Beacon
Rated for weather it will probably never see.
What it is for
Architectural and out-of-home. IP66 front and back — not the IP65-front / IP54-rear split most of the industry quietly ships — with a 10,000-nit peak that holds legibility with the sun directly behind the viewer.
What it is not for
Anything indoors. The brightness floor is higher than a room can comfortably take, and you would be paying for a sealed enclosure you do not need.
