LED Strip IP Ratings Explained
Here at SDL Lighting, all our LED strip products come with an IP Rating. This abbreviation is referred to how waterproof a product is.
Now although this statement is true, there is more to it, IP ratings for LED also serve to tell us how well a product is protected against any other foreign bodies. IP ratings usually follow with two digits, it is these two digits that determine the status of protection your product has.
The letters IP stands for International Protection Marking, after this you have the two additional digits that follow, the first digit highlights how well the product guards against foreign bodies.
Please see below for list of what each first digit represents.
1. Protection from a large part of the body e.g. hand. Objects greater than 50mm diameter.
2. Protection against fingers or any other objects not greater than 80mm in length and 12mm diameter.
3. Protection from entry by tools, wires etc. with a diameter of 2.5mm or more
