LED underwater light, you can know from the name, this is a light fixture used in water, and it must be waterproof in performance. On the back of the light fixture, we often see such a string of words - waterproof rating: IP68 .
Expert friends can see what it means by looking at it, but many laymen are confused. What is IP68? What do 6 and 8 represent? I'll explain it to you today.
What is IP?
Very simple, IP is the abbreviation of Ingress Protection, which translates to the meaning of protection level, which is aimed at the ability of electrical equipment to prevent the intrusion of foreign objects. This standard was also adopted as the American national standard in 2004.
What does the first number 6 represent?
This number represents the dustproof index. The larger the number, the stronger the dustproof function. 6 is the best layer, which can prevent foreign objects and dust from entering.
What does the second number 8 mean?
The second number 8 represents the waterproof level. The higher the number, the better the waterproof ability. This number is extremely important for LED underwater lights. Although waterproof level 7 can prevent water intrusion, it can only be prevented for a period of time, while waterproof level 8 The luminaires are protected against water intrusion indefinitely. The underwater lights also have IP67, so you should pay more attention when purchasing.
Chongqing Xinyuanhui Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd.: The above is the full explanation of the IP68 protection level. Having IP68 protection level is the standard configuration of a good LED light. Not only that, a good LED underwater light also has high-quality lamp beads. Heat resistance and production process are related. When everyone buys lamps, they must choose the most suitable lamps according to their personal circumstances.
