Certification
Our products are tested and certified by CSA International per UL1838 for wet location landscape use or UL1598 for wet location wall mount and ceiling mount use. For complete information regarding this National Recognized Testing Laboratory, click on this link: http://www.csa-international.org .
Materials
Vision3 products are CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, C36000 brass, and 304 stainless steel or precision cast from C84400 manganese bronze and 356 marine-grade aluminum. Other components used to produce light fixtures that will endure the harshest of environments include: high-temperature silicone O-rings and gaskets, borosilicate tempered glass lenses, porcelain sockets with Teflon® coated leads, and black-oxide stainless steel hardware.
Pre-Treatment
Our machined and cast aluminum fixtures are pre-treated with a hexavalent chromium-free RoHS compliant coating prior to being powder coated with TGIC thermoset polyester powder coat. This six step process is vital to providing maximum corrosion resistance and a powder coat finish that will endure years of environmental abuse.
Natural Materials
We use only the highest quality raw materials and components to manufacture our lighting products, including: copper-free aluminum, solid brass, stainless steel, and cast bronze. These materials are comprised of metals that occur naturally in the earth and can be recycled. We minimize the use of composite plastics that create waste and normally get dumped into landfill sites. The metals we use in our products are 100% recyclable.
Finishes
We have fourteen (14) standard TGIC polyester powder coat finishes. RAL and Custom finishes are available at a premium charge. Consult your local Vision3 Lighting representative for information on these premium finishes. Machined brass and machined stainless steel products are available in three additional metal finishes. Cast Bronze products are available in two additional metal finishes. Consult your local Vision3 Lighting representative for standard finish samples. See FINISHES (click link).
Warranty
Machined and cast aluminum components are warranted for 5 years against material defects. Machined brass and stainless steel components are warranted for 25 years against corrosion and material defects. Cast Bronze components are warranted for 25 years against corrosion and material defects. Electrical components, such as lamps & ballasts, carry the original manufacturer’s warranty.
