Condensation in Lamp Assemblies

Exterior lamps have vents to

accommodate normal changes in air

Condensation can be a natural by-product

of this design. When moist air enters the

lamp assembly through the vents, there is

a possibility that condensation can occur

when the temperature is cold. When

normal condensation occurs, a fine mist

can form on the interior of the lens. The

fine mist eventually clears and exits

through the vents during normal operation.

Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours

under dry weather conditions.

Examples of acceptable condensation are:

The presence of a fine mist (no streaks,

drip marks or large droplets).

A fine mist covers less than 50% of the

Examples of unacceptable condensation

A water puddle inside the lamp.

Streaks, drip marks or large droplets

present on the interior of the lens.

If you see any unacceptable condensation,
