"P-protection classes and protection types LED work lights and other electrical appliances have shells that protect internal technical components against contact, moisture and other environmental effects, which is greatly important according to the application of the headlights. What will the work light bring to a tractor if it can not survive in the rain? Here is an overview of different IP protection classes and their meanings. Protection classes are specified according to DIN 40050 and always start with IP. IP is then followed by 2 numbers, whose meanings can be found in the following table.
Protection against foreign bodies0 no protection
1 Protection against the ingress of solid bodies (diameter>50mm)
2 Protection against the ingress of solid bodies (diameter>12.5mm)
3 Protection against the ingress of solid bodies (diameter>2.5mm)
4 Protection against the ingress of solid bodies (diameter>1mm)
5 Protection against dust
6 Protection against dust
Protection against water
0 no protection
1 Protection against dripping water
2 Protection against dripping water with 15 ° inclination
3 Protection against water spray at an angle of up to 60 °
4 Protection against splash water
4K protection against splashing water with increased pressure
5 Protection against jet water
6 Protection against strong jet water
6K protection against strong jet water under increased pressure
7 Protection against temporary submersion
8 Protection against continuous submersion
9K protection against water during high pressure / steam jet cleaning
The LED work light with the protection class IP67 is thus dustproof and protected against temporary submersion in the water. IP68 protection is also achievable to the headlight now!"
