2021年3月18日 · The IP44 protection class is something in between interior lights without any protection against moisture and completely waterproof lights for wet areas or outdoors. IP44 lighting units are protected against the ingress of insects and splashing water.

IP44 rating is splash proof and can withstand light rain or water splashes from any direction. IP65 rating is partially waterproof and can withstand heavy rain and direct jets from showers but not complete submersion in water.

The minimum IP rating generally required for lights is IP44. This rating will protect your lights against rain and spraying water. This means that lights with the IP44 rating can get wet.

2024年9月15日 · Porch Lights: For covered porches, IP44-rated lights may be sufficient, but if the area is exposed to wind-driven rain, opt for IP65. Garden Lights: For garden areas exposed to sprinklers or hoses, IP67 lights provide extra protection against temporary submersion.

For most decorative bathroom lighting, a rating of IP44 or above will work nicely. (The lights pictured above the vanity here are IP44-rated.) You should only need to consider wall lights above IP44 if they are likely to be in the way of high pressure water streams.

If it's an IP44 bathroom ceiling light, downlight or pendant light, it should be fixed at a minimum height of 2.5 meters from the floor. IP44 interior lights can add a unique touch to your bathroom but they should be installed at the right places to avoid any kind of incident like short circuits.

2020年11月9日 · Most light fixtures inside your home will be rated IP20 and that is sufficient for most indoor purposes. Ratings between IP44 and IP65 are acceptable for both indoor and general outdoor use, provided they are installed in a sheltered location and are protected from the harshest weather conditions.

An IP44 marking specifically indicates protection from the intrusion of particles. Lights which are IP44 rated are designed for use in bathrooms and other environments where water spray is a risk factor.

2021年7月12日 · Lights under IP44 are ideal only inside an area without much dust exposure. Good examples include offices and living rooms. A low rating between IP44 and IP65 is also okay inside.
