As LED lighting proliferates in automotive applications, so does condensation. That’s because LED lamps’ heat source is at the rear of the assembly, making the lens area the cold spot where condensation forms most easily. Often with unpleasant results: foggy, cloudy or streaky lenses, and lamps that don’t shine as brightly as when they left the showroom. Condensation could also compromise integrated sensors or other electronic devices.

This document provides performance characteristics and specifications for GORE® Automotive Vents AVS 22 and AVS 23, suitable for rear lamps. Featuring a laminate construction, these low-profile adhesive vents provide a secure bond to the housing.
