When choosing lighting for your home or business, it's not just about how the fitting looks — it's about making sure it can handle the environment it's being installed in.
An IP rating tells you how well a product is protected against dust, solid particles, water and moisture. The higher the numbers, the better the protection.
From summer rain and thunderstorms to dust, heat and coastal moisture, choosing the correct IP-rated fitting improves reliability and lifespan.
Weatherproof fittings are suitable for rain, dust and general outdoor conditions, while waterproof fittings are specifically designed for temporary or continuous water immersion.
