Ingress protection (IP) rating tells you the level that a light fitting is protected against solid particles and water. This is highly important for outdoor lighting as fittings are exposed to the outdoor elements such as dust, soil, rain, and humidity. For luminaires which will be used under the eaves of a roof, a minimum of IP44 or higher is recommended. For pergolas, a fitting with IP54 or IP65 rating would be desired. For fittings that are fully exposed to the elements, an IP65 rating is highly recommended. To find out more, visit https://elekzon.com.au/blogs/news/your-design-guide-outdoor-lighting
