I'm from Sri Lanka. We have installed LED Floodlights from two different Italian Brands (I can mention the names if wanted) on two different sports grounds. Both fixtures are IP66 protected. Yet, both types had the issue of retaining water (mostly moisture) inside the LED compartment. This led to several tripping issues and had to replace several floodlights. When asked from the manufacturer, both mentioned that this has never occurred to them before, & they will provide replacements under warranty claim. But we have to be responsible for the client and this has made a bad reputation for us also.
Has anyone gone through the same problem as we had? Are Italian brands - generally considered the best- are not actually good? or are they not made for severe weather conditions?
