Conduit vs cord grip – Why installation is so important

khudson • September 1, 2020

Conduit:

  • Access to the luminaire is required to hardwire – higher probability for warranty returns
  • Typical conduit connection is prone to condensation creep into the luminaire
  • Higher cost to make junction box connection to luminaire water tight
  • Permanent hardwired – not easily moved
  • Conduit wired connection electrical installation more expensive

Cord Grip:

  • Luminaire quality maintained – no access required to enter the fixture to wire minimizing problems for OEM returns
  • Lower cost to make connection to luminaire water tight
  • Plug wired connection – easily moved
  • Simplifies maintenance or replacement
  • Offline cleaning in demanding environments
