What is Weatherproof
Weatherproof refers to lighting fixtures or products that are specifically designed to withstand exposure to various weather conditions. These weather conditions can include rain, splashes of water, moisture, and other outdoor elements. The term “weatherproof” indicates that the lighting product has been constructed with features and materials that allow it to continue functioning properly even when exposed to these environmental factors.

To determine the weatherproofing level of a lighting product, the IP (Ingress Protection) rating system is commonly used. The IP rating consists of two digits, with each digit representing a different aspect of protection. The first digit indicates the level of protection against solid objects, while the second digit represents the level of waterproofing.
The IP65 rating signifies that the lighting product is “water resistant.” This means that it is capable of withstanding water splashes from any direction. However, it is important to note that IP65-rated lights are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water. On the other hand, the highest level of weather resistance mentioned is IP68. Lighting products with an IP68 rating are considered “waterproof” and can withstand permanent submersion in water up to a depth of 3 meters. These lights are suitable for areas that experience heavy rainfall or require a higher level of water protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Bathroom Lights Need to Be Waterproof
No, it is not always necessary to have damp-rated lights in your bathroom. The majority of areas in these spaces only encounter minimal moisture, and proper ventilation helps prevent condensation. You can explore our range of bathroom lighting options to find the dry, damp, and wet fixtures that are suitable for creating your ideal oasis.
What Is the Lowest Waterproof Rating
IP00 or IPXX is the lowest level of protection on the IP rating scale, while IP68 is the highest.
What Is the Best Waterproof Light Rating
IP68: The Highest Waterproof Rating
IP68 is widely recognized as the most effective waterproof rating in common use. With 8 being the highest number on the IP water rating scale, any IP enclosure with a rating ending in 8 provides the best possible waterproof protection.
Can LED Lights Be Exposed to Rain
Like any electrical system, LEDs and water do not mix well. Although low-voltage lighting reduces the risk of electrical shock, being exposed to moisture can still lead to shorts or rusting, ultimately decreasing the lifespan of your LEDs.
What Does All Weatherproof Mean
All weatherproof means that something is capable of enduring exposure to various weather conditions without experiencing any harm or impairment in its functionality.
