Waterproofing or IP protection for solar lighting outdoor and garden lamps
If we review the technical data of electronic equipment or gadgets that have sensors, readers, controllers, meters, etc., we will find IP codes. We can find codes consisting of the letters IP (ingress protection) followed by two numbers or digits. This alludes to the degree of protection of the device.
These IP degrees of protection refer to an international standard IEC 60529 Degrees of Protection. They indicate the level of protection of electronic devices with respect to the entry of external agents such as dust or water. The lowest degree of protection is IP00 and the highest IP68. As a general rule, we can say that the higher the IP rating, the more protection and weatherproofing our gadget or device will have.
