Ingress Protection: What does It Mean?
Tips Tricks & advice
Ingress Protection:
Ingress Protection ratings, are standardized and globally recognized ratings of the degree of protection provided by mechanical casings and electrical enclosures against the entry of solid particles (from body parts to dust) and liquids into the object.
Many products in our industry (Driving lights,Outdoor portable Lighting Torch, Led Light bars, LED Work Light etc) are often used in dirty and wet environments, so it’s important to know that they’re built to handle it!
First digit: solid particle ingress protection
The first digit of IP ratings indicates the level of protection against ingress of solid objects and particles.
T70: LED Hunting Torches, as well, have received a huge boost from the advent of LED technology. They’re now lighter and brighter than ever before, with high-quality examples like our LED LASER Driving Lights being able to illuminate up to 1000m away from the source.
Waterproof: IPX-8
Starpoint LED LASER Driving lights with great distance, they can illuminate up to 2000M
Waterproof rate: IP 68

The first digit of IP ratings indicates the level of protection against ingress of solid objects and particles.
| Number | Protection Level | Details |
| X | N/A | No data available to specify a rating. |
| 0 | None | No protection against solid particle ingress. |
| 1 | > 50mm | Large body parts |
| 2 | > 12.5mm | Small body parts (e.g. finger) or similar-sized objects |
| 3 | > 2.5mm | Tools (e.g. screwdrivers, spanners), thick wires, most larger insects etc |
| 4 | > 1mm | Screws, thin wires, most small insects etc |
| 5 | Dust protected | Some dust can enter, but not enough to interfere with the satisfactory performance of the equipment. |
| 6 | Dust-tight | No dust can enter; complete protection. |
