GORE® Protective Vents for Lighting Enclosures
Lighting enclosure vents from Gore rapidly equalize pressure while blocking water and other airborne contaminants. This improves lighting service life and performance.
Reliable Solutions for Failed Seals and Condensation
GORE® Protective Vents for Lighting Enclosures equalize pressure to protect housing enclosures and seals, prevent contamination to protect electronics, and reduce condensation to protect against corrosion. They also reduce explosion hazards by effectively dissipating hazardous gas molecules.
The Smart Solution to Protect Lighting Enclosures
GORE Protective Vents help protect outdoor lighting enclosures from damage. They are proven to:
- provide rapid pressure equalization to extend seal life
- minimize condensation through effective vapor diffusion
- prevent entry of contaminants like dust, dirt and debris
- save weight and costs and eliminate the need for extra-hardened components
- reduce explosion hazards, while maintaining an effective barrier to liquids and particulates
GORE Protective Vents effectively protect against hazardous gas buildup.
