Swimming pool lights IK grade?

What’s the IK grade of your swimming pool lights?

What’s the IK grade of your swimming pool lights? Today a client asked this question.

“Sorry sir,we do not have any IK grade for the swimming pool lights”we answered embarrassed.

Firstly,what’s the IK mean ?IK grade refers to the evaluation of the impact grade of the electrical equipment housing, the higher the IK grade, the better the impact performance, that mean,the stronger the resistance of the equipment when it is impacted by external forces.

The correspondence between the IK code and its corresponding collision energy is as follows:

IK00-non-protective

IK01-0.14J

IK02-0.2J

IK03-0.35J

IK04-0.5J

IK05-0.7J

IK06-1J

IK07-2J

IK08-5J

IK09-20J

IK10-20J

General speaking, outdoor lamps only the in-ground lamps require an IK grade, because it is buried in the ground, there may be wheels run over or pedestrians step on the damaged lamp cover, so it will require an IK grade.
