Waterproof Screen 60cm

60 cm waterproof screen for T8 LED tubes

The 60 cm waterproof screen resolves the small, damp spaces where a longer luminaire will not go or looks out of scale. It houses a 60 cm 9W T8 LED tube with a G13 base (two in the twin version) and protects it from dust and water with an IP65 rating. In a room two metres across, this is the size that works: a waterproof screen for 60cm tubes lights the whole space without getting in the way of doors, shelving or pipework.

Where the 60 cm size fits

Pump rooms and meter cupboards, service voids, small cold rooms, industrial washrooms and changing rooms, storerooms, cleaning cupboards, wash down areas and small greenhouses. They all share the same pattern: little ceiling run, ambient damp or splashing and a single supply point. Putting a 120 cm fitting in there means forcing the installation, leaving it hanging over a door frame or giving up on centring it.

IP65 in damp and service rooms

These spaces tend to be the harshest in a building: condensation in cold rooms, steam in wash down areas, limescale and splashing in pump rooms. IP65 means total protection against dust and resistance to water jets, so the tube and the wiring stay isolated from the environment and cleaning with a hose is no problem. The sealing gaskets and cable glands maintain that seal at the cable entry too.

9W per tube: how much light you need here

The FactorLED 60 cm T8 tube works at 9W. In a storeroom, a washroom or a meter cupboard, a single unit covers the space. If the ceiling is high or the space is used for work, the twin tube version doubles the power without taking up more wall length. For these uses, 4000K gives a comfortable neutral light and 6000K a cool white that reads brighter and helps pick out detail.

Installation and tube replacement

The polycarbonate or ABS body and the polycarbonate diffuser stand up to knocks, something a storeroom with boxes and bikes moving about will appreciate. The clip closure lets you open the fitting without a special tool, change the T8 tube and close it again with the seal intact. Because it is a luminaire that houses tubes rather than an integrated LED, in a few years you only replace the part that has reached the end of its life. Several models can be linked in line, useful when there are two or three rooms in a row along the same service corridor.

Choose your 60 cm waterproof screen at FactorLED, in single or twin tube version, and pick up the 9W T8 tubes you need at the same time. If you have room for more, take a look at the 120 and 150 cm sizes too.
