What is LED IP Rating of LED display?

LED IP rating refers to the protection level of LED products, indicating the ability of LED products to resist dust, solid objects, and water.

The IP rating of LED displays consists of two digits, with the first digit indicating the protection level against solid objects and the second digit indicating the protection level against liquids.

LED IP rating is a standard established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and the following is the composition and determination method of IP rating:

The first digit: Indicates the protection level against solid objects, ranging from 0 to 6.

0: No protection, no protection capability.

1: Protects against solid objects larger than 50mm in diameter.

2: Protects against solid objects larger than 12.5mm in diameter.

3: Protects against solid objects larger than 2.5mm in diameter.

4: Protects against solid objects larger than 1mm in diameter.

5: Protects against dust ingress, although not completely.

6: Completely dustproof, no dust ingress.

The second digit: Indicates the waterproof level, ranging from 0 to 9.

0: No protection, no protection capability.

1: Protects against vertically falling drops.

2: Protects against vertically falling drops when tilted up to 15 degrees.

3: Protects against spraying water.

4: Protects against splashing water.

5: Protects against water jets.

6: Protects against powerful water jets or waves.

7: Protects against temporary immersion in water.

8: Protects against prolonged immersion in water.

9: Protects against high-pressure, high-temperature water jets.

Therefore, the IP rating of LED can be determined by combining two digits, for example, IP65 means complete dust protection (level 6) and protection against water jets from any direction (level 5).

Usually, the IP rating of LED products is declared by the manufacturer in product specifications and manuals. When purchasing, check the product documentation or consult the supplier to understand its IP rating. Ensure to choose the appropriate IP rating suitable for the desired environment to ensure the adaptability and durability of LED products in specific applications.
