What does IP stand for in LED high bay lights?

2021-09-04

When everyone buys LED high bay lights, an index that they often see is IP65 and so on. It is estimated that someone will ask, what does the IP65 LED high bay light represent?The protection level is usually expressed by two numbers followed by IP, and the numbers are used to clarify the protection level.
The first digit indicates the scope of the equipment's resistance to dust, or the degree to which people are protected from hazards in a sealed environment. Represents the level of preventing solid foreign objects from entering, the highest level is 6;
The second digit indicates how waterproof the device is. Represents the level of preventing water ingress, the highest level is 8.

The first digit dustproof level after IP

No.

Protection range

0

Unprotected

No special protection for external people or objects

1

Prevent the intrusion of solid foreign objects with a diameter greater than 50mm

Prevent the human body (such as palm) from accidentally contacting the parts inside the electrical appliance, and prevent the intrusion of foreign objects with large size (diameter greater than 50mm)

2

Prevent the invasion of solid foreign objects with a diameter greater than 12.5mm

Prevent people's fingers from contacting the parts inside the electrical appliance and prevent the intrusion of foreign objects with medium size (diameter greater than 12.5mm)

3

Prevent the intrusion of solid foreign objects with a diameter greater than 2.5mm

Prevent tools, wires and similar small foreign objects with diameter or thickness greater than 2.5mm from invading and contacting the parts inside the electrical appliance

 

4

Prevent the invasion of solid foreign objects with a diameter greater than 1.0mm

 

Prevent tools, wires and similar small foreign objects with diameter or thickness greater than 1.0mm from invading and contacting the parts inside the electrical appliance

 

5

Prevent foreign objects and dust

Completely prevent the invasion of foreign objects. Although it can not completely prevent the invasion of dust, the amount of dust will not affect the normal operation of electrical appliances

6

Prevent foreign objects and dust

 

Completely prevent the invasion of foreign objects and dust


The second digit after IP: Waterproof rating

No.

Protection range

0

Unprotected

No special protection against water or moisture

1

Prevent water droplet immersion

Vertically falling water droplets (such as condensate) will not cause damage to electrical appliances

2

When tilted 15 degrees, water droplets can still be prevented from immersion

When the appliance is tilted from vertical to 15 degrees, dripping water will not cause damage to the appliance

 

3

Prevent spraying water from immersion

Protect against rain or damage caused by water sprayed in the direction with an included angle of less than 60 degrees from the vertical

4

Prevent splashing water from immersion

 

Prevent water splashing from all directions from invading the electrical appliance and causing damage

 

5

Prevent spray water from immersion

 

Prevent low pressure water spray lasting at least 3 minutes

 

6

Prevent big wave immersion

 

Prevent heavy water spray lasting at least 3 minutes

 

7

Prevent water immersion during immersion

 

Prevent the effect of immersion for 30 minutes in water up to 1 meter deep

 

8

Prevent water immersion when sinking

 

Prevent the effect of continuous immersion in water with a depth of more than 1m. The exact conditions are specified by the manufacturer for each equipment.

 


Our led industrial and mining lamps have a protection level of IP65 and are very tightly sealed.

LED high bay lights are used in large workshops, gymnasiums, high-bay workshops, warehouses, shopping malls, exhibition halls, supermarkets, large shopping malls, shipyards, and other lighting places.
