Paragon Lens Gasket

This gasket has a 5-inch diameter and is specifically designed for Paragon lighting fixtures. Before purchasing, measure your current lens or check your existing fixture housing to confirm it matches the 5-inch specification.

Yes, it is highly recommended. Gaskets compress over time to create a watertight seal, and once removed, they rarely regain their original shape or sealing capability. Replacing the gasket during bulb changes is a simple, inexpensive way to prevent water intrusion and protect your electrical components.

The most common indicators are condensation inside the light lens, visible water droplets, or signs of corrosion on the bulb base or electrical contacts. If you notice any of these, the seal has likely been compromised and should be replaced immediately.

No special tools or sealants are required. The gasket is designed to create a watertight seal through compression when the lens is tightened against the housing. Ensure the seating surface is clean and free of debris before installation to guarantee a proper fit.

As long as your fixture housing is compatible with this 5-inch gasket, it will function regardless of the bulb type inside. The gasket's primary job is to seal the housing, not to interact with the light source itself.
