Maximize Your Benefits with ShineLong Rancher Car Wash Lighting
Lighting in car wash facilities is more than just illumination. From the moment a customer enters the tunnel, car wash lighting plays a critical role. It guides vehicles, ensures safety, enhances visual inspection, and creates an appealing atmosphere.

High-pressure water jets require lights with top waterproof performance.
Acidic and alkaline cleaners demand corrosion-resistant fixtures.
Constant humidity and steam can damage inferior lighting systems.
Dirt, foam, and mist scatter light, reducing visibility and coverage.

Lighting Needs at Each Car Wash Stage—and How Rancher Responds
An efficient LED car wash lighting system must support every stage of the cleaning process. Each zone in a car wash facility has unique lighting needs. The ShineLong Rancher light is designed to meet these demands with precision and reliability.
Entry and Guidance Zone
This zone is the customer’s first point of contact. Bright, focused lighting is essential to catch attention quickly and guide vehicles into the correct lanes. Rancher delivers up to 160 lm/W, offering outstanding visibility from a distance.
Its stable color temperature creates a professional, welcoming atmosphere. With an IP69K waterproof rating, Rancher performs reliably even in semi-outdoor or damp entry areas.
Pre-Wash and High-Pressure Zone
This area is exposed to water jets, foam, and cleaning chemicals. Rancher is built to handle it all. Its IP69K rating protects the fixture during 100-bar pressure washes at temperatures up to 80°C.
Made with 316L stainless steel and a chemical-resistant housing, it resists rust and corrosion. The shatterproof polycarbonate lens ensures long-term durability. Lighting remains consistent and glare-free, improving safety for operators in misty conditions.
Tunnel Wash Area
In tunnel washes, light coverage must be even from start to finish. Rancher’s linear structure supports seamless installations with no dark spots. This keeps the entire wash bay well-lit and visually balanced.
It also syncs with automated washing systems to support smooth operations. For enhanced customer experience, RGBW versions offer vibrant, customizable lighting effects. The sealed, fanless design ensures quiet, stable performance.
Inspection Zone
Accurate lighting is critical in inspection zones. Rancher features a CRI above 90, which reveals surface colors and minor flaws clearly. This helps technicians catch every detail, from paint scratches to tire damage.
Its adjustable brackets allow precise angle control. Whether inspecting wheel wells or undercarriages, light can be directed exactly where needed. With stable color temperatures like 4000K or 5000K, visual judgment becomes easier and more accurate.
Vacuum and Drying Area
This space deals with dust, humidity, and fluctuating temperatures. Rancher’s fully sealed body prevents moisture and debris from affecting performance. Its optical design is ideal for mid to low ceilings, ensuring balanced illumination inside and outside the vehicle.
Low power consumption keeps heat output minimal, making the environment more comfortable. With flexible mounting options, it fits around equipment without obstruction, supporting efficient and safe vehicle drying.
Exit and Ambience Area
At the final stage of the car wash, lighting plays a key role in creating a memorable experience. Rancher’s RGBW options support programmable scenes and dynamic effects, such as a soft “light curtain” as vehicles exit. Smooth color transitions add polish and reinforce your brand image.
With a 75,000-hour lifespan (L80), Rancher reduces maintenance costs. Its stable driver ensures consistent brightness and color, delivering reliable, flicker-free lighting that enhances the customer’s final impression.
