When considering wash-down lighting, keep in mind that a wipe-down cleaning regimen in a clean-room may still use caustic chemicals that can deteriorate a light’s metal or plastic housing, adding to contamination rather than mitigating it. The materials used in the housings for wash-down lighting are specifically designed to mitigate the effects of caustic chemicals used in high-pressure and often in wipe-down methods of cleaning.
Advanced Illumination’s UltraSeal™ Series of LED lighting is purpose-built to perform in extreme wash-down environments and features a rare IP69K rating. From liquid immersion to high-pressure steam to corrosive solutions, UltraSeal products stand up to the realities of what “wash-down” means, both Cleaning and Disinfection.
UltraSeal lights feature a patented design that is virtually crevice-free, making them ideal for hygienic inspection environments, aseptic manufacturing and packaging, food and beverage applications and any application where a commitment to wash-down protocols is essential to helping ensure consumer safety.

The LZEW300 300mm Bar Light features a first-of-its-kind FDA-compliant non-stick finish, applied to a 2-pound aluminum housing. This is a cost-effective, lightweight IP68 lighting solution. In addition to a choice of beam angles, the LZEW300 offers single-connector or 2-connector daisy-chain versions to reduce cabling requirements.
A 316 stainless steel housing option is available for a more traditional wash-down enclosure.
The IP68 Diffused Ring Light Panel is available in 190mm X 190mm, 300mm X 300mm, 450mm X 450mm, and 600mm X 600mm.
The Spectrum Illumination WMDL7 is a compact IP68-rated 7-inch diameter dome light.
both continuous and strobe operations.
The EFFI-FLEX-IP69K bar lights come standard with an AutoStrobe function that maintains 3X the standard brightness for 2 seconds, and then brings the output to standard brightness. Each time the trigger is detected, the light goes into AutoStrobe for added intensity.
For constant-on use, a standard driver is available.
The EFFI-FLEX bar lights can be configured with a choice of front window diffusion levels: Transparent, Semi-Diffuse, and Opaline. The LED beam angle is also factory-set to one of four positions, as shown below.
EFFI-FLEX IP69K lights may be configured for front-lit line scan imaging by including the LS Filter. The optional LS filter sits behind the Transparent Window and projects a tighter line of diffuse light across the field-of-view, as shown. As with any bar light application, there will be intensity fall-off near the ends of the bar light, so additional “overhang” should be included on each end when calculating the required bar light length.
The EFFI-FLEX-BL IP69K Linear Backlight features an opaline window and twice the density of LEDs within the light (compared to the EFFI-FLEX bar light) for a more even and intense background when used with a line scan camera. The backlights have a constant-on driver. The EFFI-FLEX-BL-IP69K backlight is the same physical size as the EFFI-FLEX-IP69K bar light.
Composed of 12 high powerful 405nm UV LEDs.
TPL Vision has introduced an IP69K version of its EBar bar light, with lengths up to 1,250mm. The food-grade compliant stainless-steel frame and smooth cylindrical surface stand up to cleaning solvents and high humidity.
TPL Vision also offers an IP69K back light with a similar form factor to the IP69K bar lights. A diffuser is used to provide wash-down-capable backlighting for line scan use or to provide diffuse front lighting at shorter working distances.
The same lengths and wavelengths are available.
