The first digit defines the level of protection against dust ingress, while the second defines protection against liquids. When we refer to IP6x ratings, it means that the luminaires are completely dust-tight. The second digit indicates the level of protection against liquid ingress, ranging from 0 (no protection) to 9 (protection against prolonged immersion in water).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Some of the most common applications for these high technical specification luminaires are:<\/p>\n
\n- <\/span>Kitchens \u2192 <\/span>In commercial kitchens (hotels, campsites, etc.) or any environment with high temperatures, luminaires must have a high IP rating to withstand harsh conditions caused by grease or steam.<\/li>\n
- Outdoor areas \u2192 Luminaires used outdoors (parks, courtyards, fa\u00e7ades, garages, etc.) may be exposed to adverse conditions. Therefore, a high IP rating is required to withstand environmental conditions such as rain and dust.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
