Condensation can be a natural by-product

of this design. When moist air enters the

lamp assembly through the vents, there is

a possibility that condensation can occur

when the temperature is cold. When

normal condensation occurs, a fine mist

can form on the interior of the lens. The

fine mist eventually clears and exits
