Built for the Field: Why Electricians Trust the LFY4-LED
March XX, 2025
A Light That Works as Hard as You Do
When you’re installing lights in tough environments—like parkades, industrial buildings, and agricultural facilities—you don’t have time for fixtures that slow you down. You need something durable, easy to install, and built to last. Because the longer the installation takes, the higher the budget.
That’s exactly why the RAB Design team developed the LFY4-LED. Instead of just designing another vapour-tight fixture in a lab, we talked to electricians—the people who install and maintain these lights—about their biggest frustrations. Then, we built a solution around what really matters on the job.
*Fixtures are sold with standard clips. Tamper-resistant clips, as shown here, can be purchased separately.
THE CHALLENGE
The Usual Fixtures Just Don't Cut It
Let’s be real—most vapour-tight fixtures are a hassle. You’re dealing with:
- Flimsy mounting clips that break or get lost.
- Bulky designs that make handling and installation awkward
- Extra steps that waste time, like drilling or switching between drill bits
- Poor durability, meaning more call-backs and replacements
Sound familiar? It’s the same feedback we heard from contractors in the field. That’s why we rethought every detail to create a light that makes your job easier.
Case in point, parkade lighting presents significant challenges, because existing fixtures are difficult to install, maintain, and lack durability. You need a fixture that is easy to handle, highly durable, and designed to reduce installation time—all while delivering superior lighting performance.
Because of this, David Beron, RAB Design president, took a unique approach to designing the LFY4-LED. He engaged 15 experienced foremen who shared their real-world frustrations and suggestions. These discussions shaped every aspect of the fixture’s design, ensuring it addressed practical concerns that standard vapour-tight fixtures overlooked.
“Every light has a story—a story of innovation built on feedback from the pros who use them,” says Beron. “With unmatched durability, efficiency, and ease of install, LFY lights are crafted to make contractors’ jobs easier and more profitable.”
THE SOLUTION
Built for Speed, Durability, and Simplicity
Here’s what sets the LFY4-LED apart from the standard fixtures:
Secure Mounting Clips
No more lost or broken clips. These stainless-steel clips stay put and don’t snap off when you’re installing.
Quick Disconnect Feature
Makes maintenance way faster. Just pop it off and put it back – no messing with extra wiring.
Less Fuss, Faster Install
With a two-part design (instead of the usual three), setup smoother and requires less handling.
Easy-to-Open Packaging
Because nobody likes wrestling with boxes on a ladder.
Standardized Hardware
No need to switch drill bits mid-install.
Built Tough
Water-resistant, impact-proof, and ready to handle whatever the job site throws at it.
THE RESULT
Performance That Saves You Time and Money
At the end of the day, we know time is money. Every extra step, every awkward fixture, and every call-back costs you. That’s why we built the LFY4-LED with electricians in mind—from secure mounting to quick maintenance.
“Every light we make is designed around real feedback from the pros who use them every day,” says Beron. “We’re not here to sell another standard fixture—we’re here to make your job easier.”
Besides being easy to install, the LFY4-LED delivers:
Serious Brightness
Available in 6400 and 9100 lumens for high-visibility workspaces
Lower Energy Costs
Efficient design cuts power consumption without sacrificing performance.
Longer Life
170,000-hour lifespan, so you won’t be replacing it anytime soon.
With a 5-year warranty and contractor-approved features, the LFY4-LED is built to last—and built to work for you.
