Jelly Jar Lights

What are Jelly Jar Lights?

Jelly jar lights are a specific type of vapor proof fixture and are commonly found in commercial applications. Vapor proof fixtures, or vapor tight fixtures, are industrial fixtures that are sealed, gasketed, and rated for damp or wet locations. Jelly jar vapor proof fixtures are called this because their housing resembles a Mason jar, yet the protective outer cage protects them from smashing or breaking. These fixtures are designed to withstand harsh indoor or outdoor environments. Again, the seal is there to protect the jelly jar light's internal components from fumes, dust, moisture, rust and corrosion.

Common locations you might find a jelly jar light fixture include:

• Barns and stables
• Tunnels 
• Maintenance buildings
• Building exteriors
• Pool and swim areas
• Emergency warning lights (red lamps)
• Safety communications indicators (blue lamps)

Jelly jar light fixtures can be mounted via wall mount, box mount, or pendant mount. Jar Vapor Tight Fixtures are jar-shaped fixtures that are specifically designed to withstand harsh indoor or outdoor environments. They are sealed and gasketed to protect their internal components from fumes, dust, moisture, rust and corrosion. Vapor tight jelly jar light fixtures have impact and heat-resistant glass which is shielded by a durable metal casing.
