It is indicated by IP, followed by a number. It is IP XX, where XX is represented by two digits, with the first digit denoting the degree of protection against dust or accidental (solid) exposure.
This has a level from 0-6. The second digit represents the level of protection against water (liquid), which is from 0-8.
The number on the back of each IP has a different level of protection as follows.
Meaning of the first digit
0 = no protection at all
1 = able to protect against solids up to 50 mm in size
2 = able to protect against solids up to 12 mm in size
3 = Able to protect against solids of 2.5 mm or more
4 = able to protect against solids of 1 mm or more
5 = Able to protect against dust to some extent
6 = able to prevent dust

Meaning of the second digit
0 = no protection at all
1 = can prevent dripping, such as water droplets caused by moisture
2 = able to prevent water spray coming in at an angle of not more than 15 degrees from the vertical
3 = able to prevent water spray coming in at an angle of not more than 60 degrees from the vertical
4 = able to protect against water spray from all directions
5 = Able to protect against water to a certain extent
6 = Able to get wet but not for long, such as drizzle
7 = Able to immerse in water at depths from 15 cm to 1 meter
8 = Can be used underwater

for example
Floodlight STARFLOOD LED FLOOD LIGHT IP65 protection
Show that this type of electrical equipment Can prevent small dust with a dense volume and can prevent raindrops that are not very large or the amount of drizzle
Therefore, we can observe different types of lamps. obtained from the IP level If the IP value is low, it is often used only inside the house, in the building, in different rooms because it is not exposed to water.
But if the IP value is high, it is often used outside the building. because it can withstand both dust and water Like a STARFLOOD LED FLOOD LIGHT with IP65 rating
