Tamper Proof Bulkhead Light Housing – IP65 Durable Outdoor Body

Have you ever been in a public space and seen a light fixture on the wall and had this nagging, intrusive thought of touching the light? Well, a lot of people give in to that same intrusive thought. Some are even worse. That’s the reality: lights in public spaces are prone to tampering, intentional or otherwise.

This bulkhead body addresses this concern by being constructed with a tamper-proof design and featuring a durable ABS base: a strong, durable, and impact-resistant thermoplastic material. The result? A robust light for enhanced security.

The body also has a polycarbonate diffuser, which helps with the glare. Just because a fitting is tamper-proof doesn’t mean the light it produces can’t be great. This bulkhead body is here to tell you it can be.

Here's the thing about outdoors lighting: it can be challenging, especially the harsh conditions you'll be putting your lights in. But, fortunately, that doesn’t mean you can’t have good outdoor lighting. This bulkhead body has an IP65 ingress protection rating, featuring excellent defence against dust, dirt, and water ingress. This high rating guarantees reliable performance even in a harsh environment like the outdoors.

If you didn’t know about IP ratings, or if you need a refresher, the first number indicates the level of dirt and dust (solids) protection, while the second number indicates the level of liquid protection.

The highest solid protection level is six, which means that this bulkhead body has maximum protection. The highest liquid protection level is eight (complete waterproofing).

What makes this bulkhead body versatile? It’s the ability to accommodate compatible LED bulkhead gear trays. These gear trays feature various designs and capabilities. Some come as simple LED lights with changeable colour temperatures. Others have more features added to them, like microwave motion sensors, dimming functions, and emergency backup lighting.

What this means for you is flexible lighting tailored to your specific needs for the space. A bulkhead body may house a different gear tray depending on the location you’re installing it in.

How about installation? Many gear trays come with quick-fit push terminals for easy installation. Compatible gear trays will also fit nicely into these bulkhead bodies. Note: compatible. So, it is necessary to check if the gear tray is suitable for this body.

Though bulkhead lights are getting more and more used in residential settings, commercial and industrial applications are still the ideal use for these versatile lights. They perform well in these settings for their ability to provide reliable lighting even in harsh environments, thanks to their durability and weather resistance.

But where to install them specifically, you may ask? Well, bulkhead lights are perfect for use in corridors, stairwells, and other areas requiring secure and durable lighting solutions. Think entrances and exits, warehouses, parking garages, loading docks, and outdoor perimeters. Most bulkhead lights are installed on the wall.

Bulkhead lights are generally used to light up high-traffic areas, ensuring safety and visibility.

Mounting this tamper-proof bulkhead body is a straightforward process. You can quickly and easily secure this to the wall or ceiling, even without the need for professional help (for DIY installation). This shortens overall setup periods, saving you time and money, especially when hiring a workforce to help you install your lights.

Installing the gear tray is another thing entirely; although it should also not be a problem since the compatible gear trays from Simple Lighting’s collection have quick-fit push terminals that also allow quick and easy installation.

In short, the whole process for getting this bulkhead light mounted from scratch is designed to be hassle-free, which both certified electricians and DIY enthusiasts will surely love.
