Wet Rated Lights

GGJIA IP65 Waterproof Lights

IP65 waterproof lights offer numerous benefits that enhance their functionality and durability. These lights are designed to endure dust and water exposure, making them highly resilient and long-lasting. The complete dustproof feature ensures that no particles can enter the fixture, preventing damage or wear over time. The waterproof rating guarantees that the light can resist low-pressure water jets, which is particularly useful in areas prone to rain, splashing, or regular cleaning. This resistance not only improves the light's lifespan but also reduces maintenance costs by eliminating the need for frequent repairs or replacements. Moreover, the enhanced durability and safety provided by IP65 lights ensure reliable operation in various challenging environments.

FAQs About Wet Rated:

Q: What Does IP65 Mean?

• In the case of IP65 rated enclosures, 6 is the highest rating against solid object ingress.
• The number 5 in an IP65 enclosure indicates it is protected from light pressure water jets and other liquids sprayed or splashed, from any angle.

Q: Can IP65 lights be used outside?

IP ratings between 44 and 65 may be used for indoor and general outdoor use. Anything lower than IP44 should only be used indoors, however. IP65 outdoor lights can withstand rain and are safe to use outdoors. However, they should not be exposed to pressurised water such as a jet wash.

Q: Is IP65 waterproof?

Is IP65 waterproof? IP65 is not waterproof – it is water resistant. You cannot submerge products that carry an IP65 rating and maintain their protections. Sometimes manufacturers will claim their device is water resistant but they have not performed the IEC testing to the standard.

Q: Does IP65 mean fire rated?

All Integral LED Fire Rated downlights are rated IP65. This means that they are dust tight and waterproof, suitable for bathrooms (zones 1 and 2), kitchens, and other rooms where splashing and vapour would make lower-rated downlights not only unsuitable, but potentially dangerous.

Q: Can IP65 be used in rain?

The combination of dust-tight construction and water jet protection ensures that your devices remain operational even in heavy rain. While they are not designed for underwater use, IP65 products can withstand significant exposure to moisture without compromising their functionality.

Q: Which is better, IP65 or IP44?

Is IP65 or IP44 better? We're often asked if an IP rating of IP65 or IP44 is better. In general, a higher IP rating offers better protection, so an IP65 rating would be better than IP44. A fixture with IP65 will protect against dust, moisture, and water.

Q: Where do I need IP65?

Zone 1 is the area above the bath or shower to a height of 2.25m from the floor. In this zone a minimum rating of IP45 is required but it is generally accepted that IP65 is to be used. It's also worth noting that most shower lights are rated at IP65 in any case.

Q: What does IP mean in lighting?

IP is Ingress Protection, this classifies the degree of protection against solids and liquids in electrical enclosures. An IP rating basically tells customers how well protected the light fitting is against moisture and other foreign bodies such as dirt.

Q: What are the benefits of IP65?

By providing a strong defence against dust, debris, and water, IP65-rated hardware reduces the risk of damage, malfunctions, and downtime. This reliability translates into decreased maintenance costs, fewer replacements, and improved overall efficiency.

Q: Where is IP65 used?

An IP65 rated enclosure provides ptotection from low-pressure water jets from any direction. This is suitable for most outdoor enclosures that will not encounter any extreme weather such as water submersion. An IP67 rated enclosure however offers more protection agionast liquid ingress.

Q: Is IP65 explosion proof?

Is IP65 explosion-proof? While IP ratings primarily address dust and water protection, they don't explicitly cover explosion-proof properties. For environments requiring explosion protection, look for devices with dedicated certifications.

Q: Can you use IP65 indoor?

Thanks to being dust-tight and offering a strong level of moisture protection and security against water ingress, lighting components with the IP65 rating are typically used for bathroom and kitchens.

Q: What is IP65 rating in LED lights?

An IP65 rating makes the product completely dust-tight with protection against low-pressure water jets from any direction. IP66 means the product is completely dust-tight as well as protected against high pressure water jets from any direction.

Q: Can you use IP65 lights outside?

The IP65 rating means that the lights are protected against water jets from any direction, therefore they're weatherproof and can be used outside all year round.

Q: Is IP65 good for heavy rain?

Note that an IP65 rating can handle splashes and average rainfall, but it isn't ideal for heavy downpours, especially with strong winds. 

Q: Why is IP65 important?

An IP65-rated product ensures that no foreign bodies or moisture can penetrate the device, minimizing the risk of electrical accidents. This level of protection is crucial in maintaining a safe working environment for construction workers.

Q: What material is IP65?

Specialized materials, including aluminum alloys, stainless steel and carbon steel, to meet your application requirements. Finishes available include wet coat and powder coat painting, anodizing and alodining.

Q: What does IP65 mean in electrical?

Your first question might be – what does IP65 mean? The quick answer is that IP65 is an international standard that indicates that an electrical enclosure is dust tight and watertight against light pressure water spray.

Q: Is IP65 moisture resistant?

The short answer is no, IP65 rated products are not considered waterproof. Instead, IP65 products are considered ``water resistant,'' meaning they can take a low-pressure splash of moisture, but they should not be submerged in water.

Q: Is IP65 okay in the rain?

Outdoor equipment with an IP65 rating offers reliable protection against dust and low-pressure water jets, making them suitable for various indoor and outdoor applications. For areas exposed to heavy rain and strong coastal winds, equipment rated IP65 or higher is recommended.
