An illumination system engineered for exposure to the real world.
Wet Light Systems is a unified electrical and mechanical architecture that transforms how luminaires are designed, assembled, and installed in environments where traditional lamp and socket systems fall short.
By isolating the electrical elements and rethinking how sockets are integrated, Wet Light has created a new category:
Modular, encapsulated luminaires suitable for dust tight, liquid deluge (IP66) and liquid immersion (IP68) environments.
IP66 Certified to IEC 60598-1 Pressure Wash Deluge
IP68 Validated to 1.5m (5ft) Continuous Immersion
How Wet Light Works
Say goodbye to yesterday's outdoor lighting.
Wet location luminaire requirements unnecessarily limit design freedoms.
As a result of legacy protection strategies, luminaire design has long suffered from Jelly Jar Syndrome (JJS). see exhibit a.
exhibit a: The luminaire's candelabra lamp is covered by a metal cap, the socket is shielded with a ceramic sleeving, and the entire system is enclosed in borosilicate glass to isolate it from the real world.
Embrace the elements in your design language
With Wet Light Systems, luminaire design is no longer restrained by the real environment.
Wet Light's patented protection and connectivity architecture isolates electrical components to create luminaire, light engine and optical design freedom.
Create your own illumination formats
Choose from standard formats like A19, MR16 and PAR30, or work with us to create your own.
Specify light emitting surface, optic element, and lamp shape to optimize performance and aesthetics to the intended application.
Select your own integration pathway
There's more than one way to screw in this light bulb, including ditching the threads altogether.
Wet Light subsystems for socket retention, cable entry, and electrical interfacing come with tailorable options to ease integration.

Where Wet Light Works
Residential | Multi-Fam | Landscape
Decorative
One light source can be propagated across a complete family of luminaires. Central power distribution can be utilized to simplify installation and maintenance.
Plug-in | Rechargeable | Torches
Portables
Typical outdoor portables still require hiding the light sources, limiting design potential. Create truly durable portables with replaceable light sources and better aesthetics.
Events | Temporary Installs
Event Installations
Remote power feeds are a primary benefit of Wet Light Systems. Daisy-chain luminaires and avoid heavy, obtrusive cable runs.
More Applications
-
Marine, Ships, Yachts
Incorporate decorative elements without worry of typical corrosion or early failures.
-
Hospitality Projects
Match indoor and outdoor aesthetics with common components and reduced BOM costs.
-
Amphibious Vehicles
Wet Light is designed for Harsh and hazardous conditions with exposed illumination sources.
