FAQ

What is "UL wet location" lighting?

Definition: UL wet locations are unsheltered outdoor areas that are exposed to direct contact with rain, etc.

Shop for UL wet fixtures: Browse the entire list of UL wet-rated fixtures, or see our Porch Lighting group, which contains both UL wet and UL damp fixtures.

Tips:

  • When shopping for porch or outdoor lights, see the "UL Location" line in each fixture's "Specifications" box for its UL rating.
  • We cannot upgrade UL fixtures rated damp or dry to UL wet-location standards. None of our lights are designed, recommended, or safe for installation directly inside showers.
  • Outdoor UL lighting requirements can vary in different areas; consult with an electrician if you have questions.
  • Need help with our UL options? Email or call Customer Service at 888-401-1900.
