside Type (Saltwater) compliant. Ideal for fuel storage areas, engine rooms, and offshore platforms where explosive atmospheres may occur.

  3. How does the IP66 rating perform in real-world conditions?

    The IP66 rating ensures complete protection against heavy hose-directed water (e.g., deck washdowns) and dust ingress. The sealed silicone gaskets and fully potted driver prevent moisture penetration even in submersion scenarios up to 1 meter temporarily.

  4. What maintenance is required over its lifespan?

    Virtually maintenance-free. The LED array and driver are rated for 50,000 hours (≈11 years at 12h/day). Brass construction eliminates rust-related degradation, while the optically clear silicone lens resists yellowing and abrasion.

  5. Can it withstand extreme temperature fluctuations?

    Yes. Operates reliably from -30°C to +40°C (-22°F to 104°F). The thermal management system uses a copper-core PCB and passive cooling fins to stabilize LED junction temperatures in Arctic cold or engine-room heat.

  6. Is it compatible with vessel voltage systems?

    Supports 120-277V AC with universal voltage input. Includes a Class 2 driver with surge protection (up to 6kV) to handle voltage spikes common in marine power grids.

  7. How does it perform in high-vibration areas?

    The brass housing dampens vibrations 3x better than aluminum. LEDs are mounted on a shock-absorbent silicone base, and all internal components are mechanically secured to MIL-STD-810G standards for marine/off-road use.

  8. What beam angles and CCT options are available?

    Standard: 120° beam angle for wide-area coverage. Customizable to 60° (spot) or 90° (flood). Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) options: 5000K (daylight) or 4000K (neutral white) for optimal visibility in foggy conditions.

  9. Why choose brass over polymer housings?

    Brass offers superior heat dissipation (critical for LED longevity) and does not degrade under UV exposure like polymers. It also provides EMI shielding, reducing interference with onboard navigation systems.

  10. Is it compliant with international maritime regulations?

    Yes. Meets ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) and IEC 60529 standards. Documentation includes DNV-GL and Lloyd’s Register compliance packs for global fleet deployments.
