Infographic: What is a tri-proof LED batten luminaire?

Tri-proof means protected three ways: against water, against dust and against impact. A tri-proof LED batten luminaire usually has an IP65 or IP66 rating and an impact-resistant cover. This makes it suitable for damp, dusty or harsh environments, such as garages, car parks, warehouses, workshops, livestock barns and cold stores.
