“Our new Winline 607 LED Submersible Light, having already received industry accolades, continues the Winona Lighting tradition”

Part of the WinonaLED™ product family, the Winline 607 LED Submersible Light is an LED linear water-cooled submersible luminaire. Available in various color temperatures and in sizes from 30” to 54” in length, the fixture delivers up to 1840 lumens per foot. Its stainless steel end cap and pure copper center tube, as well as its high-impact UV resistant polycarbonate lens material, make it ideal for landscaping applications that require submersible luminaires. The Winline 607 LED Submersible Light incorporates a patent pending method called Cool Core Technology, used to keep the fixture from overheating. This technique moves water through a pure copper heat-sink, providing maximum cooling to the LEDs. Designed to be the most powerful, reliable and easiest to implement submersible LED luminaire, the Winline 607 LED Submersible Light is suitable for installations up to 3 meters deep.
