IP is the international code used to recognize the level of protection Ip rating consists of two numbers, the first number indicates dustproof; the second number indicates waterproof, the larger the number indicates the better the level of protection.

Dust Protection Level

Number Degree of protection Definition

0 No protection No special protection

1 Protected against objects larger than 50mm Protected against inadvertent human contact with internal parts of the luminaire Protected against objects larger than 50mm in diameter

2 Protected against objects larger than 12mm Protected against fingers touching the internal parts of the luminaire.

3 Protected against objects larger than 2.5mm Protected against tools, wires or objects with a diameter larger than 2.5mm.

4 Protected against objects larger than 1.0mm Protected against flies, insects or objects larger than 1.0mm in diameter.

5 Dustproof Not completely dustproof, but the amount of dust intrusion does not affect the normal operation of the electrical system.

6 Dustproof Completely dustproof

Water Resistance

No. Degree of protection Definition

0 No protection No special protection

1 Protected against dripping water Protected against vertical dripping of water

2 Protection against dripping water even when tilted at 15 degrees Protection against dripping water even when the luminaire is tilted at 15 degrees

3 Protection against sprayed water Protection against rain, or water sprayed vertically at an angle of less than 50 degrees.

4 Protected against splashing water Protected against splashing water from all directions.

5 Protected against water intrusion from large waves Protected against water intrusion from large waves or rapid jets of water from water jets

6 Protection against water intrusion from large waves The luminaire is protected from water intrusion for a certain period of time or under water pressure to ensure that the luminaire operates normally.

7 Protection against intrusion of water from water intrusion The luminaire is immersed in water for an indefinite period of time and under certain conditions of water pressure, and the normal operation of the luminaire is ensured.

8 Protection against the effects of submersion
