The difference between IP66 and IP65 LED lights

IP65 is one of the definitions of IP level (dust-proof and waterproof). IP is the abbreviation of Ingress Protection. IP level is the protection level of electrical equipment shells against foreign matter intrusion, such as: explosion-proof electrical appliances, waterproof and dust-proof electrical appliances. The source is International Electrician The committee's standard is IEC 60529, which was also adopted as an American National Standard in 2004.

IP66 means that the lamp is completely protected from the intrusion of foreign objects and can completely prevent the entry of dust. When it withstands violent waves or strong water sprays, the amount of water entering the appliance should not have harmful effects.

One of the definitions of IP level (dustproof and waterproof): IP65IP is the abbreviation of IngressProtection. IP level is the protection level of electrical equipment shells against foreign matter intrusion, such as: explosion-proof electrical appliances, waterproof and dustproof electrical appliances. The source is the International Electrotechnical Commission standard IEC60529 , this standard was also adopted as an American national standard in 2004.

In this standard, for the protection of electrical equipment enclosures against foreign objects, the IP grade format is IPXX, where XX is two Arabic numerals. The first number indicates the level of contact protection and foreign object protection, and the second number indicates the level of waterproof protection. , please refer to the table below for specific protection levels.

IP is the international code used to identify protection levels. The IP level consists of two numbers. The first number indicates dustproof; the second number indicates waterproof. The larger the number, the better the protection level.

The IP65 of LED lights is a bare board light with glue dripping on it, while the IP66 is a bare board light strip + PVC or an IP65 light strip with a silicone sleeve.
