INGRESSION PROTECTION (IP)

IP stands for ’Ingress Protection’ and it’s a measure of electronic enclosures’ rating according to their levels of sealing effectiveness against intrusion from:

Foreign bodies (tools, dirt, etc.)

Moisture

Magik has a wide variety of lighting fixtures with IP 65. Due to the harsh outdoor conditions of rain and dust, outdoor LED display panels that are not IP rated or do not achieve a rating of IP65 are prone to damage or failure with long-term exposure. The stringent IP testing process subjects panels to environments of varying temperature and pressure, as well as dust and water to accurately determine their protective qualities.

Here is a comprehensive guide as to how you can understand what the NUMBERS on the IP rating mean-

  • The

    FIRST DIGIT

    signifies intrusion protection.
  • The

    SECOND DIGIT

    signifies mositure protection.
