LED waterproof lights - Best choice for outdoor lighting
LED outdoor lighting products often have short lifespan as they are exposed to weather changes, among which rain can have a fast destruction. Nowadays, LED lights are supplied with waterproof functions and LED waterproof lights have thus won trust at many projects.
Water impact
In the rainy season, a large amount of rainwaters falling for days leaves a major threat to outdoor electrical appliances like those used for lighting up the garden, the yard or the driveway. Once penetrated, water can cause electric short circuits and fire. A wet device cannot work as normal and its lifespan will be shortened. Besides, low temperature creates condensation water in the lighting device, thus damaging LED packages.
Rains can destroy lighting product quickly.
Short Circuited bulbs connected to the house’s electric wiring may cause fire. Therefore, outdoor lighting devices are in danger if they are not waterproof.
The best choice for outdoor lighting
LED waterproof light has been created to withstand the rigors of the rain. Waterproof function protects the lighting product from rain. The waterproof index is called Ingress Protection (IP), which refers to the level of protection offered by an electrical enclosure, against solids and liquids.
IP rating chart
An IP rating consists of two digits representing protection against solid objects such as dust, and liquids.
The most popular IP indexes for LED waterproof lights are IP65, IP67 and IP68. Base on the IP chart above, we can have a review:
IP65 = Water resistant. Protect against water jets from any angle.
IP67 = Water-resistant plus. Protect against the effects of temporary submersion (10 minutes at 3 feet).
IP68 = Waterproof. Protect against the effects of permanent submersion (up to 3 meters).
What IP rating will you need?
If the living environment is extremely dusty or wet, a lower IP rating would suffice. In places under the prolonged effect of excessive dust or rain, the IP ratings should be high and that demonstrate water-resistant or waterproof coatings on the LED lights.
So in short, LED waterproof lights should be picked to protect electrical devices from getting wet. Based on the demand, LED waterproof lights with IP65, IP67 or IP68 should be selected. LED waterproof lights also provide insurance for the house against electric shocks and fires, making them the best choice for outdoor lighting.
