Ecosense’s Floodlight Bullet Mini was designed to handle the rugged conditions seen in the outdoor landscape lighting environment. Based on knowledge garnered from past outdoor rated fixtures, a focus was placed on a watertight solution and managing internal pressures that have been known to generate vacuum conditions.
Early investigations centered on a modular approach to the secondary optics for beam shaping and an interchangeable set of aesthetic accessories. A cast aluminum unibody simplifies the design by minimizing leak paths. A pressure balancing vent equalizes pressure and an internal potting well allows input wires to be fully sealed within the fixture to prevent capillary action and water wicking into the housing via the cable.
