VTSR 8-Foot Vapor Tight: Easy to Install, Built for Abuse, Ready for Smart Controls

For years, vapor-tight fixtures have been the go-to solution for tough environments like warehouses, food prep areas, and parking garages. The problem is that most are still difficult to install, complicated to wire for controls, and not always built to survive real-world abuse. The new VTSR 8-Foot Vapor Tight LED Series from Best Lighting Products is designed to change that. With simple installation features, rugged construction, and plug-and-play controls, it gives contractors, facility managers, and owners exactly what they need in one reliable package.

Installation Made Simple

Time is money on every job, and contractors don’t want to waste hours wiring sensors or fighting with complicated mounts. The VTSR streamlines the process by shipping with the features that matter most:

• Sensor-ready receptacle for plug-and-play controls without extra wiring.
• Pre-installed whips and cords for faster jobsite setup.
• Factory-installed emergency drivers that eliminate extra steps and keep projects code compliant.
• Surface mount kit and V-hooks included as standard, with optional cable mounts for suspended installs.

These details may look small on paper, but they solve some of the most common jobsite headaches. Instead of slowing down projects, the VTSR keeps crews moving and helps ensure a smooth handoff when the lights are turned on for the first time.

Rated for Anything

Parking garages, food prep areas, and wash-down zones all punish fixtures differently. Many vapor tights fail after repeated exposure to spray, dust, or impacts. The VTSR is built to thrive in these environments with industry-leading protection:

• IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings for water and dust resistance.
• IK10 impact rating to survive abuse in busy industrial spaces.
• Optional NSF certification for food service and cold storage compliance.
• -40°F to 122°F operating range for extreme hot or cold conditions.

For facility managers, this means fewer maintenance calls and fewer replacements. For building owners, it translates into a safer, more reliable lighting system that doesn’t add unexpected costs over time.

Smart Controls Without Extra Wiring

Lighting controls are often the hardest part of meeting energy codes. Traditional vapor tights require extra wiring or external modules that add cost and complexity. The VTSR takes a smarter approach. Its screw-in sensor port makes it simple to add PIR or microwave sensors and photocells. Programming can be done with a handheld remote, which means no need for rewiring or swapping parts in the field.

This approach helps contractors deliver code-compliant projects faster, while property managers get reliable controls that keep energy costs down without extra maintenance headaches.

Flexible Light Levels

One of the most versatile features of the VTSR is its field-selectable lumen output and color temperature. This allows a single model to adapt to a variety of spaces without forcing the buyer to pick one output in advance. Each fixture can be set on-site to match specific project needs:

• Lumen range: 9,386 to 12,716 lm (selectable).
• Color temps: 3500K, 4000K, or 5000K.
• Efficiency: up to 144 lm/W with 0-10V dimming standard.

For contractors, this flexibility reduces errors and makes stocking easier. For facility managers and owners, it ensures they can fine-tune light levels as spaces evolve, from warehouses to prep areas to utility corridors.

Applications Across Industries

Because the VTSR combines durability, flexibility, and ease of use, it fits a wide range of demanding environments. Here’s how it delivers in real-world applications:

Industrial facilities: Handles dust, vibration, and exposure to airborne particles, keeping production areas reliably lit.

Parking garages: Provides continuous, bright illumination in damp and drafty spaces. Adding a photocell sensor ensures the lights operate only when needed, cutting energy use.

Food service and cold storage: NSF compliance makes the VTSR ideal for kitchens, prep areas, and freezers. Its wide operating range keeps performance steady even in harsh conditions.

Commercial back-of-house: Utility rooms, loading docks, and mop areas are notoriously tough on fixtures. The VTSR’s IK10 impact rating helps it survive in these high-abuse spaces.

Why Contractors and Facility Managers Choose the VTSR

At the end of the day, this fixture checks the boxes that matter most:

• Easy install: Factory options and pre-installed components reduce labor time.
• Built to last: Rugged ratings extend fixture life and reduce maintenance costs.
• Smart ready: Plug-in controls for compliance and energy savings.
• Adaptable: Selectable lumen and CCT settings provide flexibility on-site.
