How much do you know about IP grade?

In the market, you often see IP65, IP68, IP64, outdoor lights are generally waterproof to IP65,and underwater lights are waterproof IP68. How much do you know about water resistance grade? Do you know what the different IP stands for?

IPXX, the two numbers after IP, respectively represent dust and water resistance.

The first number after IP indicates dust prevention. Different numbers from 0 to 6 indicate the following:

0: No protection

1: Prevent solid substances greater than 50 mm from entering

2: Prevent the entry of solid substances greater than 12.5 mm

3: Prevent solid substances greater than 2.5 mm from entering

4: Prevent solid substances greater than 1 mm from entering

5: Prevent dust from entering

6: Completely dust proof

The second number after IP represents the waterproof performance, 0-8 represents the waterproof performance respectively:

0: No protection

1: Prevent vertical dripping into

2: Prevent water from entering the range of 15 degrees

3: It can prevent splashing water in the range of 60 degrees from entering

4: Prevent splashing water from any direction

5: Prevent low pressure jet water into

6: Prevent high pressure jet water into

7: Withstand short periods of immersion in water

8: Withstand prolonged immersion in water

The outdoor lamp IP65 is completely dust-proof and can prevent low-pressure jet water from entering the lamp, and IP68 is completely dust-proof and can withstand long-term immersion in water products.

As a product used for long-term immersion in water, the underwater light/pool light must IP68 certificated and undergo professional and rigorous testing to ensure long-term use.

Shenzhen Heguang Lighting Co., Ltd. has nearly 20 years of experience in the manufacturing of underwater pool lights, all new products will pass times of diving tests in the research and development stage (waterproof test of simulated water depth of 40 meters), and 100% of all ordered products pass 10 meters high pressure water depth test before shipment, to ensure that our customers receive pool lights/underwater lights that meet the quality requirements.
