Hidden Threat in Outdoor Lighting – Pressure and Humidity
LED-based outdoor lighting; It has important advantages such as long life, energy saving and low maintenance requirement. However, these products are not resistant to outdoor conditions.becoming more durableis essential for the continuity of their performance on the field.
Factors such as condensation, condensation, increased internal pressure and deformation of seals both reduce optical performance and shorten the life of electronic components.
Emerging Technical Problems and Their Effects
1. Condensation and Condensation
In luminaires that heat up during the day and cool down rapidly at night, the indoor-outdoor temperature differenceto condensationIt leads. This is especially true for LEDs with transparent glass.reduces light output, reduces optical performance and affects user satisfaction.
2. Sealing Problems
Closed structures cause increased internal pressure. this tooseals deteriorate over time, high protection classes such as IP67/IP68 become invalid andwater-dust inletcauses.
3. Electronic Malfunctions
Increased humidity causes damage to drivers, LED modules and connectors.oxidation and corrosioncreates. This causes electronic malfunctions andshortening product lifecauses.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a pressure balancing valve?
It is a valve system that prevents moisture and condensation by equalizing the air pressure between the outdoor and indoor environment and protects the leak-proof structure.
Why does condensation occur in outdoor fixtures?
The day-night temperature difference causes evaporation and condensation inside the armature. This increases condensation and moisture formation over time.
What does IP68 valve do?
It completely prevents the entry of water and dust, allowing the device to breathe. In this way, the internal parts remain dry and the protection class remains intact.
In which products is it recommended to use valves?
It is recommended for use in all outdoor lighting, especially glass LED fixtures and products requiring high IP protection.
If you want your lighting systems to last longer, be safer and pass IP tests successfully, meet Ventideal.
