However, when it comes to choosing the right <a href=\"https:\/\/ledbestlights.com\/led-light-products\/\">LED light<\/a> for your needs, it is important to consider its IP rating.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>IP stands for Ingress Protection, which is a standardized system for rating how well an electrical product protects against solid objects (such as dust) and liquids (such as water.) The IP rating consists of two numbers, the first indicating the degree of protection against solids and the second indicating the degree of protection against liquids.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>For example, an LED light with an IP65 rating means that it is protected against dust and low-pressure water jets from any direction. On the other hand, an LED light with an IP68 rating is completely impervious to dust and can be submerged in water to a certain depth.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Knowing the IP rating of your LED light is crucial because it determines where and how you can use it. For example, if you plan to install <a href=\"https:\/\/ledbestlights.com\/best-led-flood-light-manufacturer\/\">LED flood lights<\/a> or stadium LED lights in your <a href=\"https:\/\/ledbestlights.com\/blog\/best-led-tennis-court-lights-solution\/\">tennis court lighting<\/a>, you need a high IP rating to prevent water damage and ensure longevity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bf36574 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bf36574\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What does each of the two numbers mean?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0a26ea0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0a26ea0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>IP waterproof rating usually consists of two numbers.
