Facts and myths about the IP value of Garden lights

When selecting outdoor lighting, there is one important thing you should pay attention to: the IP value. The IP value indicates how well the lighting is protected against dust and water. The IP protection class consists of IP and two digits. IP stands for International Protection. The first digit indicates the extent to which the lamp is protected against dust and contact. This runs from 0 to 6, with 0 being very unprotected and 6 being dust-free. The second digit indicates the extent to which the lamp is protected against water and moisture. With a protection rating of 0, water and moisture can easily enter the luminaire. At a maximum protection rating of 9, the lamp is completely watertight.
