A 2-foot LED vapor-proof utility fixture with an integrated microwave sensor and emergency battery backup, built for demanding indoor and covered outdoor spaces like garages, warehouses, and parking garages.
The Nuvo Lighting 65-838 is a rugged, gray polycarbonate fixture designed to withstand harsh conditions. With IP65 and IK08 ratings, it resists water, dust, and impact. The integrated microwave sensor automatically controls the light based on motion, and the emergency backup provides 90 minutes of illumination during power outages. Three selectable color temperatures (3000K, 4000K, 5000K) let you choose the ambiance, while the 20W LED delivers up to 2505 lumens.
Best for
- Garages and workshops where motion-activated lighting improves convenience and energy savings
- Warehouses and storage areas needing reliable, low-maintenance illumination with emergency backup
- Covered parking garages, loading docks, and other wet locations (IP65 rated)
- Utility rooms and basements where a durable, long-lasting light is essential
- Industrial or commercial spaces requiring a fixture that can handle 120-347V input
Not ideal for
- Residential living areas or decorative applications - this is a utilitarian fixture
- Spaces where a warm, incandescent-like light is preferred (minimum 3000K)
- Areas requiring a sleek, low-profile design - the fixture protrudes nearly 4 inches
How bright is it?
2164 to 2505 lumens - comparable to a 150W incandescent bulb. This is sufficient for task lighting in a single-car garage or as general ambient light in a small warehouse bay. For larger spaces, multiple fixtures may be needed.
Light color and feel
Three selectable color temperatures: 3000K (soft white, warm and cozy), 4000K (cool white, neutral and crisp), and 5000K (daylight, bright and energizing). The 80+ CRI ensures decent color rendering for most utility tasks. The fixture is dimmable with a compatible dimmer.
Sizing and fit
Overall dimensions: 23.62" length x 4.84" width x 3.54" height. The fixture is designed for surface mounting on ceilings or walls. The 2-foot length is ideal for narrow corridors or above workbenches. Weighs only 3.31 lbs for easy installation.
